Using machine learning techniques for evaluating tomato ripeness

作者:

Highlights:

• Egypt occupied the fifth place in both income and weight of tomato production.

• We proposed an automated multi-class classification approach for tomato ripeness stages.

• Performance of classification algorithms depends on statistics of the experimented dataset.

• Training and testing datasets have been generated via employing the 10-fold cross validation.

• Using OAO multi-class SVMs with linear kernel function outperformed other algorithms.
