Early detection of mechanical damage in mango using NIR hyperspectral images and machine learning by Vélez-Rivera, Nayeli, Gómez-Sanchís, Juan, Chanona-Perez, Jorge, Carrasco, Juan José, Millán-Giraldo, Mónica, Lorente, Delia, Cubero, Sergio, Blasco, José

“…Images of damaged and intact areas of mangos were acquired in the range 650–1100 nm using a hyperspectral computer vision system and then analysed to select the most discriminating wavelengths for distinguishing and classifying the two zones. Eleven feature-selection methods were used and compared to determine the wavelengths, while another five classification methods were used to segment the resulting multispectral images and classify the skin of the mangos as sound or damaged. …”
