Inner-injury fragrant pears are easily prone to rot during storage. Discriminating inner injury in the Korla fragrant pear from the normal pear is difficult as the flesh may be injured while the peel of the fruit remains intact. This study demonstrated the recognition of inner-injury pears based on their electric characteristics to pick out the inner-injury pears before storage.

In this study, a rapid nondestructive testing method for beef tenderness based on airflow pressure combined with structural light 3D vision technology was proposed. The structural light 3D camera was used to scan the 3D point cloud deformation information of the beef surface after the airflow acted on it for 1.

The deformation signals of kiwifruit for firmness assessment were acquired using an assessment system based on airflow and laser technology in this investigation. Using partial least squares regression (PLSR), genetic algorithm optimization of bp neural network (GA-BP), and an extreme learning machine (ELM), deformation data from kiwifruit was used to create models of Magness-Taylor penetration firmness prediction.

In the current study, we investigate the superficial vessel density (VD) of the papillary microvasculature and its determinants in healthy subjects of Southern China.
Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional study.
The surface texture of dried jujube fruits is a significant quality grading criterion. This paper introduced a novel visual feature fusion based on connected region density, texture features, and color features. The single-scale Two-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform was used to perform single-scale decomposition and reconstruction of dried Hami jujube image before visual features extraction.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA method for surface profile measurement using a chessboard-shaped 2-D Ronchi grating is proposed. The gradients in two orthogonal directions of the measured surface can be obtained simultaneously using a chessboard-shaped 2-D Ronchi grating, so that it is possible to reconstruct the surface profile by means of only one Ronchigram with high accuracy. The measuring principle and the design of the chessboard-shaped 2-D Ronchi grating are described.
