This study proposes an efficient and novel method for recognizing pistachio varieties by leveraging Gabor filters for feature extraction and a genetic algorithm for feature selection, aiming to enhance classification accuracy and speed. Unlike conventional approaches that focus on individual processing of pistachio kernels—which, despite high accuracy, are time-consuming and computationally demanding—the proposed method employs holistic processing of images containing multiple pistachios, thereby significantly accelerating the recognition process. Key textural and shape-based features are initially extracted using Gabor filters. Subsequently, the genetic algorithm is applied to select optimal features and reduce data redundancy. The refined feature set is then classified using the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm. Experiments conducted on a dataset of 1,000 sub-images covering five common pistachio types (Akbari, Ahmad Aghaei, Kaleh Ghouchi, Fandoghi, and Badami) yielded an average classification accuracy of 99.5%. In comparison with deep learning models, the proposed method demonstrates competitive performance while requiring no extensive training phase or high computational resources. This results in a faster and more resource-efficient implementation, making it particularly suitable for industrial applications, especially in automated pistachio processing and packaging systems. The proposed method contributes to the automation of agricultural workflows, reducing both processing time and labor costs, and offers a practical solution for real-time classification in resource-constrained environments.
