Detection of early Defects of Apple Based on the Image Fusion

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new detecting method for apples’ early defects which was based on the image fusion of infrared and visible images was introduced in order to distinguish and separate the fruits with mechanical damage. Using apple as the research object, the basic detecting process was expounded, and the process of image registration was introduced emphatically. An improved algorithm of image fusion, which was based on wavelet transform, was proposed. Then the experimental result was provided as well as the objective evaluation for it.
