Chilli (Capsicum annuum) is valued for its diverse commercial uses. It is one of the major vegetable crops that are grown throughout the world especially in tropical and subtropical regions. India is a major producer, exporter and consumer of chilli. We are trying to create a cost effective mobile edge device for Chilli Color identification and Grading, keeping in mind the important applications of Oleoresin (Chilli-oil); quality of Oleoresin depends on color count of chilli which is measured in (American Spice Trading Association) ASTA units.
