Abstract

The paper reports design and fabrication of a low-cost solution for monitoring food quality. Owing to its widespread popularity worldwide for regular food item, potato has been chosen as an object to be classified according to quality features such as size, shape, surface texture, and color. The system design includes classifier design for potato detection, ROI segregation, and analysis of certain statistical parameter. For the present study, potatoes have been classified as grade-1 and grade-2. Grade-1 potatoes are those which have to be retained while grade-2 potatoes have to be discarded. ARM-based embedded platform has been chosen for implementation. The system performance meets the required specifications.
