Innovative technology integration: E tongue, near infrared grain tester & machine vision approaches for amylose content & quality characterization.

-tongue, machine vision and NIR systems were used to standardize the quality measurements in twenty rice genotypes grown in Highland Himalayan regions of Kashmir, in order to overcome the constraints of manual measurements. showed highest amylose content of 20.74 % and 20.

Predicting the optimum harvesting dates for different exotic apple varieties grown under North Western Himalayan regions through acoustic and machine vision techniques.

Acoustic system and machine vision were used to evaluate the effects of different harvest dates on the quality and sensory attributes of exotic apple varieties of North Western Himalayan. (V1) was harvested at 110 (H1), 120 (H2) and 130 (H3) Days from Full Bloom (DFFB); (V2) and (V3) were harvested at 130 (H1), 140 (H2) and 150 (H3) DFFB. Highest acoustic coefficient (21.

UIIS 1.1: A Field portable high-throughput platform tool for biomedical and agricultural applications.

The colorimetric sensing technology has evolved into an essential tool for high-throughput analysis including portability and cost-effectiveness among available biomedical and agricultural screening approach. In this endeavor, the objective of work is to focus on the development of a field-portable instrument based on an Uniform Illumination Imaging System (UIIS), which will facilitate the colorimetric biochemical sensing. The developed field-portable, wavelength independent UIIS has been exploited for (a) rotavirus detection using commercial enzymatic immunoassay based microplate kit; (b) pesticide residue detection and quantification; The proposed system exhibited a good correlation in comparison to another two conventional techniques, i.
