Sorting
pineapple can be automated with use of computer vision. The unique challenge
with the pineapple slices is variability of the fruit slices color, ripeness
and texture due to varying environmental parameters and fruit types. The most
common types of pineapple fruit are smooth Caen and MD2. Currently the
pineapple industries sort the slices manually using casual workers. Before
commencement of a typical production shift, there is start-up shift where
machine are cleaned, prepared and calibrated for the production. Fruit slices
are also sampled and processed to simulated actual production. A mock sorting
is done to help guide the worker for the expected sorting for the five
categories i.e: fancy ¾, fancy ½, choice, broken and reject. To achieve a fully
automated sorting process there is a need to calibrate machine model and
capture the day to day variability of fruit color, ripeness and texture. In this
paper we propose to use an analytical method to calibrate the Support Vector
Machine (SVM) with Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) for optimal sigma and
box constraint (C). A compelling feature of the proposed algorithm is that it
does not require an optimization search, making the selection process simpler
and more computationally efficient. The proposed algorithm achieves the highest
accuracy when used with the Gaussian multiclass SVM, as demonstrated by
experimental results on three real-world datasets.
