This paper describes the development of a system for evaluating the quality of coffee focused on the pre-processing of digital images using an algorithm based on the retinex theory called multi-scale retinex with color restoration (MSRCR). A dataset of images of coffee beans are collected and others techniques for image enhancement are compared, then a color gray-level coocurrence matrix (CGLCM) technique is used for features extraction and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to evaluate results with a set of prepared data, these results shows a good visual quality and better accuracy in classification for MSRCR techniques compared with others, finally conclusions and future works are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
