Abstract


The use of technology in terms of improving the production processes of the agro-industry, is increasing significantly. This paper presents the results of the design of an algorithm based on image processing and artificial intelligence for segmenting fruits of Mangifera Indica, with the purpose to establish the shape, the degree of maturity based on color and to estimate the fruit size. This work can be used as a support tool for the agriculturists, for the management of harvest in the crops. Algorithm results allow to determine the condition of the fruit in the harvesting process, helping agriculturist to improve crop productivity.
