Abstract

The detection of grapes in real scene images is a serious task solved by researches dealing with precision viticulture. Our research has shown that in the case of white wine varieties, grape berry detectors based on a support vector machine classifier in combination with a HOG descriptor are very efficient. In this paper, simplified versions of our original solutions are introduced. Our research showed that skipping contrast normalization by image preprocessing accelerates the detection process; however, the performance of the detectors is not negatively influenced by this modification.
