Abstract

This paper addresses the image recognition problem in apple-picking robots and proposes a high-precision, low-cost apple feature recognition model to improve efficiency and accuracy. First, based on object detection algorithms, the study develops an apple contour recognition model using morphological methods, alongside a K-means clustering model for data analysis. These models are used to determine the approximate spatial distribution of apple positions and classify apple maturity levels. Second, by integrating apple contour recognition with numerical simulation optimization techniques, the distribution range of apple quality is estimated. Finally, simulation experiments conducted on a given dataset demonstrate that the identified apple positions, maturity, and calculated quality align closely with empirical data, validating the model's effectiveness.
