Feasibility of Hyper-spectral Sensing Technology to identify "Inner Rot" in Bell Peppers
FY 2019-20 · 2019-07-15
Summary
The feasibility of using non-invasive hyper spectroscopy and Artificial Intelligence to analyse and identify bell peppers with inner rot though chemical changes on the surface of the pepper that are not visible to the human eye. The further application based on positive testing results would be creating a commercial scanning unit to identify affected peppers and sort them off the line in real time.

Description (French)
La faisabilité de l'utilisation de l'hyper spectroscopie non invasive et de l'intelligence artificielle pour analyser et identifier les poivrons atteints de pourriture interne par des changements chimiques à la surface du poivron qui ne sont pas visibles à l'œil humain. Une autre application basée sur des résultats positifs serait la création d'une unité de balayage commerciale pour identifier les poivrons affectés et les trier en temps réel.
