Abstract

The article discusses the justification of methods and algorithms for determining the quality indicators of apples using machine vision for further sorting them into categories. The main quality indicators according to the standards are its appearance (color), size (magnitude), weight and shape.

To study the operability of the algorithm and the program for obtaining and processing images, as well as calculating its characteristic features for evaluating quality indicators, an experimental automated installation (AU) was developed and manufactured, the main components of which are an optical camera, a strain gauge sensor and a Raspberry Pi4 microcomputer on the basis of which this installation was created.

As a result of the research, it was found that the most modern and relevant solution is to determine the basic quality standards by automating the sorting process using optoelectronic methods, namely using machine vision tools.

The results of statistical processing showed that the values of the diameters during manual measurement and measurement on the AU slightly differ, the values of the mass of apples during manual weighing on the scales and measured on the AU by an automated method practically coincide, the relative error does not exceed 0.8%. The great advantage of using machine vision in determining the quality indicators of apples is that there is a more accurate way to determine the proportion of the color of apples, and this indicator is one of the most important quality indicators that affects the selling value.
