Automatic Recognition of Ripening Tomatoes by Combining Multi-Feature Fusion with a Bi-Layer Classification Strategy for Harvesting Robots
Automatic recognition of ripening tomatoes is a main hurdle precluding the replacement of manual labour by robotic harvesting.In this paper, we present a novel automatic algorithm for recognition of ripening tomatoes using an improved method that combines multiple features, feature analysis and selection, a weighted relevance vector machine (RVM) c
