Honey and honey-based products in Malaysia is gaining popularity as a result to the healthy lifestyle promotions by various groups including the government.

This research introduces a more efficient approach using UV for honey classification. This research work also shows that a low-cost approach using RGB digital camera, can also be used for the same purpose. In addition to that, the work introduces the idea of fusion using the two approaches and shows an improvement in classification. The work presented the classification of the honey based on two characteristics from three (3) types of local honey, namely the antioxidant contents and colour variations. The former uses the UV spectroscopy of selected wavelength range, and the latter using RGB digital camera. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used for both methods to reduce the dimension of extracted data. Support Vector Machine (SVM) was used for the classification of honey. The assessment was done separately for each of the methods, and also on the fusion of both data after features extraction. The overall classification of the fusion method improved significantly compared to single modality. Honey classification based on the fusion method was able to achieve 94% accuracy. Hence, the proposed methods have the ability to provide accurate and rapid classification of honey products in terms of its origin. The proposed system can be applied to the Malaysian honey industry and further improve the quality assessment and provide tracebility.
