Abstract

The palm oil is the most consume oil seed crop with the growing demands over it. Sime Darby Plantation had emerged the biggest producer in the world. With huge amount of palm oil production, the company a striving to achieve for better efficiency. One of the aspect that is worthwhile to be exploit is the FFB quality assessment. In order to improve the quality assessment method which is done manually, an automated system of grading the FFB is needed. The automated grading system of FFB (AGS) main purpose is to automate the picture capturing of the FFB that will be process the picture to give out the ripeness status. The novelty of the system is the determination of the ripeness of the FFB. Currently the FFB are been graded by the numbers of empty sockets, the new method is to grade the FFB by the colour of the sliced mesocarp. This method are more accurate rather than determining by the empty sockets. The methodology of the project can be divided into 3 parts, the input part, process part and the output part. Input part will deal with FFB feeding to the camera booth, the processing part will deal with the image capturing and the output part will involve the file sharing of the pictures to the data processing part.
