Sporlederl The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) grading system for fruits and vegetables. has a long-established system for fruit and From this description, we generate some vegetable grades (USDA, Agriculture generic components of the current federal Marketing Service(AMS) 1990). A primary grade standards and discuss the potential purpose of federal commodity grades is to for adding nutrient attributes and the facilitate the wholesale exchange by relationship between sensory and nutrient allowing sale by description rather than by attributes.

  • Deep Learning and Machine Vision for Food Processing: a Survey Lili Zhua, Petros Spachosa,∗, Erica Pensinia and Konstantinos N
    Deep Learning and Machine Vision for Food Processing: A Survey Lili Zhua, Petros Spachosa,∗, Erica Pensinia and Konstantinos N. Plataniotisb a School of Engineering, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON N1G 2W1, Canada b Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON M5S 3G4, Canada Abstract The quality and safety of food is an important issue to the whole society, since it is at the basis of human health, social development and stability. Ensuring food quality and safety is a complex process, and all stages of food processing must be considered, from cultivating, harvesting and storage to preparation and consumption. However, these processes are often labour-intensive. Nowadays, the development of machine vision can greatly assist researchers and industries in improving the efficiency of food processing. As a result, machine vision has been widely used in all aspects of food processing. At the same time, image processing is an important component of machine vision. Image processing can take advantage of machine learning and deep learning models to effectively identify the type and quality of food. Subsequently, follow-up design in the machine vision system can address tasks such as food grading, detecting locations of defective spots or foreign objects, and removing impurities. In this paper, we provide an overview on the traditional machine learning and deep learning methods, as well as the machine vision techniques that can be applied to the field of food processing. We present the current approaches and challenges, and the future trends. Keywords: Food Processing; Machine Vision; Image Processing; Machine Learning; Deep Learning 1.
