In the resultant object reference length is 131609
pixels for a large number of pixels and 62217 pixels
for a small number of pixels. In the original
measurement of the size of a large mango fruit weight
is 438 grams and the small size of the original
measurement mango fruit is 207 grams. so the
reference pixels per gram is as follows.

does not show any pattern. This gave
confidence regarding the normal distribution
of the data. As a result, it suggests that
assumptions are fulfilled.
The plot also can be used to observe
the outliers or erroneous problem. The
result from the plot showed that there are
no extremely large residuals (and hence no
apparent outliers) and that there is no trend
in the residuals to indicate the linear model
is inappropriate.

The verification results of the
developed linear model by using 30 mangoes
of evaluate set are given in Table The
a mango weight using In the resultant object
reference length is 131609 pixels for a large number
of pixels and 62217 pixels for a small number of
pixels. In the original measurement of the size of a
large mango fruit weight is 438 grams and the small
size of the original measurement mango fruit is 207
grams.Thus, weight of mango can be
estimated with a high degree of accuracy by
image processing and analysis techniques.
Conclusion
Measurements of the weight of Chokanan
mangoes can be accomplished using the
image processing and analysis techniques.
The results showed that image filtering
and image thresholding are providing a
simple and effective means smoothing and
segmenting the mango image. Mango pixels
Table 1 shows the results of the weight
measurement for all 30 mangoes in
reference set and the weights ranged from
207 to 438 g. Mean () and standard
deviation (s) of the 30 samples data were the process
of converting pixels to grams of objects that will be
the greatest distance calculated results and the
smallest distance . the distance is the ratio between
the number of pixels the object with reference
number of pixels a grams by the following equations.
The present work has achieved the
first phase of using image processing and
analysis technique to determine weight of
Chokanan mangoes. It is recommended that
further research to develop a machine vision
system that utilizes the above developed
linear model for grading size of mangoes
automatically be given emphasis.
