Light Acquisition

Light Acquisition

In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

Background:

Manual classification of vegetables and fruits leads to errors due to human subjectivity.
Accurate classification is crucial for efficient inventory management, logistics, and supply chain coordination in agriculture.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an efficient and reproducible model for classifying multiple vegetables and fruits using handcrafted features.
To address the limitations of manual classification in the agricultural supply chain.

Main Methods:

Image preprocessing including Gaussian filtering, grayscale conversion, and binarization.
Extraction of statistical texture, wavelet transform, and shape features.
Feature dimension reduction using diffusion maps and classification with five machine learning methods.

Main Results:

The Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier achieved 96.25% accuracy in vegetable and fruit classification.
The proposed method effectively reduces redundant information and improves classification performance.

Conclusions:

The novel handcrafted feature-based model significantly enhances vegetable and fruit classification accuracy.
This approach provides strong support for agricultural production and supply chain management, improving overall quality.
