Abstract

In Malaysia, agriculture activities are the major sector that provides importance to the entire human beings especially in the food industry. Most of the researchers have done research in agriculture every day to aim for development in quality, productivity and limiting probability of human error. Malaysia is categorized as the largest producer and exporter of oil palm globally. In order to increase the productivity of palm oil fruits, various machine-vision techniques and mechanization systems can be applied. This is to reduce the human labor of picking the crops by simply using sickles. The labor shortage problems can be minimized as not many labors are willing to do the hard job while the salary is not reasonable. Therefore, the idea of this project is to create a system for a machine to pick and place the crops using an automated bot mounted at the truck with the aid of live feed camera. As early steps, a system of oil palm FFB detection is being created using two algorithms of image processing, YOLO and Tensorflow Object Detection API. The performance of both algorithms are then determined in terms of confidence level and speed to process the image in three different parameters. Then, a study of how the camera computes the distance of detected oil palm FFB from the camera is done in this project. Throughout this project, it can be deduced that YOLO provides higher speed while Tensorflow performs better accuracy in detecting the oil palm FFB. A concept to compute the distance between camera and the respective oil palm fruit is proposed in this research for future work application and experiment.
