利用高光谱成像技术和多变量校正方法检测苹果的硬度赵杰文,陈全胜,Saritpom Vittayapadun91,Sumpun Chaitep2(1.江苏大学食品与生物工程学院,镇江212013。
2.Faculty of Engineering, Chiang Mai University ,Chiang Mai 50200,Thailand).摘要:高光谱图像集图像信息与光谱信息于一身,应用于农产品品质无损检测领域。
该研究尝试利用高光谱图像技术结合多变量校正方法检测苹果硬度的可行性。
试验通过获取的高光谱图像中提取有效的光谱信息来建立预测苹果硬度的预测模型。
在建立模型过程中,偏最小二乘(PLS)和支持向量回归(SVR)两种多变量校正方法被比较,结果表明在785.1l~872.45 nm 范围内,SVR模型的性能优于PLS模型,模型对硬度预测结果的相关系数为0.6808。
试验结果表明高光谱图像技术可以被用来检测苹果的硬度。
关键词:光谱分析; 图像处理; 水果; 硬度; 检测0 介绍水果内部品质的非破坏性可靠评估是研究国家提高其出口潜力的重要领域。
水果的硬度是出口新鲜水果的重要因素。
水果硬度是用来决定苹果质量的重要品质参数之一,也是给新鲜水果分级的主要品质参数。
如今,破坏的Magness-Taylor(MT)硬度检测器被常规地用于测量水果硬度。
已经有大量的研究报告了利用非破坏性机械感应技术,包括准静态力量/变形,冲击力和声学来测量水果硬度。
但是,这种质量检测方法经常是破坏性的,低效率和耗时的,而且倾向于操作性的。
因此,能够测量质量参数,包括苹果的硬度的非破坏性感应技术将在为消费者保证一贯的高质量水果方面具有很大的价值。
如上所述,现在为出口市场的苹果分类分级的方法需要更科学的手段来改进。
这个问题可以由对水果内部质量的非破坏性评估来解决。
各种研究人员已经就各种用来决定采收后的园艺作物质量的非破坏性感应技术的发展做了报告,包括机械力/变形,音波的,冲击力,光学和电器科学的发展。

Mixers is a design project for enhancing communications within a community of older people in London. The University of the Third Age (U3A) is a volunteer-run learning organization for people between the ages of 60and 90. We worked with them to reconsider their physical and information environment as they moved to a new headquarters within London.Existing means for finding out aboutevents, changes, and news at the University involved notes printed on bits of paper,which were difficult to read, filter through,and remember. They expressed an explicit wish for a better notice system.We designed a tangible interface to an audio noticeboard, to support students at the University in accessing recorded announcements. It has three components:lights which indicated relevant messages, a tactile bar for tuning among them, and a hand-held earphone. The system is accessed by slotting the student ID card into the interface.We produced a working electronic prototype of the interface. This wasprojected to be one of several embedded in coffee tables in the atrium space, where students enter the building andgather to chat in between classes.Mixersa participatory approach to design prototypingIn this design exhibit, we describe methods we have used to design a noticeboard interface for an older community in London. Three low-fidelity methods of prototyping interaction provided shared and accessible means for us and our end users to communicate design ideas, explore qualities of the user experience, and evaluate them within situations of use.This approach facilitated the development of an appropriate, innovative and feasible solution for a unique context.Keywords: design methodology, prototypes, experience design, participatory design, tangible interfacePermission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.

Users at the University of the Third Age are ‘experts’ on their needs and values as older people, as the volunteers who would be interacting with the system on a daily basis, and on what would work within their community. Considering them as ‘design partners’, we engaged them at many levels throughout the project.We used various methods for developing our interaction design from concept to user interface, three of which will be describedInitially, we improvised interaction concepts internally, involving colleagues in acting out situations which we videotaped. We then took these scenarios to an off-site workshop, where they set the stage for discussion and role-playing with users.possibility of audio overlap as a means of learning about other classes and sparking face-to-face encounters. This finding, among others, was reflected in the final design as physical proximity between two interfaces embedded in a coffee table and。
