Abstract

METODO Y APARATO PARA CLASIFICAR FRUTA GENERALMENTE ESFERICA SEGUN LAS CARACTERISTICAS DE LA SUPERFICIE, TALOS COMO EL COLOR Y LOS DEFECTOS. LA FRUTA SE DESPLAZA EN UNA SOLA FILA, PASANDO POR UNA CAMARA DE EXPLORACION, AL MISMO TIEMPO QUE SE LE HACE GIRAR ALREDEDOR DE UN EJE HORIZONTAL TRANSVERSAL. EN UNA SERIE DE EXPLORACIONES DE CADA ARTICULO DE FRUTA, SE RECOGEN DATOS SOBRE REFLECTIVIDAD EN TRES BANDAS SEPARADAS DE LONGITUD DE ONDA, Y ESTOS DATOS SON PROCESADOS PARA ELIMINAR TODOS LOS DATOS DUPLICADOS QUE RESULTEN DE LA ROTACION DE LA FRUTA. LAS SEÑALES DE RELACION CROMATICA, BASADAS EN LOS DATOS SOBRE REFLECTIVIDAD RESTANTES, SON UTILIZADAS LUEGO PARA CLASIFICAR LA FRUTA SEGUN EL COLOR DE SU SUPERFICIE Y EL GRADO DE IMPERFECCION.
