Abstract

Fruit Categorization is a classification problem that the agricultural fruit industry needs to solve in order to reduce the post-harvesting losses that occur during the traditional system of manual grading. Fruit grading which involves categorization is an important step in obtaining high fruit quality and market demand. There are various feature selection challenges in agriculture produced especially fruit grading to build an appropriate machine learning approach to solve the problem of reducing losses. In this paper, we describe different features, a machine learning technique that has been recently applied to different fruit classification problems producing a promising result. We discuss the feature extraction method, technique used in image classification applications for fruit prediction. A proposed multiclass fruit classification model is theoretically described and their most distinguishing features and technique is then presented at the end of this paper.
