Abstract

Feeding the world’s growing population requires research and development of fruit varieties that can be sustainably grown with high yields and quality and require low inputs of water and fertilizer. The process of developing new fruit varieties is data-intensive and traditionally uses manual processes that do not scale. The contribution of this work is a data analysis pipeline that automates the extraction of fruit characteristics from images and integrates multiple data sources (images, field measurements, human evaluation) to help direct the research to the most promising candidates and reduce the amount of manual time required for data collection and analysis. Initial results demonstrate that the image analysis is accurate and can be done at scale in a realworld environment.
