Detection of green and orange color fruits in outdoor conditions for robotic applications

Abstract

Image processing techniques on digital systems which are used on agriculture can be evaluated for different aims. For instance; detection of wild herb, to estimate product, to determine ripeness and quality are some of them. The most widely used one is detection of fruits-vegetables. Particularly such image processing techniques are needed for robotic applications in agriculture. For example, identify and locating the fruit/vegetable is a major problem for the collection of fruit/vegetable by a robot. In this work, the aim is to determine the locations of orange and green color fruits, to separate from the leaves and branches in the area.
