The current study used image analysis technique to classifypersimmon fruits into three commercially maturity stages. Therewere no significant differences among physical properties of fruitsincluding main dimensions, sphericity, and volume. Therefore, sor-ting algorithm categorized the fruits based on the external color ofpersimmons. The written algorithm captured an image, eliminatedthe noises, obtained binary image, removed the black spots, andultimately extracted the color features. The best result for classi-fying the fruits was gained by QDA classifier with a high overallaccuracy rate of 90.24%. Thus, it was concluded that external colorfeatures of persimmon fruits can be potentially used to classify thefruits with a proper probability.
