This research aims to develop an automatic gemstone color sorting machine to overcome the limitations of manual color sorting, which can be restricted by speed and accuracy. This study applies deep learning technology to analyze and classify gemstone colors precisely, developing an algorithm capable of accurately detecting and categorizing color shades. An automated conveyor system was also designed to efficiently transport gemstones through the color sorting process, allowing for continuous operation. The sorting machine works by capturing high-resolution images of the gemstones, processing them with software to classify color shades, and directing each gemstone to its designated position on the automated conveyor. Experimental results demonstrate that the automated color sorting machine, integrated with the conveyor system, achieves high speed and accuracy, significantly reducing labor costs and enhancing the efficiency of gemstone color sorting.
