Most of it applied to the robot that canbe utilized for picking fruit and for inspection vehicle. Identification and classification is a major challenge for thecomputer vision to achieve near human levels of recognition. The fruits and vegetable classification is useful inthe supermarkets and can be utilized in computer vision for the automatic sorting of fruits from a set, consisting ofdifferent kind of fruits. The objective of this work is to develop an automated tool, which can be capable ofidentifying and classifying mango fruits based on shape, size and color features by digital image analysis. Initially,pre-processing techniques will be adopted to obtain the binary image using the texture analysis and morphologicaloperations on digital images of different mango fruits. Later, the processed images will be further classified bysuitable classification method. MATLAB have been used as the programming tool for identification andclassification of fruits using Image Processing toolbox. Proposed method can be used to detect the visible defects,stems, size and shape of mangos, and to classify the mango in high speed and precision.Keywords: Image Processing, Mango Classification, Mango Identification, Fruit Grading, Defect Detection.I. INTRODUCTIONIn recent years, many researches have been done onfruit quality detection by using computer visiontechnology, and a lot of significant results have beenobtained. There are many research reports, but so farthey are in the experimental stage, and the analysismethod is far from practical application. Particularly inthe defect detection, the current approach used to dealwith very slow, cannot be used in actual online work.In some literature, different methods of recognition ofdefects are implemented, but the need to use both nearinfrared and mid-infrared camera equipment, the costof these two devices, making the application of thismethod is limited, cannot be widely used in agriculturalgrading equipment. Therefore, it is of importance tostudy the classification detection method suitable forproduction. A generalized block diagram ofidentification and classification of mango fruits isshown in Fig 1.Figure 1. Generalized block diagram of identification andclassification of mango fruits.Mango is one of the world‟s favorite tropical fruitswith an increasing production trend every year. Ingeneral, the color of the fruit indicates its maturity andthe presence of defects. Its physical appearance affectsits value in the market, so it is important to observeproper handling of fruits after harvesting. Sorters mustknow the requirements that should be followed so thatthe fruits can be accepted for export.Sorting objects is usually done using its physicalfeatures. Automatic sorting has been studied anddeveloped for different products. The process ofclassifying mangoes relies on its physicalcharacteristics. This process is presently done usingmanual labor and is substantially dependent on theCSEIT172271 Received: 08 March 2017 Accepted: 18 March 2017 March-April 2017 [(2)2: 203-210]203
human visual system. Uniformity in the classificationprocess is critical so that its output is guaranteed tosatisfy the requirements for exporting mangoes. Fruitcategorizations in agriculture have changed fromtraditional grading by humans to automaticclassification over the past 20 years. Many companiesare moving to automated classification in many cropssuch as grading on peaches and oranges [1]. To classifymangoes, we need to be aware of the mango-gradingstandard. Colour and the size are the most importantcriteria that are used to sort fruits. However, for sortingof mangoes, there is another major factor which is theskin texture of mangoes that can improve the accuracyof the classification system. The purpose of the studywas to implement an image-processing algorithm thatcan help in automating the process of mangoclassification. The specific objectives were to apply animage analysis algorithm that can measure the size andshape of a mango and at the same time determine itsdefective areas and classify the mango using theextracted features.Demand from the consumer for quality produces, theconsistent behavior of machines in compare withhumans, the insufficiency of labor and attempt toreduce labor costs are the primary motivations ofidentification and classification of mango system. Themain objective of this work is to design an algorithmthat can identify and classify mango fruits based onshape and size features by digital image analysis. Inmore detail, the research objectives are stated asfollows. To develop an algorithm for image processingto identify and classify mango fruits, and test andverify the analysis of image processing withexperimental results.This proposed work is an attempt to implement anextensively designed project based on the topicscovered.

