Abstract

Determination of fruit features such as weight, level of maturity and level of spots is an essential step to fulfill export requirements. This paper presents a methodology to estimate these characteristics from a set of images obtained from mango fruits. The methods for determining the level of maturity and level of spots showed an overall accuracy above 90%, while the error margin for the weight determination process did not exceed 6 grams.
