Sorting line bell peppers

i want to design a sorting line of bell peppers depending on color and weight .

the line will seperate the peppers into 3 colors (Red , yellow , Green) then classify the same-color

peppers based on weight (less and greater than 120 grams)

Assume one sensor input for color (R, Y, or G), and three sensors for weight (one for each same-color line).

i'm really confused on how to do this (any help appreciated).

I'd get the Image Acquisition toolbox to snap images from a camera. Then you'll need robotic to move your peppers along a conveyor belt onto a scale. Use the Data Acquisition Toolbox to read the scale to get the weight. Then another robot to push the pepper off the scale to continue it's journey down the line. I'd call a machine vision vendor like Cognex (basically situated across the street from Mathworks) to get you started.

what do you think of this flowchart does it resemble the task ?

@Image Analyst is it possible to use only if statements and foor loops for this task?

[Image Analyst]

No, it is not possible to do a complicated program like that with only for loops and if statements. And that flow chart does not look right to me, at least it's not complete so it's not understandable.

@Image Analyst i'm getting a headache from this question to be honest ,

our instructor only gave us while and if statements syntax on matlab

im a beginner on matlab

so i assume this question can be solved by using if and loops

i've been thinking alot of the algorithm of writing a code

problem is i think either the question is wrong or i don't understand it very well.

[Image Analyst]

It can be solved using those commands as well as many others. Ask you instructor exactly how does he expect the weight of the items to get into your program and see what he says. See if he thinks that's going to happen with just if and while.
