Experimental study on the automatic selection of olives

In this paper, we made an experimental stand designed to recognize and sort all three types of olives taking into consideration color (black and green), regardless of their dimensions. The stand is intended for small businesses, as it is well-known that in Greece most olive orchards are in the range of hundreds of square meters, or maximum in the 1-2-hectare range, and of the modern traditional type, as shown in other papers written by Babanatsas and Glavan [1-2]. Therefore, an inexpensive and efficient piece of equipment designed for this type of orchards is welcome.
