Automatic fruit classification using deep learning for industrial applications
Abstract
Fruit classification is an important task in many industrial applications. A fruit classification system may be used to help a supermarket cashier identify the fruit species and prices. It may also be used to help people decide whether specific fruit species meet their dietary requirements. In this paper, we propose an efficient framework for fruit classification using deep learning. More specifically, the framework is based on two different deep learning architectures. The first is a proposed light model of six convolutional neural network layers, whereas the second is a fine-tuned visual geometry group-16 pretrained deep learning model. Two color image datasets, one of which is publicly available, are used to evaluate the proposed framework. The first dataset (dataset 1) consists of clear fruit images, whereas the second dataset (dataset 2) contains fruit images that are challenging to classify. Classification accuracies of 99.49% and 99.75% were achieved on dataset 1 for the first and second models, respectively. On dataset 2, the first and second models obtained accuracies of 85.43% and 96.75%, respectively.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
