A New Approach for Estimation of Physical Properties of Irregular Shape Fruit by Hieu M. Tran, Kien T. Pham, Thanh M. Vo, Tat-Hien Le, Tri T. M. Huynh, Son Vu Truong Dao

“…In the next phase, the density is used to estimate the mass of starfruit since the correlation coefficient (R-squared) between the volume and mass of starfruit is nearly linear with 0.9205. The validated results are highly competitive with accuracy of about 99% for the volume and mass in 300 testing samples.…”
