Abstract:
Dates are one of the oldest and most valuable agricultural products known in the world. Despite the long history of the production of this product, most of the activities related to harvesting and post-harvest, including grading and packing of dates, are done in the traditional way. Classification and grading in traditional methods by human labor is associated with limitations such as physical damage to the product, error, and fatigue of human labor, it is time-consuming and associated with high costs. Therefore, the development of automatic systems for date classification and grading is of particular importance. In addition to increasing economic efficiency, these systems have increased the marketability of the product by having high speed, high accuracy, and better observance of product hygiene by reducing manual intervention, and as a result, they can increase exports. Each variety of different date varieties has its own characteristics that can be valuable in identifying and determining each variety. Some of these features include shape, color, texture, size, and mass. In this article, a comprehensive review of date fruit classification and grading studies and methods using different machine learning algorithms has been done.