OTHER IMAGE PROCESSINGIMPLEMENTATION WITH FRUITSThe review of literature is accomplished very carefullyand keenly towards the proper definition of theproblem. Different methodologies are beinginvestigated to propose and implement the presentwork. The reviewed literature has been classified intoprimary heads for the sake of the comprehensiveanalysis study such a classification shall help to studyliterature as per their context. The image processingand computer vision systems have been widely usedfor identification, classification, grading and qualityevaluation in the agriculture area. Some of the mostimportant implementation of image processing inagricultural products is: The image processing method for classification oforange by ripeness is developed. In this work, theproper degree of maturity is determined and basedon that orange have been classified by histogramand morphological analysis. It uses standardCODEX benchmark, in that quality level of thecommercial types of specified orange [2].A fusion approach is implemented to formulticlass fruit and vegetable classification task indistribution center and supermarket. A novelunified approach has been introduced, to combinemany features and classifier. This method requiresless training of data than another method thatcombines features individually and fed separatelyto classification algorithm [3].Using just one image feature to secure the classseparability might not be sufficient, so it isnecessary to extract and combine those featureswhich are useful for the fruit and vegetablerecognition problem. The result of the systemdepends upon the image segmentation method, soefficient image segmentation must be used. In theliterature, available classifiers work on two classesonly, but in the classification problem authorconsidered more than two categories, so it is amajor issue to use a binary classifier in amulticlass scenario [4].An image processing based hybrid algorithm hasbeen implemented for automatic identification andclassification of fruits. The hybrid method relies204
on the techniques of Fourier descriptors (FD),spatial domain analysis (SDA) and artificial neuralnetwork (ANN) [5].By performing digital image processing, definedas the acquisition and processing of visualinformation by computer, computer visionsystems allow analyzing image data for specificapplications to determine how images can be usedto extract the required information. Among themost important features for accurate classificationand sorting of products, it can be mentioned theshape. In this paper for segmentation, a techniquebase on Hough Transform is used to detection ofobject shape [6].Machine vision has been introduced in a variety ofindustrial applications for fruit processing,allowing the automation of tasks performed so farby human operators. Such an important task is thedetection of defects present on fruit peel whichhelps to grade or to classify fruit quality. In thispaper, a hybrid algorithm, which is based on splitand merges approach, is proposed for an imagesegmentation that can be used in fruit defectdetection [7].Variable lighting condition, occlusions andclustering are some of the important issues neededto be addressed for accurate detection andlocalization of fruit in orchard environment. Thispaper summarizes various techniques and theiradvantages and disadvantages in detecting fruit inplant or tree canopies. The paper also summarizesthe sensors and systems developed and used byresearchers to localize fruit as well as the potentialand limitations of those systems [8].Image processing is an efficient tool for analysisin various fields and applications in agriculture.Today‟s very advanced and automated industriesused more accurate method for differentinspection processes of agriculture object. Thistask is known as robotics task. In Indianagriculture industry, many kinds of activities aredone like quality inspection, sorting, assembly,painting, packaging. Above mentioned activitiesare done manually. By using Digital Imageprocessing tasks done conveniently and efficiently.Using Digital image processing many kinds oftask fulfills like object Shape, size, color detection,texture extraction, firmness of purpose, aroma,maturity, etc. In this paper, various algorithms ofshape detection are explained, and conclusions areVolume 2 Issue 2 March-April 2017 www.ijsrcseit.com provided for best algorithm even merits anddemerits of each algorithm or method aredescribed [9].Seasonal fruits, like mango, are harvested fromgardens or farms in batches; the mangoes presentin each batch are not uniformly matured, therefore,sorting of mangoes into different groups isnecessary for transporting them to differentlocations. With this background, this paperproposes a machine-vision-based system forclassification of mangoes by predicting maturitylevel and aimed to replace the manual sortingsystem. The prediction of maturity level has beenperformed from the video signal collected by theCharge Coupled Device (CCD) camera placed onthe top of the conveyor belt carrying mangoes.Extracted image frames from the video signalhave been corrected and processed to extractvarious features, which were found to be morerelevant for the prediction of maturity level [1].This paper focuses on the automatic detection ofthe pomegranate fruits in an orchard. The image issegmented based on the color feature using kmeans clustering algorithm. The K-Meansalgorithm produces accurate segmentation resultsonly when applied to images defined byhomogeneous regions on texture and color.Segmentation begins by clustering the pixelsbased on their color and spatial features. Theclustered blocks are then merged to a specificnumber of regions. Thus it provides a solution forimage retrieval. Thus this paper proposed thesimulation results that have been attained usingthe algorithm [10].The literature survey gives a keen insight into thevarious studies done in the field of identification andclassification of mango fruit. The study focused mainlyon different methods and applications of Mango fruitidentification and classification system. A variety ofmethods has been suggested by the researchers toimprove the performance of the system. This literaturesurvey has provided useful insight into differenttechniques that can be utilized to plan design anddevelopment of the proposed method.III. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATIONTo enhance the quality and quantity of the agricultureproduct, there is a need to adopt the new technology.Mango classification requires early and cost effective205
