1A2-B15 Trial manufacture of mobile citrus fruit grading machine for information of the citrus fruit production

Year: 2009

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Although container conveyer or monorail system has been introduced in Japanese citrus orchards, a measurement system to assign information to fruits, trees, and orchards is desirable. Recently some mobile fruit grading machines for sweet peppers and eggplants were reported for precision agriculture. In this research, a mobile citrus fruit grading machine was manufactured. The machine can collect all fruits information of color, size, shape, and sugar content and others, because a machine vision system and an NIR inspection sensor were installed. A GPS to obtain its location could help make orchard maps of the information for precise farming operations.
