JUSTIFICATION OF THE METHOD AND ALGORITHM FOR DETERMINING THE QUALITY INDICATORS OF APPLES AND AUTOMATICALLY SORTING THEM INTO CATEGORIES
Abstract The article is based on the methods and algorithm for determining the quality indicators of apples and their automatic sorting by category.The main quality indicators are according to GOST 34314-2017 include: appearance, size, smell, taste and permissible deviations.
In various older samples,the types of working methods and algorithms for sorting structures were considered, including mechanical sorting, which determines the size by calibration, or sorting by weight, which determines the weight of apples using weights.
As a result of the research, the opto-electronic method is the most modern and correct solution, in particular, the determination of basic quality standards by automating the sorting process using an image capture device.
The opto-electronic method is used for optical sorting of fruits by color characteristics, as a result of which various color impurities are removed from the products. The optical sorter allows you to remove damaged and poor-quality products.
