Abstract – India is primarily a farming nation. India grows a wide range of fruits and vegetables. India produces the second most fruit, behind China. The image processingmethodwasdevelopedbecauseitisdifficultto useaconventional method to classify thequality offruits in the industry. Automation of agriculture and related industries is essential because agriculture is the foundation of India's economy. Because the cashier must indicate the categories for each fruit in order to determine its price, it is difficult to recognize its various varietiesinsupermarkets. Theuseofbarcodeshassolved most of this problem with packaged goods; However, theseitemscannotbepre-packagedandmustbeweighed because the majority of customers prefer to select their own items. Giving codes for each organic product is one choice, however this requires a ton of retentions and could bring about evaluating botches. A booklet with pictures and codes could also be given to the cashier, but reading through it takes time. It's still hard to use computervisiontoautomaticallyclassifyfruitsbecauseof the many different characteristics of different kinds of fruits. The strategy for deciding natural product quality thatdependedontheshape,size,andshadeofthenatural product as its outside attributes. In this project, the computer vision-based method for determining fruit quality is shown. This innovation is being involved increasingly more in the organic product industry and farming. Computer vision makes it possible to conduct systematic, cost-effective, hygienic, consistent, and objective evaluations. Organic product's appearance is one significant quality trademark. Their external appearance has an effect on their internal quality in addition toinfluencingtheirmarketvalueandconsumer preferences.

II. PROBLEM STATEMENT

Variety,surface,andsizearethenecessaryqualities.Onthe procured picture, exact component pre-handling is performed. The upgrade of a picture's elements that are pivotal for ensuing handling and the concealment of bothersome twists are the essential objectives of picture handling.Thefirstofthefundamentalpre-processingsteps is to convert an RGB image to a grayscale one. The Dark picture is then exposed to picture histogram evening out. Thismakesiteasiertoadjustimageintensitiestoincrease contrast. Eliminate noise; To get rid of noise, the median filter is used; the Laplacian channel is utilized for edge identification since it centres around the area with quick

powerchanges.Thisenhanced,noise-free,filteredimageis nowreadyforfurtherprocessing.

Themain boundariesfordecidingorganicproductquality areitssurface,variety,andsize.Computervisionandimage processingmethodshavebecomeincreasinglyusefulinthe fruitindustry,particularlyforqualitydetection.Accordingto researchinthisarea,computervisionsystemscouldbeused to improve product quality. Lately, the utilization of PC visionfornaturalproductreviewhasdeveloped.Computer vision inspection systems have been enhanced with additional features as a result of the market's constant demandforhigher-qualitygoods.Inthespaceofnewitem examination,PCinnovationhasbeenusedinthefoodand horticultural enterprises. In view of its quality, it lets you know whether the natural product is fortunate or unfortunate.
