Abstract
DURING the 1985 to 1986 citrus season in Florida, an automatic weight and dimensional sizer was used to differentiate freeze-damaged fruit based on density. The volume was computed from a digitized video camera image of the fruit as it traveled in a cup conveyor and the weight of the fruit was obtained from a load cell supporting an individual cup. Sorting errors on the weight/dimensional sizing unit were compared to a commercial process using hydrodynamic separation. Error rates ranged from 8.6 to 18.3% (weight/dimensional) and from 3.2 to 16.3% (hydrodynamic). Sources of error, specifically camera resolution and the equation for volume calculation, were analyzed.
