Development of 360-degree view imaging using L*a*b* color space for fresh fruit bunch identification

The palm oil industry is well known as a significant agricultural industry in terms of economic benefit for several tropical countries, particularly in Malaysia (Yoshizaki et al., 2013). Total amount of bunches in each of the tree is an important aspect in oil palm harvesting process. In every cy...

Based from the standard planting pattern, it is a time consuming process to circle each tree to acquire the 360o view of each tree. In order to overcome this, a new method of data collection was established with the execution of All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) between rows in the plantation area for video acquisition.

description The palm oil industry is well known as a significant agricultural industry in terms of economic benefit for several tropical countries, particularly in Malaysia (Yoshizaki et al., 2013).
