Development of Fruit Grading System Based on Image Recognition

Abstract

Due to advances in information and communication technology, smart agriculture has begun to develop. Taiwan’s aging population has led to a decline in the agricultural population. Therefore, the development of smart agriculture is important. This paper considers the needs of Taiwan’s small and medium-sized farming models and develops an automatic fruit grading system based on image recognition. The system includes three units of the transmission mechanism, identification host, and database. The transmission mechanism transports fruits to the bottom of the camera for grading; the identification host uses STM32F746 as the core and integrates the OV9655 and other peripherals to locate the fruits on the transport mechanism for classification. Through the above integration, the automation of fruit grading can be improved, and the impact of the aging agricultural population can be reduced.
