An algorithm to separate touching oranges using a distance transform-watershed segmentation is presented. In this study, there are four classes of oranges, such as class A, B, C, and D, respectively. The size of each class is based on the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), the sample used is 168 oranges of which 140 are for training and 28 oranges are for testing. The image of citrus fruits was captured using Kinect v2 camera with a camera resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels, the distance from the camera to the background is 23 cm. The images were captured in PNG format. The watersheds were computed based on the distance transformed by orange regions. The corresponding basins were finally used to split the falsely connected corn kernel by intersecting the basins with the corn kernel regions. Experimental results show that the multi-layer perceptrons have classification accuracy rates of 92.85%. The algorithm appears to be robust enough to separate most of the multiple touching scenarios.
