Abstract
Efficient locating the fruit on the tree is one of the major requirements for the fruit harvesting system. This paper presents the fruit detection using improved multiple features based algorithm. To detect the fruit, an image processing algorithm is trained for efficient feature extraction. The algorithm is designed with the aim of calculating different weights for features like intensity, color, orientation and edge of the input test image. The weights of different features represent the approximate locations of the fruit within an image. The Detection Efficiency is achieved up to 90% for different fruit image on tree, captured at different positions. The input images are the section of tree image. The proposed approach can be applied for targeting fruits for robotic fruit harvesting.
