Abstract: Thanks to its geographical and climatic advantages, Colombia has a historically strong fruit-growing tradition. To date, the basis of its food and economic development in a significant part of its territory is based on a wide range of fruits. One of the most important in the central and western regions of the country is the blackberry, which is rooted not only from the economic and food point of view but also culturally. For the departments of Casanare, Santander, and Cundinamarca, this fruit is one of the primary sources of income, rural employment, and food supply and income. However, small and medium farmers cultivate without access to technological production tools and with limited economic capacity. This process suffers from several problems that affect the whole plant, especially the fruit, which is strongly influenced by fungi, extreme ripening processes, or low temperatures. One of the main problems to be dealt with in its cultivation is the spread of pests, which are one of the causes of fruit rot. As a support strategy in producing this fruit, the development of an embedded system for visually diagnosing the fruit using a deep neural network is proposed. The article presents the training, tuning, and performance evaluation of this convolutional network to detect three possible fruit states, ripe, immature, and rotten, to facilitate the harvesting and marketing processes and reduce the impact on the healthy fruit and the quality of the final product. The model is built with a ResNet type network, which is trained with its dataset, which seeks to use images captured in their natural environment with as little manipulation as possible to reduce image analysis. This model achieves an accuracy of 70%, which indicates its high performance and validates its use in a stand-alone embedded system.
