ELECTRONIC VISION AND USES IN AUTOMATIC HANDLING OF AGRICULTURAL MATERIALS

Abstract

Sorting machines of fruits are mostly used in the industries. The process of sorting started by detecting the color of the fruits to indicate its classification based on the color of the fruit. In this dissertation, a fruit sorting machine has been designed and built for small scale industries needing low cost compared to those now being used, which are expensive. This quest focuses on sorting the different types of fruits such as apples, tomatoes, and navel orange which are green and red. Study also includes using computer program to draw the relationship between productivity of sorting and system speed. “Matlab software – version 8.5”, and cycle time of processes of sorting system are supplemented for the completion of outcomes.
