Food processing Technologies play important roles in supporting Making Indonesia (MI) 4.0. The effectiveness in food processing becomes emerging in the food industry. The automatic fruit classification system is becoming important for use in many food processing industries. A novel approach for classifying, using support vector machines (SVM) is presented in this paper. Fruit classification based on their shape is proposed in this work. The system differentiates the fruit based on their shape. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is extracted and later used as input to the SVM-based identifier. The fruit parameters are compared and classified, the results of computer simulation show that this technique produces better accuracy than that of the existing technique that is based on artificial neural network (Ann). The SVM also requires less training time than artificial neural network (Ann).
