Abstract

This article is devoted to a study aimed at the development and thorough analysis of an algorithm and software for automatically determining the parameters of apples, based on the analysis of their images using computer vision. The methodology described in the article is based on the analysis of apple images using the OpenCV computer vision library implemented in the Python programming language. The developed algorithm allows you to automatically determine a number of key characteristics of apples, including their diameter, height, area, percentage of red color on the surface and identification of possible external defects. As part of the study, the qualitative characteristics of apples were analyzed based on their external parameters. This made it possible to develop specialized procedures for the automated determination of these parameters using image analysis. In the process of verifying the effectiveness of the technique, experiments were conducted in which the results obtained by traditional measurement methods were compared with the results obtained on the basis of an automated digital installation. The results obtained during the study confirmed the practical coincidence of the values of the diameter and height of the fetus, measured with a caliper and determined using the developed program. In addition, the developed algorithm and program make it possible to determine not only the basic parameters of apples, but also to analyze the cross-sectional area and the percentage of red color on their surface. As a result, the developed method makes it possible to significantly speed up the process of determining the parameters of apples compared to traditional manual methods, which has been proven by experimental results.
