Abstract

This study presents an AI-driven approach for evaluating fruit freshness by utilizing the MobileNetV2 model. The method aims to replace conventional manual inspections with an automated system for distinguishing between fresh and spoiled fruits. Through transfer learning techniques, the model was trained on a comprehensive dataset comprising over 10,000 images, focusing on three fruit categories: apples, bananas, and oranges. By applying data preprocessing and optimization techniques, the system achieved a test accuracy of 99%, demonstrating its reliability in assessing food quality. This research provides a cost-efficient solution for automating fruit sorting, with future plans to broaden its application by incorporating more fruit types and testing in real-world environments.
