Which leads to better design of grading and packaging machines. In this study, some geometric characteristics of dried lemons were determined and mass modeling was performed based on geometric characteristics. The results showed: average mass, length, width, thickness, geometric mean diameter, volume, average image area, approximate volume 4.60 g, 33.85 mm, 36.06 mm, 31.62 mm, 30.64 mm, 19.24 cm3, 8.08 cm2, 17.36 cm3. Among the dimensional models, model M = 0.1122a + 0.1122b + 0.1172c-6.337, from the image surface model, model M = 0.1940 PA1 + 0.2648 PA2 + 0.2198 PA3-0.8828 and from the volume model, model M = 0.212VELL + 0.919 Showed the best fit (in this relationship M, a, b, c, PA1, PA2, PA3 and VELL were mass, length, width, thickness, first image level, second image level, third image level, estimated volume, respectively). The results of paired t-test also confirmed the accuracy of the models.
