Volume measurement of mango by using 2D ellipse model

This paper presents the volume measurement system for mango. Since mango is a fruit that has smooth surface with mostly symmetry shape, we propose to employ two views as input data in order to obtain the volume. The experiments on 30 mangoes in general size showed the root mean squared (RMS) error of volume is 2.098% and 8.420% of the mangoes in dwarf size and high concave-shape. The estimated value strongly agreed with the actual volume. © 2004 IEEE.
