We evaluated our solution on 30 images of cacao pods. The images were collected from various sources, some lifted from the internet and some photographed from the fields of Central Luzon State University. Our criteria for gathering images are: (1) The image contains only a single cacao pod. (2) The infected cacao pod has visible manifestations of the disease, e.g. spotting, rotting, or discoloring. (3) The image size is at least 360x480 pixels. (4) The cacao pod occupies approximately 75\% or more of the image.  The background of the images were manually removed to eliminate its effect on the evaluation of the method described above. For deployment, we can remove the background in many ways -- adding a  background subtraction algorithm prior to measuring the infestation level; or using a plain colored object as a background when taking pictures. But, that step may be implemented and optimized separately without affecting the process of measuring the infestation level.
