dc.description.abstractMangosteen is a high-value tropical fruit widely consumed and exported from Thailand. Mangosteen ripeness classification is crucial for export quality control, but manual grading leads to inconsistency and inefficiency. This study presents a computer vision system using an Artificial neural network to classify mangosteen into ripe, semi-ripe, and unripe stages based on peel color. A dataset of 378 images was collected and processed to extract 40 color-based features across multiple color spaces. Principal Component Analysis demonstrated non-linear separability among the ripeness classes. SMOTE and Gaussian noise augmentation were used to tackle data imbalance and enhance generalizability. The model reached a 95% accuracy rate and displayed flawless precision and recall for the ripe class. Integrated Gradients analysis highlighted the importance of the red-green color component (CIELAB a*) in the classification process. The proposed method demonstrates a low-cost, interpretable, and efficient solution suitable for real-world application in the mangosteen export industry.
