Abstract

Color chart area is automatically extracted in image that captured a crop such as fruits with the color chart, and an approximation formula is obtained for the change in feature value of the color indexes. Comparison is made with the color value of the crop area, and the growing degree is assessed according to the correlation. Using a compact PC equipped with the program, image of fruits is captured, and the output value obtained by the system is compared to the rating by expert. In the automatic recognition of the color chart out of doors, the complete color indexes is correctly acquired in 22 of 29 images. And indoors, they are correctly acquired in all of 34 images. In the color value judgment of the Japanese pear, indoors, 32 of 34 images is within 1.0 of the judgment error (compared the value read off by experts), the average error is about 0.5. These results indicate a practicable value.
