INTRODUCTION Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) was first introduced to Malaysia as an ornamental plant in 1870. Since 1960, planted area had increased at a rapid pace. In 1985, 1.5 million hectares were planted with palm tree, and it had increased to 4.3 million hectares in 2007. It has become the most important commodity crop in Malaysia. As of 2011, the total planted area was 4.917 million hectares.(mpob 2011)
INTRODUCTION Oil palm is the most productive vegetable oil crop, capable of producing 4.27 t of palm oil per hectare per year.(mpob 2011) Malaysia with producing up to 18,400 thousand metric tons is the second largest producer of palm oil and %86 of worldwide export.(usda, 2011).
First (1 st ) Part Of The Presentation: FFBs maturity classification and oil analysis correlation
. INTRODUCTION Grading of oil palm fruits is conventionally observed by human vision. This is used for ripeness classification. Today many types of research has been carried out to find the correlation between oil content and quality of the oil palm fruit based on its colour (RGB). These researches followed more advanced methods and techniques by using different types of sensing techniques. Accordingly some near sensing devices has been constructed in order to achieve real time classification result of certain fruit. Oil Palm Fresh Fruit Bunches Ripeness Detector (OPRID) using multi spectral bands has been designed by integrated different sensors and sources of illumination.
Problem Statement A fast, accurate, and objective ripeness classification of oil palm fruit bunches for unripe, under-ripe, ripe, and over-ripe grading in real time has its limitations using traditional methods. Traditional methods of oil palm FFB quality assessment are costly and tedious. There is a need not only for automatic detection of ripeness but also automatic determination of oil content and oil quality parameters
Objectives The main objectives of this work are: To determine maturity classification of FFB using OPRID. To determine correlation between OPRID signals and oil palm parameters.
Technical Information Of OPRID
OPRID calibration Sensors calibration. OPRID preparation steps. Sensors require calibration to quantify the sensor s response to known radiometric input and to characterize the interactions and dependencies between the optical, mechanical, and electronic components Mode 1 White balance calibration: using pure and smooth white surface with area that fit OPRID slot, then record all AU readings using four detectors with ten LEDs separately (40 models). Mode 2 Black level calibration: using same procedure in mode1 but change white surface with black one.
LEDs Adjusting OPRID preparation steps. For using the device as efficiently as possible, where OPRID sensors have high spectral resolution (AU=65280) and LEDs power can be adjusted in many levels, so LEDs should be adjusted to achieve highest performance of device, and this will be done but with two consideration: First, avoid reaching saturation point, where saturation means that the use of this reading cannot be relied upon in the classification tasks and comparison between certain values. Secondly, the LED power should be stronger enough to extent AUs range that makes the task of distinguishing between readings is more effective.

Second (2 nd ) Part Of The Presentation Oil Palm quality parameter estimation based on thermal imaging technique
INTRODUCTION Temperature measurement is an important aspect in any industrial process and infrared thermography has revolutionized the concept of temperature measurement ( R.Vadivambal, 2010). Temperature measurements mostly performed using some contact instrument like thermometers, thermocouples, thermistors, and resistance temperature detectors. While infrared thermal imaging is a non-contact, nondestructive technique which provides temperature mapping of the material( R.Vadivambal, 2010). Therefore, use of infrared thermal imaging is widely increasing in many fields.
Problem statement The maturity or ripeness of the oil palm fruits influences the quality of oil palm. Conventional method includes manual detection of FFB ripeness by counting the number of loosened fruits per bunch. This manual sorting of oil palm FFB is a time-consuming, costly, needs many workers and the results may have the human error. Currently, grading of palm oil fruit is performed through visual inspection using the surface color as the main quality attribute. Color is the most important indication of FFB ripeness but there is no inspection of the relationship between color and optimum FFB oil content, FFA, PV, DOBI and CAROTIN
Objectives This research investigates the potential of infrared images (Thermal images) as a predictor to estimate the oil content, Free Fatty Acid (FFA), peroxide value (PV), Deterioration of Bleachability Index (DOBI) and Carotene.. The research objective are: To investigate the correlation of the thermal image oil content, Free Fatty Acid (FFA), peroxide value (PV), Deterioration of Bleachability Index (DOBI) and Carotene. To develope a technique to predict the total pecentage of oil content and Free Fatty Acid (FFA), peroxide value (PV), Deterioration of Bleachability Index (DOBI) and Carotene in the fresh fruit bunch.
METHODOLOGY Obtaining raw data from the thermal camera is a temperature array of the thermal distribution of the object s surface. Transforming this temperature array into an image format to create a thermal image and extract the relevant feature polygon of FFB by using thermal image processing software FLIR reporter wizard and thermacam researcher pro 2.10 Determine the relationship between oil content, Free Fatty Acid (FFA), peroxide value (PV), Deterioration of Bleachability Index (DOBI) and Carotene in the FFB and temperature data from the thermal images by using the correlation and regression techniques. Development a predictive model using Artificial Neural network (ANN) to estimate the total percentage of oil content, FFA and other quality parameters
Fresh fruit bunches of varying ripeness based on the number of loosened fruit and visual observation of fruit color were harvested from United Plantation Research and Development (UPRD) Center in Teluk Intan, Perak Malaysia. 135 harvested bunches were weighted and thermal images from three sides of the fresh fruit bunches were then captured with a FLIR E60 camera The oil palm bunches were from the Nigresens cultivar according to three maturity categories: Under Ripe, Ripe and Over Ripe. For each category, the images were collected based on three types of weight: 0-15 kg, 15-25kg and above 25kg. First Data collection
After finishing the capturing session for the FFB image, the bunches will be send to laboratory for chemical analysis to determine its oil content, FFA, PV, DOBI and carotene.
First Data Analysis
The data were collected with two thermal camera E60 and T440. Second Data Collection The two set of data from three sides of 135 FFB were collected in United Plantation Research and Development in Teluk Intan(UPRD), Perak. The oil palm bunches same as first data were from the Nigresens cultivar according to three maturity categories: Under Ripe, Ripe and Over Ripe.
