Abstract
A produce recognition system and method which use a distance measure of likeness calculation to identify a produce item. The system includes a produce data collector, a library, and a computer. The produce data collector collects first data from the produce item. The library contains second data associated with classes of produce items. The computer reads the second data from a library, determines a distance measure of likeness value between the first data and each of the second data, determines third data and a corresponding class of produce items from the second data which produces a smallest distance measure of likeness value, and identifies the produce item to be within the corresponding class of produce items.
