(1) the lower computer divides the three-channel color image acquired by the camera 1 into R, G, B single-channel monochromatic images, converts the three monochromatic images into HSV color space, and extracts green plums from the original image after S channel component extraction, Gaussian filtering, feature extraction and division on the converted image;
(2) extracting a defect image from a single-channel gray image of the green plums by a threshold segmentation method according to the gray value difference of the surface defect characteristics of the green plums;
(3) extracting six characteristic parameters of the defect image: r, G, B color component values, defect roundness, squareness, and closeness;
(4) establishing a Gaussian mixture model according to six characteristic parameters of the defect image sample;
(5) inputting six characteristic parameters in a defect image to be detected into a Gaussian mixture model for matching, and completing defect identification and classification;

(b) when the green plums enter the first-stage sorting device 7 through the conveyor belt 4, the camera 1 works and sends images to the lower computer, and the lower computer sequentially carries out defect identification and classification on the green plums according to a green plum defect detection method and positions the positions of the green plums in the images (the positioning method is the prior art);
(c) the lower computer transmits the defect identification classification result (ulceration, scar and deep processing) and the positioning information to the upper computer;
(d) the upper computer marks the defect identification classification result (ulceration, scar and deep processing) and the positioning information as labels on each corresponding green plum with weight information, and each green plum at the moment has three types of information of weight, classification result and positioning;
(e) the upper computer transmits the defect identification classification result, the positioning information and the weight information of each green plum to the lower computer, the lower computer controls a first steering engine 7-12 or a fourth steering engine 7-1 according to the positioning information transferred by the upper computer and the movement speed of the conveyor belt 4, further controls the direction of the air blowing devices (the direction is selected to be the optimal position of the two air blowing devices selected according to the positions of the green plums needing to be air-blown), air-blows the green plums with defects (namely the green plums with festers and scars) (the two air blowing devices do not work simultaneously and are prevented from interfering with each other), and blows the green plums into the left fruit receiving basket 2 or the right fruit receiving basket 6 on the two sides of the conveyor belt 4;
(f) while blowing air, the lower computer controls a second steering engine 7-8 and a third steering engine 7-5 according to the weight information of the green plums placed downwards by the upper computer, and further controls a second partition plate 7-9 and a third partition plate 7-4 to turn respectively so as to adjust the conveying direction of the green plums without defects (namely the deep-processed green plums) on the conveying belt 4, and the green plums are conveyed into a second-stage sorting device 8 under the driving of the conveying belt 4;

Specifically, the present embodiment can classify the green plums into festers, scars, and the like according to their surface defect characteristics. The biggest difference between the defect part and the normal surface is the difference in surface color, the color of the defect part is mostly brownish or even black, the gray value of the defect part can be inferred to be low, the gray value of the normal surface is high, and the defect is extracted from a single-channel gray image through threshold segmentation by utilizing the difference.
After channel decomposition, gray level binarization and other operations are performed on the green plum image, the embodiment finds that after the image of six color channel (R, G, B, H, S, V) components of the green plum fruit is subjected to threshold segmentation, because the shape, size, color and other characteristics of each defect are different, it is difficult to adopt a uniform extraction standard to extract the defect from the image subjected to threshold segmentation, and the green plum defect detection work becomes complicated.
In the embodiment, the edge detection method is adopted to detect the edge of the green plum fruit and expand the edge by multiple times to be used as a mask area, and the area covered by the mask is removed from the image after the H channel threshold segmentation, so that a defect area is left. Performing defect detection on the green plums containing festers and scars by adopting an edge method, wherein the area of the fester defect is large, and the proportion of the fester defect in the total area of the fruits is large; many raindrops are spots (the green plums with raindrops detected in this embodiment are also regarded as deep-processable green plums), and the number of raindrops is large and the area occupied by isolated spots is small. In addition, the colors of the peels corresponding to the fester, the scar and the raindrop are different from each other according to the corresponding color images of the fruits.
The Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) classification process is: the gaussian mixture model is used to classify the intersections in the region of interest, and the following 6 features are extracted to establish the gaussian mixture model. Through comparison of three defects of green plum fruits, the color of the peel corresponding to each defect is different, and the shape and size characteristics are also different, so that R, G, B color component values, defect roundness, rectangle degree and compactness of the green plum fruit defect are determined to be adopted as input signals of a Gaussian mixture model, and the output signals are fester, scar, raindrop and intact green plum.
The detection accuracy rate of the green plums with the defect characteristic of ulceration is 100%, the detection accuracy rate of the green plums with the scar defect is 97.22%, the detection accuracy rate of the green plums with the defect characteristic of raindrop is 92.31%, and the detection accuracy rate of the intact green plums is 94.44%.
The scope of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the above embodiments, and the present invention is defined by the appended claims, and any alterations, modifications, and improvements that may occur to those skilled in the art are all within the scope of the present invention.
