Starfruit Image Segmentation Based on YCbCr Color Space

Abstract

Segmentation in a classification system plays an important role as it will determine the region of interest for the classification. In this work, the segmentation of star fruit is performed in YCbCr color space. Because of the background of the image to be classify has 2 different colors, which are black and white, the segmentation is obtained using a fixed threshold value for the Cb component. This is because the value for Cb is equivalent in black, white or gray scale pixels. By fixing the threshold for Cb component, the region of interest (ROI) can easily be determined and then proceeded to the classification process. The results in this paper show that the ROI can be determined completely by this method.
