IMAGE ANALYZING SYSTEM FOR EVALUATING FRUIT RIPENING DEGREE USING IMAGE ANALYSIS AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: An image analyzing system for evaluating a fruit ripening degree using image analysis and a method thereof are provided to dye starch included in flesh with KI/I2 mixed solution, using the image analysing system including an image input unit, an image analysis unit, etc., so as to promptly measure a dyed degree and evaluate the ripening degree of the fruit. CONSTITUTION: A lighting unit(30) irradiates light equally to a fruit sample(5). An image input unit(1) receives an image of the irradiated sample(5). An image analysis unit(10) connected with the image input unit(1) evaluates a ripening degree of the fruit sample(5) based on image data of the sample(5) inputted by the image input unit(1). A display unit(9) connected with an output of the image analysis unit(10) displays the evaluated ripening degree of the fruit sample(5). In the image analysis unit(10), an image analyzer(11) analyses a color degree of the image data according to pixel, to evaluate the number of all pixels and dyed pixels of the image. An image operator(13) converts the evaluated number as a starch index. And a processor(15) evaluates the ripening degree of the fruit through the converted starch index, for display.
