A Novel Mango Grading System Based on Image Processing and Machine Learning Methods

Mangoes are a great commercial fruit and are widely cultivated in tropical areas. In smart agriculture, the automatic quality inspection and grading application is essential to post-harvest processing, due to the laborious nature and inconsistencies of traditional manual visual grading. This paper presents a low-cost, efficient, and effective mango grading system based on image processing and machine learning methods to generate higher quality fruit sorting, quality maintenance, production, and cut back labor concentration. A novel database of classified mangoes was collected and built in An Giang province. Methodologies and algorithms that utilize digital image processing, content-predicated analysis, and statistical analysis are implemented to determine the grade of local mango production. On our collected dataset, the proposed system achieved overall with an overall accuracy of 88% for all mango grades. The system shows compromised results for higher-quality fruit sorting, quality maintenance, and production while reducing labor concentration.
