In Japan, the grade of agricultural products is, in many cases, based on the product¡Çs
degree of bend. Because of easiness of packing and customer preference, the degree
of bend is reflected in the price of such curvature-prone vegetables as asparagus
and cucumbers. Although this property has many aspects and a machine classification
is not easily achievable, there is nevertheless an increasing demand for the automated
grading of seasonal agricultural products. In order to classify the shapes of
asparagus automatically, we applied the methods of fuzzy logic to determine the
degree of curvature and a neural network to classify shapes of our chosen product,
asparagus. Classification by this system resulted in a 93% agreement with the
results of visual classification by experts.
