MORENO BERMUDEZ, dolfo; BALLESTEROS PADILLA, Deimer  and  SANCHEZ TORRES, Germán. Image analysis for automatic feature estimation of the Mangifera indica fruit. Ing. Desarro. [online]. 2013, vol.31, n.1, pp.84-104. ISSN 0122-3461.

Determination of fruit features such as weight, level of maturity and level of spots is an essential step to fulfill export requirements. This paper presents a methodology to estimate these characteristics from a set of images obtained from mango fruits. The methods for determining the level of maturity and level of spots showed an overall accuracy above 90%, while the error margin for the weight determination process did not exceed 6 grams.

Keywords : Degree of maturity; Mangifera indica L; spot detection; weight estimation.
