Legume tissue quality is a key factor for enhancement of feed resources and contribution to soil fertility in mixed crop-livestock production systems. To compare methods used by soil scientists and animal-nutritionists to assess quality of plant materials, three woody tropical legumes with contra...
This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a multi-sensor approach for predicting shrinkage of papaya during drying using computer vision methods in combination with optical scattering analysis of light at 650 nm. The top-side area and total surface area derived from computer vision were analy...
