Abstract: Apple shape identification is an essential character on appraising its appearance quality.This paper introduces a method of active shape models(ASM)as the neural network method based on Fourier to identify the apple shape.The experiment results demonstrate that the accuracy of the neural network is about 83.3% and the ASM method has good effect reaching as high as 95%.The matchin8 time between the model and the actual image does not surpass 2 sec.ASM has good visibility,high flexibility and strong robustness to satisfy the real-time graduation of apple.
