Good and Bad classification of Cucumber ( Cucumis Sativus)

cucumber ( cucumis sativus ) commonly known as nutritious fruit widely consumed in South Asia. It is valued for its low calorie content and high moisture level, making it suitable for healthy and diabetic-friendly diets. Cucumbers are hydrating, low-calorie, and packed with nutrients like Vitamin K, C, and potassium, offering benefits for hydration, weight management, digestion, skin health, bone strength, heart health (blood pressure), blood sugar control, and antioxidant protection, with compounds that may even help prevent cancer and reduce inflammation. Cucumbers are chilling-sensitive; store them at cool room temperature (around 10-12°C or 50-55°F) for short-term freshness to avoid chilling injury like pitting and rapid decay, but for home use, store them unwashed in a plastic bag in the fridge (45-50°F/7-10°C) for a few days to a week, keeping them away from ethylene-producing fruits. Cucumber spoilage happens due to high water content, thin skin, and microbial growth (fungi/bacteria), leading to soft spots, sliminess, yellowing, mold, or off-smells , basically it is mainly spoiled by mold formation. Fresh and mature fruits of cucumber were collected from local markets of Malda town, West Bengal, India (24°59′N, 88°08′E), and the collection location was mapped using GPS coordinates. Immediately after procurement, the samples were sorted to remove damaged or visibly spoiled fruits. The selected sosa samples were first washed thoroughly with normal tap water to remove adhering soil and surface impurities. Digital images of the samples were captured using a smartphone (Redmi note 9 ,64gb 46megapexl camera). Approximately 1000 images were captured per day, out of which 72 high-quality images per day were selected based on clarity, focus, and uniform illumination for further analysis. The image dataset was used to study progressive changes in color, texture, surface integrity, and microbial spoilage during storage. This systematic image acquisition protocol enabled continuous non-destructive monitoring of cucumber quality throughout the storage period.
In this dataset, the bad image folder contains 500 images of cucumber(Cucumis sativus), and the good image folder also contains 500 images of cucumber (Cucumis sativus).
Therefore, the total number of images in the dataset is 1000.
