Thus, there is a huge opportunity for classifying the fruits
for quality inspection tests from farm to consumer
delivery. Fruits must be rated according to their quality

and piles, more advanced robotic manipulators are
required. The readings from the cameras are used as
input for grading systems and image processing
techniques. The methods and procedures utilized for fruit
grading are the subjects of this review. Sorting is the
process of putting two or more items in a systematic order
