Abstract

The lowest height at which a product can fall without suffering severe harm is known as the “critical drop height” for agricultural products. It is a crucial factor to take into account for crops like loquats that are prone to bruising or damage upon impact. By establishing the minimum altitude at which the product can be dropped without experiencing substantial harm, suitable processing procedures may be established from harvest to the end consumer, thereby preserving product quality and worth. The critical drop height can be ascertained through swift, affordable, non-destructive, and non-traditional methods, rather than time-consuming and expensive laboratory trials. In the study, we aimed to estimate the critical drop height for loquat fruit using machine learning methods. Three different machine learning methods with different operating principles were applied. R2, MAE, RMSE, and MAPE metrics were used to assess the models. There were no obvious differences in both the comparisons within the models, namely the training and test results and the mutual comparisons of the models. However, with a slight difference, the SVMs model performed better in the training data set, and the ETs model performed better in the test data set. Plots were drawn to visualize model performances, and the results obtained from the plots and metrics support each other.
