Abstract
The agricultural industry has an unmet requirement for quick and accurate classification or recognition of vegetables according to the quality criteria. This open research problem draws attention to the research scholars every time. The classification and object detection challenges have seen highly encouraging outcomes from machine learning and deep learning techniques. The foundational condition for developing precise and reliable machine learning models for the real-time context is a neat and clean dataset. With this goal in mind, we have developed a picture dataset of four popular vegetables in India that are also highly exported worldwide. In order to generate a dataset, we have taken into account four vegetables: Bell Peppers, Tomatoes, Chili Peppers, and New Mexico Chiles. The dataset is divided into four vegetable folders, including Bell Pepper, Tomato, Chili Pepper, and New Mexico Chile. Further each vegetable folder contains five subfolders namely (1) Unripe, (2) Ripe, (3) Old, and (4) Dried (5) Damaged. The image collection includes a total of 6850 pictures of vegetables in dataset. We firmly feel that the provided dataset is very beneficial for developing, evaluating, and validating a machine learning model for vegetable categorization or reorganization.
