Abstract

Post harvest quality evaluation processes are very important operations and play a significant role in determining the acceptability and marketability of the product. Computer vision and image processing technology has been applied wildly in food industries in order to evaluate the quality of agricultural products such as; sorting, grading, and classification processes due to the performance, low cost, and effectiveness of the technology. In this article, we aim to review to application of computer vision and image processing technology in evaluating the quality of agricultural products representing in; application of this technology in evaluation the quality of fruits, vegetables, and nut products with more attention to hazelnut product.

Keywords

Hazelnut quality, Fruit and vegetables, Defect detection, Machine vision
