ABSTRACT

Traditionally, classification and grading is performed based on observations and through

experience. This paper presents an integrating system for grading by considering different
attributes. A fruit color, size detecting, and grading system based on image processing.
For grading using color and size after capturing the fruit side view image, some fruit
characters is extracted by using detecting algorithms. According to these characters,
Grading is realized. Results show that this embedded system has the advantage of high
accuracy of grading, high speed and low cost. This proposed system will have a good
prospect of application in fruit quality detecting and grading areas. A fruit color, size
detecting, and grading system based on image processing. For grading using color and
size after capturing the fruit side view image, some fruit characters is extracted by using
detecting algorithms.
