Automatic Date Fruit Recognition Using Outlier Detection Techniques and Gaussian Mixture Models

In this paper, we propose a method for automatically recognizing different date varieties. The presence of outlier samples could significantly degrade the recognition outcomes. Therefore, we separately prune samples of each variety from outliers using the Pruning Local Distance-based Outlier Factor...
