Measurement of physical properties of fruits using image analysis

Abstract

Most of the information that humans obtain from their environment is obtained by vision. The mechanism of human vision depends basically on the eyes, which are sensitive to a narrow part of the electromagnetic spectrum (wavelengths between 400 and 700 nm that are called visible), and the brain, which is capable of interpreting the scenes. It is for this reason that most applications to measure external physical properties of fruits are based on this technology.
