Abstract

In our daily lives we often assess our surroundings to classify the situations we encounter. We do so based on the observations we make of our surroundings and information we obtain from other sources, using our knowledge and abilities. While this process is natural to us, if we want to give a similar task to a computer system then we have to take various steps in order to enable our computers to partially emulate the human capacity for observation, learning and making final decisions based on knowledge. As information complexity increases, there is an increasing demand for systems which can recognize and classify the objects presented to them. Recently there has been an increase in interest in application of computer image analysis in various research areas. One of these applications is food quality assessment, which aims to replace traditional instrumental methods. A computer visual system was developed to assess carrot quality, based on a single variety. Characteristic qualities of the variety were chosen to describe a suitable root. In the course of the study, digital photographs of carrot roots were taken, which were used as input data for the assessment performed by a dedicated computer program created as a part of the study.
