The aim is to build an accurate, fast and reliable fruit detection system, which

is a vital element of an autonomous agricultural robotic platform; it is a key element for fruit

yield estimation and automated harvesting.

We present approaches for a vision-based fruit detection system that can perform up to a 0.83 F1

score with a field farm dataset, maintaining fast detection and a low burden for ground truth

annotation. This is a competitive result compared to our previous pixel-based detector of 0.80.
We also

demonstrated qualitative results to show how well the trained model using a small dataset
generalises

to entirely independent (unseen) environments.

In developing this system, we performed fine-tuning of the VGG16 network based on

the pre-trained ImageNet model. The novel use of RGB and NIR multi-modal information

within early and late fusion networks provides improvements over a single DCNN. Furthermore,

we investigated the performance of region proposal networks to narrow down a possible

bottleneck of

performance degradation. Our findings are returned to the relevant communities through an open

dataset and tutorial documentation.

Future work involves the integration of the proposed algorithm with our custom-built harvesting

robot and the collection of an enormous amount of ground truth annotations for a variety of

fruits by utilising Amazon Mechanical Turk or other out-sourcing supplies to achieve more

accurate performance.

Skilled robots are being used for fruit harvesting in farms, this helps in reduction of man power
and to increase the speed of work. The main part in robot harvesting is detection of the fruit , if

robot cannot detect the correct fruit it cannot do the estimated work. So fruit detection is one

part of robot harvesting and we will use Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) to

develop fruit classifier. So here we will develop Fruits classifier that will classify the fruits

present in an image and will predict the percentage if there is no fruit in that image.

Health is one the most vital aspects that is of greater concern to most of the human beings at
present days. To keep people healthier they intake a lot of fruits which contains more amount of
nutrition and helps them to remain fit. Health benefits are provided with the intake of fruits and
people who regularly intake fruits are expected to have minimized risk of chronic diseases. The
Nutrients provided by the fruits are vital for proper maintenance of the body. But those fruits
nowadays are ripened through some artificial means like usage of chemicals like calcium carbide
as ripening agent which might even cause cancer. Important news that flashes during the mango
seasons in television is that the fruit markets contain an artificially ripened fruit which is
extremely hazardous to health. Artificial ripening of mangoes using calcium carbide was the
important fact that was being displayed in the news. Despite repeated warnings, raids and
seizures, chemically ripened fruits are flooding the market. According to health officials, the
consumption of mangoes ripened using calcium carbide leads to various harmful effects like
vomiting, diarrhoea, ulcers of throat and abdomen, general weakness, and sometimes damage of
eye permanently and breathing shortness. To avoid such ill effects the consumers have to be
careful in buying the mangoes, find out the artificially ripened mangoes. Finding out the
artificially ripened fruits is difficult with human eye observation. To aid the detection we have
developed a device which uses image processing to find the artificially ripened mangoes. The
proposed device gets an input image of mango under test and compares the features (histogram
values) with a naturally ripened one and detects fruits which are ripened artificially. This method
makes usage of the Smartphone which runs android application that is installed in it and the
image processing is executed to detect the artificially ripened fruits. The proposed system has an
efficiency of 91% in the identification of the fruits ripened artificially.

Fruit-Freshness-Detection
The project uses OpenCV for image processing to determine the ripeness of a fruit.

Running
A camera is connected to the device running the program.The camera faces a white background and a
fruit. The program is executed and the ripeness is obtained. The ripeness is calculated based on simple
threshold limits set by the programmer for te particular fruit.

Possible Improvements:
 Detecing multiple fruits in an image and labelling each with ripeness index
 Support for different kinds of fruits with a computer vision model to determine type of fruit
 Determining fruit quality fromthe image by detecting damage on fruit surface

Deep Feature Clustering

Clustering Fruits 360 dataset with deep feature extraction.

Fruit Classifier(Smart Farming)

Description
 This model is developed from scratch using Convolutonal Neural Network with Training accuracy
of 99.47% and Testing accuracy of 97.68%.
 Fruit Classifier model is developed as a part of Udacity Machine Learning Advanced Nanodegree
Course.
 This project is inspired by topic of use of robots for farming, which I found really the need of
time.
 Please feel free to give suggestions for improving Model.

proposed project work. } Font size 12

In this project, we will provide an image to the model and it will predict the fruit present. The

project will be using Conventional Neural Network. And it can be directly linked to an webpage

and used to predict the fruits present. The project is referenced from Kaggle, it has 81 types of

fruit images.
