So at this point the dominant color, spots and size features are extracted from the mango. All the features with corresponding values are shown in Fig 6. These are the feature parameters for the grading. Based on this the grading rules are created. Some of them are shown Table 2.

Rule 1 If spots are more and Size is less and Color is unripe then Grade is Rejected

Rule 4 If spots are average and Size is medium and Color is unripe then Grade is Grade 3

Rule 8 If spots are less and Size is medium and Color is semi ripe then Grade is Grade 2

Rule 10 If spots are less and Size is large Color is Ripe then Grade is Grade 1
