Abstract—Sorting and Classification of mango, there are
different colors, weights, sizes, shapes and densities. Currently,
classification based on the above features is being carried out
mainly by manuals due to farmers' awareness of low accuracy,
high costs, health effects and high costs, costly economically
inferior. The internal quality of the mango such as sweetness,
hardness, age, brittleness... is very important but is only
estimated by external or human-perceived evaluation.
Therefore, it is necessary to use artificial neural networks to
solve this problem. This study was conducted on three main
commercial mango species of Vietnam to find out the method
of classification of mango with the best quality and accuracy.
World studies of mango classification according to color, size,
volume and almost done in the laboratory but not yet applied
in practice. The quality assessment of mango fruit has not been
resolved. Application of image processing technology,
computer vision combined with artificial intelligence in the
problem of mango classification or poor quality. The goal of
the study is to create a system that can classify mangoes in
terms of color, volume, size, shape and fruit density. The
classification system using image processing incorporates
artificial intelligence including the use of CCD cameras, C
language programming, computer vision and artificial neural
networks. The system uses the captured mango image,
processing the split layer to determine the mass, volume and
defect on the mango fruit surface. Especially, determine the
density of mangoes related to its maturity and sweetness and
determine the percentage of mango defects to determine the
quality of mangoes for export and domestic or recycled
mangoes.
Keywords-the classification of mango; sorting of mangoes;
image processing technology; artificial intelligence; computer
vision; artificial neural networks.
I. INTRODUCTION
The process of grading mango in Vietnam and the world
is being carried out mainly by the direct labor of farmers. In
the process of surveying and accessing some agricultural
classification systems, the mango classification system on the
market is not available in Vietnam. So achieving low
productivity, increasing costs. Surveying some of the
currently used automatic or semi-automatic agricultural
classification systems can be designed and made into a
mango classification system. Research and application of
high-tech machinery in the process of producing agricultural
products on the one hand reduce human labor, reduce costs,
and otherwise meet high standards of food safety and
hygiene in Processing in fastidious markets requires high
quality.
The proportion of fruit is considered as a mature indicator
of mango fruit. The ripe fruit is submerged in the water while
the fruit is alive. Fruit with density greater than 1.00 are
submerged in water due to high content of dry matter in the
fruit, while fruits with density less than 1.00 are floating in
the water.
The fruit size index = (wide * thick) / long)
on Cat Hoa Loc mango (Vietnam) is strongly correlated
with fruit density. Similarly, fruit density, dry matter weight
and sugar content are correlated but not correlated with
neutralizing acid. Analysis of quality criteria: Brix, dry
weight, sugar content, starch content of live fruit, hardness
measurement, density, color, fruit weight, sugar content, pH
of fruit flesh to determine determine the best quality of
mango.
Mango is a very sensitive agricultural product and can
easily appear brown spots after being crushed during post-
harvest handling, transportation and marketing. Testing of
the fruit of this fruit used today cannot detect lesions at an
early stage of adulthood and so far no automated tools are
able to detect; studying the approaches and techniques to
assess the quality of mango fruit, checking the surface of
mango fruit with deep, wilting, spongy, deformed mangoes,
ripening on mango fruit; application of image processing
technology, computer vision combined with artificial
