Abstract

The ripeness of the farm-able palm fruits is an important factor in the production of quality palm oil. The work presented is an image processing implementation in the palm oil industry to eliminate human errors in the judgment of the ripeness of palm fruit bunches as well as to introduce automation. Various techniques were employed to obtain data from the images provided for the data mining process. The features used are the colour of the palm fruit bunches and the amount of edges representing visible leaves in the palm fruit bunches, indicating empty sockets. The project is able to achieve an accuracy of up to 79.11%.
