Correctly classify difficult to detect defects like rot, clipper cut, long stem, and sunburn.
Traditional machine learning approaches to fruit grading work by analyzing small sections of the fruit, a few pixels at a time and making local predictions. It can't fully assess how those pixels relate to each other across the whole fruit.
LUCAi™ sees the whole fruit. It uses a deep learning classification model, designed to mimic the human brain's visual cortex, which is the part of the brain that processes what we "see" with our eyes. This allows LUCAi™ not just to recognize individual defects from the images produced by Spectrim but also make a decision based on the overall appearance and context of the entire piece of citrus fruit.
This advanced model allows LUCAi™ to correctly identify and categorize previously hard-to-detect citrus defects such as rot, sunburn, clipper cuts, pre-rot, long stems, doubles, and more than 20 other common defects.
When analyzing each fruit, LUCAi™ will assign:
The Spectrim with LUCAi™ grading platform utilizes deep learning technology to boost profitability and minimize operational instability. Packing operations can meet demand and improve productivity with increased yields, optimized pack-out results, and minimal fruit loss. Applications: Apples, Avocados, Citrus, Kiwifruits, Stonefruits
Our customers say they achieve unparalleled precision in grading because "LUCAi™ knows the difference" between even the hard-to-detect defects. But how does LUCAi™ know? Learn more about how this form of artificial intelligence works for apples, blueberries, cherries, and now, citrus fruits.
LUCAi™ Severity Score empowers packhouse operators with unprecedented control over fruit sorting. By combining deep learning with decades of expert-labelled data, LUCAi distinguishes not just the type of defect, but how severe it is — down to a fine-grain severity score from 0–100. This advanced scoring system helps operators make smarter decisions, maximize packout, and protect profit margins by ensuring the right fruit ends up in the right grade.
