Funded Activity Summary

Precise recognition for automated harvesting and grading of strawberries. This project aims to improve automated strawberry harvesting to enable industrial harvesters to be deployed for commercial use and to lift the productivity of the Australian fruit industry. Precise recognition and grading of strawberries is a major obstacle in developing fully-automated commercial strawberry harvesting systems. Current colour-based fruit recognition techniques have intrinsic limitations in meeting the needs of automatic strawberry harvesting. This project aims to investigate high-level syntactic recognition approaches that embed high-order texture patterns of ripe fruit and hyperspectral analysis techniques to achieve partially occluded fruit recognition and grading of fruit at the level required by commercial production.
