Fruit Sizing App

When Spectre, Hectre's fruit sizing technology was launched, it didn't take long before fruit warehouses began the push for colour. They told us that with colour estimation through a tool…

When the Hectre team got the call asking if Spectre could size citrus, as well as apples, the team jumped at the chance to extend Spectre's capabilities. The Hectre R&D…

Hectre's computer vision fruit sizing tool, Spectre, was in full use during the recent US apple harvest. With the ability to capture and sample approximately 125 apples per bin with…

The previously transformed apple bin images were now fed into a machine learning based object detection algorithm to fit masks and bounding boxes around individual apples within the image. Next,…

We proved that we could find apples in apple bin images and fit boxes/masks to them to output pixel measurements of the detected fruit. The next step was to devise…

Once we had proved that apples could be successfully detected using a pre-trained data-set and acquired enough custom data, a second object detector was built. Instead of making predictions based…
