Coconut cultivation is one of the necessitate agricultural activity in the world. The regular plucking of coconuts, which is done manually to a large extent, requires specialized labours. It is a tedious process, in order to overcome the shortcomings, image processing based coconut harvesting system is incorporated systematically. The coconut image is captured from real time and given to the system. By using the image processing algorithm the maturity of the coconut is discovered for reaping. Image processing code is implemented with the ARM11 based Raspberry Pi using Linux OS. Using an IP based wireless colour camera the coconut image is captured. Using the binary colour feature extraction, the colour of the coconut husk is taken and distinguished between different ripeness levels of the coconut. These processes can be quickly performed by the system to identify the maturity level of the coconut. Finally the development board is interfaced with the coconut harvesting robot to do harvesting process using wireless control.

INTRODUCTION At present, there is a shortage of labour in the agriculture sector and hence, machines have really helping a lot of farmers. The production of various agricultural commodities like coconut, mango, rice, wheat and so on are identified manually that it has time to reap. Sociocultural compulsions made crops like coconut, economically viable for the planters. The standard plucking of coconuts and spraying of pesticides to coconut trees, which is done manually to a large extent, requires specialized labours. This activity is traditionally carried out by the socio-economically backward communities, where men are trained in the skill of climbing trees rapidly and plucking the coconuts or spraying pesticides. These communities are distributed wherever coconut trees are cultivated in large number as coconut plantations. The traditional manual harvesting method for coconut is very labour intensive. The manual harvesting method is shown in the Fig 1. Fig 1. Manual Plucking of Coconuts. In this situation our society needs a coconut plucking robot with vision system guide to discover the maturity of the coconut for harvesting. By a coconut plucking robot we mean of a device consisting of an automatic vision system and hand-held remote and a display on the ground, a climbing bottom portion, a robotic arm and a camera mounted over the cutting section.
