Apple Sweetness Measurement by image processing technique

Abstract

This research paper developed a system which allows users to determine the sweetness level of apples by using an image of the flesh part of the apple. The system, developed based with MATLAB, consists of four main modules, namely - 1) Image Acquisition, 2) Image Preprocessing, 3) Sweetness Determination, and 4) Result Determination. Two color spaces are utilized as the judging criteria of this paper, which are RGB and HSV color spaces. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used as the main technique of sweetness determination. The average result of this implementation is a sweetness level of 79.03%.