solutions. Image processing approach is a non-invasivetechnique which provides consistent, reasonablyaccurate, less time consuming and cost effectivesolution for farmers to manage fertilizers and pesticides.Some important factors and issues which are needed tobe considered while development of identification andclassification method for mango fruit is listed below:3. High-level processing: Classification of mangofruit has been performed in high-level processing.A. Background subtractionIt is necessary to extract mango from the clutteredenvironment, so subtraction of background is essentialfor proper identification and classification of mangofruits. Background subtraction also reduces the scenecomplexities such as shading, light variation,background clutter.B. Feature ExtractionShape – Region and boundary are two types of shapedescription feature. Region-based features include gridbased and moment approaches, whereas finite elementmodels, rectilinear shape, polygonal approximation andFourier-based shape descriptors are boundary-basedshape features.Colour - Colour Value and Degree of Colourdistribution are measured based on R, G, and B colorcomponent ratio. Example: Colour may be different forexample; Orange ranges from being green to yellow, topatchy and brown.Size - Size may be large, medium or small. It ismeasured from the maximum length or area orcalculated volume from several images.Figure 2: FlowchartAlgorithm 1: Identification and Classification of Mango FruitsStartStep 1: Read each image into the MATLAB from theparticular folder of mango dataset.Step 2: Convert the original image into greyscale imageand binary image.Step 3: Filter the image using a median filter.Step 4: Remove or subtract the background from preprocessed image.Step 5: Filter the image using a median filter.Step 6: Calculate area of mango image.Step 7: Calculate quality ratio b a/(x*y).Step8: Apply conditionif (b 0)Mango is defected.elseMango is not defected.endStep 9: Finally, we are displaying various results.C. ClassifierIn classification process different feature such asgeometric and, non-geometric features need to beclassified. So, it is necessary to address the issue ofproper selection of classifier.IV.PROPOSED METHODOLOGYThe Proposed algorithm for identification andclassification of mango fruits is shown in Fig. 2.Theoretically, proposed algorithm involves three typesof processing:1. Low-level processing: In low-level processinginput image/dataset is pre-processed. Preprocessing includes RGB to gray conversion,image binarization, and image filtering.2. Intermediate-level processing: Intermediate levelprocessing involves background subtraction,identification of defected region and filtering.Volume 2 Issue 2 March-April 2017 www.ijsrcseit.comStop.In general, the implementation of Algorithm forIdentification and Classification of Mango Fruitscomprises the following five consecutive steps, namely(1) database; (2) pre-processing of the dataset; (3)background subtraction; (4) feature extraction; (5)Identification and classification. The illustration ofsteps is as follows:206
Step-1: DatabaseDatabase of 100 calibrated images of mangoes „Kent‟(50 mangos photographed by both sides) is obtainedfrom the web [11]. These samples are mangos cv.„Kent‟ in different maturity stages. The imageacquisition system was composed of a digital camera(EOS 550D, Canon Inc.) used to acquire high-qualityimages with a size of 1200 x 800 pixels and aresolution of 0.03 mm/pixel. Images of fruit werestored in JPG format due to internet limitations.The images were taken by placing each sample insidean inspection chamber in which contained the cameraand the lighting system. The vision system used toacquire the images is shown in Fig. 3. The camera wasplaced at a distance of 20 cm from the samples.Illumination was achieved using four lamps thatcontained two fluorescent tubes. The angle between theaxis of the lens and the sources of illumination was ofapproximately 45º since the diffuse reflectionresponsible for the color occurs at 45º from the incidentlight.Table 1.Camera Settings and ParametersX Resolution72 inchY Resolution72 inchExposure time [s]¼F-Number22.0ISO speed ratings800Shutter speed [s]¼ApertureF22.6FlashNo flashFocal length [mm]35Color spaceSrgbCompression settingFineWhite balanceCloudyStep-3: Background SubtractionThe preliminary background subtraction (segmentation)serves two purposes. The first purpose is to removemost of the background pixels for determination of thecoarse mango regions. The second purpose is todetermine whether mango pixels as a whole are darkerthan the background. If so, reverse the intensity of themango image to make all the images have mangopixels that are brighter than the background andtherefore improve the performance of the classifiers.Step-4: Feature ExtractionFigure 3: Setup used to capture the imagesFinally, use the function bwarea can calculate thenumber of pixels in the white area total. Using the ratioof the total to the pixel value (x*y) of the whole image,multiplying the area of the image, we can get the areaof the mango relative to the image, and we can use thisarea for screening.However, the samples have a curved shape that canstill produce bright spots affecting the colormeasurements. To minimize the impact of thesespecular reflections cross polarization was used byplacing polarizing filters in front of the lamps and thecamera lenses. The fluorescent tubes were poweredusing high-frequency electronic ballast to avoid theflickering effect of the other current and produce amore stable light. Two images of each mango weretaken (A and B) from both sides. The settings of thecamera used for the acquisition are summarized inTable 1.Step-5: Identification and ClassificationStep-2: Pre-processingThe proposed algorithm is an attempt to make a simpleand effective tool for identification and classification ofmango fruits using image processing. In this section,the result at various stages of the algorithm is shownand discussed. Experiments were carried out with a setof 28 Mangos. Preliminary results in Figure 5.1 showInitially, captured mango image is pre-processed. Formango size detection, mainly rely on the mango area asthe basis for identification.Volume 2 Issue 2 March-April 2017 www.ijsrcseit.comIn this step, mango is classified into two classes basedon features. In the first class, flawless mangos and insecond class defected mangoes are classified. Detectionof defected mango has been performed based onsurface defect (such as scars, dark spots, etc.). Thedefected mango is identified by extracting the contourof damaged part. Then damaged part has been filled tofind its area in the image as the basis for discrimination.V. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION207
