Abstract

Quality is the most important aspect in cashew nuts, based on which the price is fixed. This makes classification an even more important process. The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic literature review to identify existing knowledge in the cashew grading system. The search method discusses the papers based on feature extraction techniques, outcomes, and limitations. Also highlight the research gap or focus on the classification and recognition of defective cashews and computation time.
