ARDUINO BASED TOMATO RIPENING STAGES MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract

Tomatoes are the best-known fruit in green-houses. The ripening process of the tomato comprise of varies stages in which tomato mature. There is the particular pattern in which process of ripening of tomato take place. In this project, the algorithm for monitoring varies ripening stages of the tomato using simple Arduino based system which will predict and display the complete process according to the color changes in tomato was proposed. Using the acquired image, the mean of L*a*b color space values of tomato w processed by the MATLAB and information send to the Arduino microcontroller serially, which tells the color of tomato and the message informing color of the tomato to farmer using GSM module as well as to specific mail-id.
