Disease recognition has been huge research area nowadays because inspection of quality of fruits at an early stage prevents spreading of disease to the other areas of fruit as well as helps to reduce great economic losses in agricultural sectors and industries. Different types of diseases exist in different fruits. The focus of the present research work is on quality evaluation of apple fruit. The basic process for defect detection in fruits is basically divided into two major steps; feature extraction and classification .Feature extraction involves extracting features like color, texture and shape from fruit image. The output of this are feature vectors which are given as an input to the classifier. Finally, the classifier categorizes them into appropriate classes. The accuracy of this process depends on many factors like number of input images, method chosen for pre processing, features extracted, classifier chosen, etc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
