Ultra sensor based on color and UV-excited fluorescence images for predicting quality attributes of Shine-Muscat grape bunches at different maturity stages.

Fruit maturity at harvest is a major factor in determining its quality. In this study, external skin color of grape has been utilized to predict their chemical content and, in turn, the maturity of the fruit. Measurements of the chemical content such as Brix and acidity were made on ten bunches of "Shine Muscat" grapes at three different harvest periods (immature, mature, and overmature).

Mobile-device-based two-dimensional measurement for estimating the embryo and endosperm areas of brown rice.

The rice kernel inside a hull is composed of the embryo and endosperm. The embryo or germ of the rice seed will grow and become the shoot and the root parts of a seedling, while the endosperm is an important nutrient source for the embryo in the early stages. Hence, the health of seedlings depends particularly on the sizes of the embryo and endosperm.

Temperature-compensated infrared-based low-cost mobile platform module for mass human temperature screening.

As fast human temperature screening is needed in large public areas, this paper proposes a low-cost mobile platform module that combines the advantages of analyzing visible and thermal images. In particular, the key idea relies on face detection in the visible image. Then the coordinates of all faces detected are mapped on to the thermal image to determine their corresponding temperatures.
