Abstract
Introduction. At present, an intuitive graphical interface is an indispensable component of modern agricultural-oriented software products.
Aim of the Article. The research is aimed at improving the efficiency of sorting apples by developing a graphical control interface for a vision system to recognize various defects and sort apples.
Materials and Methods. The authors used methods of analysis, enumeration, comparison and synthesis of modern software solutions.
Results. As a result of the research, there was created a graphical application of the software for the control unit of the machine vision system containing all the necessary tools for managing and optimizing costs when sorting apples into three commercial quality classes.
Discussion and Conclusion. The graphical interface of the machine vision system was used in the line LSP-4 for sorting and packing apples. It was developed by Scientific and Practical Center NAS of Belarus for Agricultural Mechanization in 2020 and successfully passed state acceptance tests.

Keywords: graphical interface, artificial neural network, apple sorting, machine vision, control unit

Funding: The work was carried out as a part of the task No. 5 “Development and use of technological line for sorting and packing applesˮ of the subprogram “Belselkhozmekhanizatsiya‒2025ˮ of the state scientific and technical program “Innovative agro-industrial and food technologiesˮ 2021‒2025.
