A crucial task in industrial quality control, especially in the food and agriculture sectors, is the quick and precise estimation of an object’s volume. This study combines cutting-edge machine learning and computer vision techniques to provide a comprehensive, non-destructive method for predicting orange volume. We created a reliable pipeline that employs top and side views of every orange to estimate four important dimensions using a calibrated marker. These dimensions are then fed into a machine learning model that has been fine-tuned. Our method uses a range of engineered features, such as complex surface-area-to-volume ratios and new shape-based descriptors, to go beyond basic geometric formulas. Based on a dataset of 150 unique oranges, we show that the Stacking Regressor performs significantly better than other single-model benchmarks, including the highly tuned LightGBM model, achieving an R2 score of 0.971. Because of its reliance on basic physical characteristics, the method is extremely resilient to the inherent variability in fruit and may be used with a variety of produce types. Because it allows for the real-time calculation of density (mass over volume) for automated defect detection and quality grading, this solution is directly applicable to a factory sorting environment.
