Automatic Selection of High-Grade Dried Shiitake Mushrooms using Machine Learning

Miyazaki Prefecture is blessed with the rich nature of the Kyushu Mountains, where many mushrooms have grown wild since ancient times, and the production of dried shiitake mushrooms ranks second in Japan after Oita Prefecture.SUGIMOTO Co., Ltd., which will be cooperating with us this time, is a long-established company established in 1970, and at times it is necessary to sort over 1 ton.However, since selection is still done manually, it is very difficult for employees to do the selection.The goal of this research is to determine the quality of shiitake mushrooms using deep learning and video image processing.
