Automatic classification of fruit defects based on Co-occurrence matrix and neural networks

Abstract

Nowadays the effective and fast detection of fruit defects is one of the main concerns for fruit selling companies. This paper presents a new approach that classifies fruit surface defects in color and texture using Radial Basis Probabilistic Neural Networks (RBPNN). The texture and gray features of defect area are extracted by computing a gray level co-occurrence matrix and then defect areas are classified by the applied RBPNN solution.
