ABSTRACT

Aim at the identification of Lingwu dates in the natural environment, a method for image segmentation based on BP neural network was put forward. After compressing the collected images, color feature of dates was analyzed in color spaces to select apposite color spaces and their components for recognition. And finally,the BP neural network was used to identify Lingwu dates. Experimental results indicate that, identification of Lingwu dates based on BP neural network with RGB color space and R-G component is higher than using other color spaces’ components. Therefore, this method is applied to the identification of Lingwu dates.
