Using different color spaces in mechanical inspection of fruits and vegetables

Abstract

This paper presents the significant elements of a computer vision system and emphasises the important aspects of the image processing technique coupled with a review of the most recent developments throughout the food industry. Recently automatic inspection systems, mainly based on camera-computer technology have been investigated for the sensory analysis of agricultural and food products. This system known as computer vision has proven to be successful for objective measurement of various agricultural and food products. Computer vision is the construction of explicit and meaningful descriptions of physical objects from images. This review presents the recent developments and applications of image analysis in the food industry, the basic concepts and technologies associated with computer vision.
