Machine learning and data mining are relatively similar. But the machine learning focuses on prediction, , based on known properties learned from training data. In this we have explained about classification of machine learning algorithms, list of machine learning algorithms and applications of machine learning. In addition to we have explained about APPLICATION OF MACHINE LEARNING-FRUIT SORTING TECHNIQUE. Using image processing, computer vision, machine learning techniques we have done fruit sorting. Based on quality of fruit with data/parameters CLASSIFICATION is done using machine learning algorithms like Support vector measure (SVM ), K- Nearest neighbor (KNN),fuzzy logic approach, Artificial Neural networks.

Introduction Machine learning is one of the discipline in data mining.It is a “Field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed”. “A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P,if its performance at tasks in T,as measured by P,improves with experience E”

  “A core objectiveof learner is to GENERALIZE from EXPERIENCE”. Generalization means ability to learn the machine to perform accurately on new,unseen tasks after having experienced a learning data set. Machine learning Vs Data Mining: Many of them confuse about data mining and machine learning that both are same. But the terms are different . What is Machine learning? Machine learning focuses on Prediction, based on known properties learned from training data. What is Data mining? Data mining focuses on discovery of unknown properties in the data.It is also known as Knowledge discovery in data base. Why we use Machine learning? Machine learning systems attempt to eliminate the need for human intuition in data analysis. However some human interaction can be reduced. Classification of algorithms in Machine learning:  Supervised Learning  Unsupervised Learning  Semi-supervised Learning  Transduction  Reinforcement Learning  Inductive Learning  Developmental Learning Supervised Learning: In this algorithms are trained on labelled examples, i.e, inputs where the desired outputs is known. supervised learning algorithms attempts to generalize a function or mapping from inputs to outputs. Unsupervised Learning: In this algorithms operate on unlabeled examples i.e, input where the desired output is unknown.in this main objective is to discover structure in data(Cluster analysis). Semi-supervised Learning: In this it combines both labelled and unlabelled examplesto generate a function or classifier. Transductive Learning: It predicts new outputs on specific,fixed test cases and training cases. Reinforcement Learning: In this agent attempts to gather knowledge from environment.The agents executes actions which cause the observable state of the environment to change. Inductive Learning: It is learning from based on previous experience. Developmental Learning: This is latest Learning known as Robot learning. List of Machine Learning Algorithms:  Support vector machines  Artificial neural networks  Clustering  Decision tree learning  Association rule learning  Bayesian networks  Metric learning algorithms Applications of Machine learning:  Speech recognition  Drive automobiles  Play world-class backgammon  Program generation  Routing in communication networks  Understanding handwritten text  Data mining

   face detectionand face recogniastion  Automated fruit sortiong technique Automated Fruit Sorting Application In general farmers and distributors do conventional quality inspection and handpicking to sort and grade agricultural and food products. This manual method is time-consuming, laborious, less efficient, monotonous, slow and inconsistent. Automated fruit sorting is done Using techniques like :  Image Processing  Computer Vision  Machine Learning Advantages of Automated fruit sorting:  Cost effective.  Consistent  Greater product stability.  Safety.  Speed and accurate sorting can be achieved.  Improve the quality of the product.  Abolish inconsistent manual evaluation.  Reduce dependence on available traditional inspection. Quality of fruit sorting Parameters: Flavor such as sweetness, acidity content in the product, grading through appearance on bases color,size, shape, blemishes and glossiness of product, and texture that is assorted on its firmness or product’s mouth feel. Below tables summarize some of the very recent grading and sorting systems. COMPUTER VISION Computer vision systems provide rapid, economic, hygienic, consistent and objective assessment. Diffi culties still exist in this fi eld due to relativity slow commercial uptake of computer vision technology and processing speeds still fail to meet modern manufacturing requirements in all sectors. A model for sorting is proposed in order to overcome drawback of current grading systems. so we use machine learning techniques. Parameters considered in Computer vision: Drawbacks in computer vision: • Current sorting systems are not accurate. • Very few parameters like size and color are considered for grading systems. • Still all are under research laboratories. • Most of research and development of automated agriculture product sorting has been done outside India. • The sorting of fruits is still performed manually in India. • No grading system is yet available for fruits like chikoo, sugarcane and grapes etc that are exported to other countries from India

  Proposed Model Fig: Proposedmodel for automated fruit sorting As shown in figure, first fruits are collected in a chamber. From the chamber it moves through escalators safely where the weight of the fruit gets estimated. It moves towards another chamber where the image of fruit is captured by more than one camera in different angle. Detecting fruit growth: For detecting fruit growth (raw or ripped), smell of the fruit is detected by sensors of wireless sensor network. Usage of image processing: Image is then processed where various algorithms are applied on image for finding expected features like size, depth, 3D model, texture and color. For finding different features of fruit image following steps should be applied,  Image segmentation algorithm can be applied on captured image.Histogram thresolding, feature space clustering, Region basedapproach; Edge detection approach,fuzzy approach and neural network approach are the examples of segmentation methods.  Size parameter: From the segmented image, size parameter can be identified using machine vision by measuring projected area, perimeter or diameter.  Shape parameter : can be identified using contour based methods like chain code, B-spine, Hausdorff distance ,Fourier descriptor, etc. or region based methods like convex hull, medial axis, Legendre moments, shape matrix etc.  color parameter: On moving up to next, color feature can be identified using color features of fruits and vegetables included mean, variance, ranges of the red, green, and blue color primaries (RGB color model) and the derived hue, saturation, and intensity values (HIS color model).  Skin texture parameter: Skin disease and defects can be found out using skin texture identification methods.  Interior appearance parameter: Image descriptors like global color histogram; Unser’s descriptors, color coherence vectors, border/interior, appearance descriptors etc. can be used for classification of fruits and vegetables.  MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS USED: Finally, machine-learning algorithm is used for classification of parameters. Machine learning algorithms are neural network, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithm, fractal dimensions, Support Vector Machine (SVM), K- Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) etc. Based on the decision drawn after the process on the above steps, the fruit is classified into different categories like big, small, medium sized, ripe/unripe or defectives.

FUTURE APPLICATIONS: o Rice Sorting o Paddy Sorting o Pulses Sorting Conclusion and Future Direction:  Automated fruit sorting is speedy, inexpensive, safe and accurate.  Proposed model is generalized and it is considering far more feature parameters than available sorting systems.  Currently, research in the automated fruit sorting and grading has been conducted by experimenting them in laboratories only.
