Classification of oranges by maturity, using image processing techniques

This project pretends to apply image processing techniques to identify the degree of maturity in oranges identifying physical characteristics that determine fruit maturity and thus obtain a proper classification system, using benchmarks, complying with the standard CODEX where the quality criteria of the commercial varieties of oranges are specified. For the development of this project will be used a camera image sensor and a means of acquiring information, the image processing will be developed in the Matlab software using image processing techniques for RGB parameters that can be used to perform characterization of maturity of oranges, conditioning of the image being carried out by pre - processing the image applying filters to control lighting and shadows that may affect the image analysis.
