Abstract

In this paper we address the problem of potato blemish classification and localization. A large database with multiple varieties was created containing 6 classes, i.e., healthy, damaged, greening, black dot, common scab and black scurf. A Convolutional Neural Network was trained to classify face potato images and was also used as a filter to select faces where more analysis was required. Then, a combination of autoencoder and SVMs was applied on the selected images to detect damaged and greening defects in a patch-wise manner. The localization results were used to classify the potato according to the severity of the blemish. A final global evaluation of the potato was done where four face images per potato were considered to characterize the entire tuber. Experimental results show a face-wise average precision of 95% and average recall of 93%. For damaged and greening patch-wise localization, we achieve a False Positive Rate of 4.2% and 5.5% and a False Negative Rate of 14.2% and 28.1% respectively. Concerning the final potato-wise classification, we achieved in a test dataset an average precision of 92% and average recall of 91%.
