Produce recognition system using data mining algorithm

Abstract

Produce recognition system is a system that can categorize types of vegetables and fruits based on features extracted from the images. However, there are numerous features that can be extracted from fruits and vegetables such as colour, texture and shape. As a result, it is effort consuming to identify suitable features ad hoc. Thus, data mining is required to discover the most discriminative features for recognition. This paper aims to extend the usage of data mining algorithm to image domain. Data mining algorithm is preferred to other feature selection algorithms because it discovers nuggets of knowledge that can be understood by human whereas classic feature selection techniques provide outputs that can only be managed by learning algorithms.
