The information regarding size of olive fruits is intended for estimating the best harvesting time of olive trees. The recognition is performed by analyzing the RGB images obtained from olive tree pictures \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{image processing; pattern recognition; RGB model; CIELAB color space; olive harvesting} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-25085-9\_77} \end
