This study discovers the uniqueness of physical and optical characteristics of the oil palm Fresh Fruit
Bunches (FFB) and is based on two different tenera planting materials namely PORIM SERIES 1 (PS 1) and
PORIM SERIES 2 (PS 2). Three methods have been done to determine the characteristics which are as follows;
1) manual approach by measuring the weight, length, width and circumference of oil palm FFB, 2) machine vision technique for color information extraction and 3) multi-band portable, active optical sensor
system to determine the chlorophyll and anthocyanin content. A total of thirty bunches were standardized into
a ripe grade and have been used as samples in this study. The results showed that each planting material
produces different physical and optical characteristics. The correlation between the weight and linear
dimensions of oil palm FFB was found to be 80%. This study gives very important information in helping
researchers on the development of future non-contact and non-destruction oil palm FFB grading equipment and
system.
Key words: Oil palm FFB, optical sensor, physical characteristics, RGB digital number, tenera, ,
