| 520 | |a Abundance of variety of fruits is produced in most parts of the tropical countries. However, facilities for effective storage of these fruit are not readily available making them appear edible on the surface but in most casesthe quality of their tissue and juice indicatesthat they are internally defective. Present procedures for assessing fruit quality are X-ray, impedance, image analysis, laser spectroscopy, sonic, ultrasonic and reflectance spectroscopy but to date no further applications are known that have takenunique advantages of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This study, applied Magnetic resonance imagingas an effective non-destructive technique to determine the internal quality of selected tropical fruits. In this thesis, two types of tropical fruits, namely oranges and banana are considered for theirinternal tissue evaluation. Collected data using MRI equipment were Fourier transformed to obtain related MR images once the K-space has been fully assembled. The MRimages of fruit obtained from proposed image processing methods were used as features to recognize their internal quality. The variances determined and features obtained were applied to the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) code developed in MATLAB using fruit MRI intensity features as inputs. The obtained results have shown that the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LM)with Mean Square Error (MSE) and R-value of0.0814and0.9379for Orange and 0.0693 and 0.9989 for Banana fruit respectivelyproduced the best performance fitness for the assessment of internal quality of the fruits. These support the view that a combination of ANN and MRI hasthe capability of identifying the defect as well as being able to perform better than other non-destructive techniques | ||
