Sumario:Data mining is the discovery of patterns and regularities from large amounts of data using machine learning algorithms. This can be applied to object recognition using image processing techniques. In fruits and vegetables production lines, the quality assurance is done by trained people who inspect the fruits while they move in a conveyor belt, and classify them in several categories based on visual features. In this paper we present an automatic orange’s classification system, which uses visual inspection to extract features from images captured with a digital camera. With these features train several data mining algorithms which should classify the fruits in one of the three pre-established categories. The data mining algorithms used are five different decision trees (J48, Classification and Regression Tree (CART), Best First Tree, Logistic Model Tree (LMT) and Random For- est), three artificial neural networks (Multilayer Perceptron with Backpropagation, Radial Basis Function Network (RBF Network), Sequential Minimal Optimization for Support Vector Machine (SMO)) and a classification rule (1Rule). The obtained results are encouraging because of the good accuracy achieved by the clas- sifiers and the low computational costs.
