Abstract
Cowpea traders find the manual sorting process of cowpeas laborious and time-consuming.
Based on the volume of cowpeas and the proportion of damaged cowpeas, the process can span
a time interval of about 6 hours. This project integrates the power of computer vision and
convolutional neural networks to develop a solution for the cowpea trader to effectively
segregate good cowpeas from the damaged ones.
