cranberries

Detecting plastic pieces and evaluating humidity using hyperspectral imaging to improve quality control of cranberries.

Industry

fruits

Solution

Beyond Safety

Plastic pieces in cranberry mass (HSI-RGB)

Goal

To detect plastics and asses humidity content for supporting sustainable production and reducing product incompatibility.

Methodologies Used

Hyperspectral imaging, Analytical chemistry, Chemometric techniques

Process

Acquire hyperspectral images of cranberry masses, then preprocess and segment the data to isolate features, followed by applying classification methods to detect plastic contaminants and assess humidity content. This rapid, non-destructive process enhances quality control by identifying foreign objects and ensuring product compatibility.
