Hyperspectral Imaging for Assessing the Quality and Condition of Apples
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objectives: The overall objective of the project was to develop a novel light-based sensing technique to assess internal quality (firmness and sugar content or soluble solids content) of apples. Specific objectives were to: 1. Investigate a new sensing method, using hyperspectral and multispectral imaging, for quantifying the absorption and scattering properties of apple fruit; 2. Develop mathematical/statistical approaches and computer algorithms to relate the absorption and scattering properties of apples to fruit firmness and soluble solids content (SSC); and 3. Develop a prototype for sensing the firmness and SSC of apple fruit.

Predicting of the Quality Attributes of Orange Fruit Using Hyperspectral Images
Background: Hyperspectral image analysis is a fast and non-destructive technique that is being used to measure quality attributes of food products. This research investigated the feasibility of predicting internal quality attributes, such as Total Soluble Solids (TSS), pH, Titratable Acidity (TA), and maturity index (TSS/TA); and external quality attributes such as color components (L*, a*, b*)...
