cantaloupe volume determination through image processing
Authors
abstract
cantaloupe (cucumis melo) volume was measured using water displacement and image processing methods. the volume determined from image processing method was compared to the volume determined by the water displacement method using the paired samples t-test and the bland-altman approach. the paired samples t-test results showed that the volume determined by image processing method was not significantly (p> 0.05) different from the volume measured through water displacement method. the mean and standard deviation of the volume difference between the two methods were -81.1 cm3 and 237.4 cm3, respectively (95% confidence interval: -212.5 and 50.4 cm3, p= 0.207). the average percentage difference between the two methods was 7.60%. the bland-altman approach was also indicated to be a satisfactory, image processing method suitable for volume estimation of almost all size cantaloupe. accordingly, image processing provides an accurate, simple, rapid and non-invasive method to estimate fruit volume and can be easily implemented in monitoring fruit growth as well as in sorting of fruits during postharvest processing.

Brain Volume Estimation Enhancement by Morphological Image Processing Tools
Background: Volume estimation of brain is important for many neurological applications. It is necessary in measuring brain growth and changes in brain in normal/abnormal patients. Thus, accurate brain volume measurement is very important. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method of choice for volume quantification due to excellent levels of image resolution and between-tissue contrast. St...

To determine attitude or direction with star constellations is perhaps the oldest method in the field of navigation and control. Besides its accuracy, star constellations can give three axis information by using just a single sensor, a digital CCD camera. What is very easy for men looking at the stars turns out to be complex if done by an onboard computer. The process of star identification can...

Digital image processing is an emerging tool to predict fruit quality; therefore present study was carried out to develop an image processing technique for investigating the storage life of cantaloupe. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) impregnated materials were used to prolong the postharvest life of cantaloupe fruit and the effects of these treatments were evaluated by 3 image textural features ...
