Turmeric Rhizome’s Colour, Size and Edge based Approach for Identification of Variety

Manjula R Chougala, Ramachandra A C

Abstract


Digital Image Processing (DIP) based identification method helps in reducing the manual inspection and provides the greater accuracy with the fast processing. Turmeric rhizomes identification based on some important morphological features extracted from the images is carried out with image processing methods. Different types of turmeric exhibit diverse physical and morphological properties. This paper presents an approach where the turmeric rhizomes are identified and classified based on its features such as colour, shape and size. Experimental analysis was conducted with few species such as Nizamabad, Salem, Erode and Rajapuri. The external features-based identification in the proposed methodology is simple and an efficient in identifying the species.
