Hyperspectral imaging can help blueberry growers by detecting berries of various maturity stages, so that they can deploy harvesting labors more efficiently. Spectral-spatial detection from hyperspectral images using selected bands is applied to the blueberry maturity stage detection. Nested clustering technique and morphological operations are used as two approaches to spatially process the hy...
