The kingdom of Saudi Arabia produces almost 400 varieties, is the largest producer of dates in the worlds in dates fruit industries. The date’s industries have facing problems in date grading and sorting during harvesting and agriculture products industries. Since human experts have some limitations such as tedious and timing delay consuming the processing delay as a result of date products costly. The computer vision algorithms are used to reduce the powers of mankind by automatically detect and classify an image. The main aim of the computer vision-based algorithms for data fruits grading and sorting is to make the procedure fully automated and reduce human interference. The computer vision algorithm uses RGB pictures, which automatically abstracts the aforesaid exterior date class arrangements. Based on the extracted algorithms, the proposed vision-based machine automatically classifies dates into three different quality based categories (class A, B, and C) defined by the user. The paper studied the accuracy of the computer vision-based algorithm based on pre-selected date fruits samples from different field in Al-Qassim, Sudi Arabia. The experimental grades classification illustrated that the proposed algorithm is able to sort the date’s fruits up to 99% precisely.
