Fruit Image Classification Using Convolutional Neural Networks

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) are the most popular class of models for image recognition and classification task nowadays. Most of the superstores and fruit vendors resort to human inspection to check the quality of the fruits stored in their inventory. However, this process can be automated. We propose a system that can be trained with a fruit image dataset and then detect whether a fruit is rotten or fresh from an input image. We built the initial model using the Inception V3 model and trained with our dataset applying transfer learning.
