Emerging application of deep learning in agriculture includes ripeness detection of tomato which harvest tomato in appropriate time and prevents rotten of tomato. This saves the framer from loss. Tomato was classified as ripe, half-ripe, and unripe, based on maturity stage of fruit. Various deep learning methodologies were analyzed for maturity detection of tomato. Multimodal approach for maturity detection is suggested for enhanced accuracy in ripeness detection.
