Journal ArticleDOI
Reflectance and Transmittance Spectroscopy Applied to Detecting Fumonisin in Single Corn Kernels Infected with Fusarium verticillioides
TL;DR: RefReflectance and transmittance visible and near-infrared spectroscopy were used to detect fumonisin in single corn kernels infected with Fusarium verticillioides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a calibration to predict maize seed composition using single kernel near infrared spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, a single-kernel near infrared spectroscopy was used to accurately predict internal kernel composition, near infrared reflectance (NIR) and near infrared transmittance spectra were collected from 2160 maize kernels of different genotypes grown in several environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of impact-acoustic emissions for detection of damaged wheat kernels
TL;DR: A non-destructive, real time device was developed to detect insect damage, sprout damage, and scab damage in kernels of wheat using a stepwise discriminant analysis routine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of contaminated hazelnuts and ground red chili pepper flakes by multispectral imaging
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional local discriminant bases algorithm was developed to detect the location of the discriminative features in the multispectral data space, which was applied to detect aflatoxin-contaminated hazelnut kernels and red chili peppers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Pistachio Nuts with Closed Shells Using Impact Acoustics
TL;DR: Increased sorting accuracy of the acoustic sorter, coupled with low cost, enables a payback period of less than one year and much lower than that of color sorters used to remove other pistachio defects while throughput is comparable.
