Development of an NIR sorting machine for detecting internal disorder and quality of apple fruit

The quality level for fresh fruits is very important for the fruit industries. In presents study an automatic online sorting system according to the internal disorder for fresh apple fruit has developed by using near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic technology. The automatic conveyer belts system along...
