This paper investigates the application of eight color models for automatic palm oil Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) ripeness classification with multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM). Ripeness is important during harvesting to ensure that they are harvested correct ripe stage optimum production. Since a significant indicator agriculturists determine FFB, it critical right model. Eight have been investigated namely, HSV, I1I2I3, LAB, XYZ, YCbCr, YIQ, YUV and RGB. Color moments were extracted from each these four stages FFB unripe, under-ripe, over-ripe. A database five hundred images has constructed experiments showed YCbCr outperform other models.
