Abstract EN
This paper proposes Bayesian methods for the shape estimation of Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita) using a few key diameters of yam.
Shape prediction of yam is applicable to determining optimal cutoff positions of a yam for producing seed yams.
Our Bayesian method, which is a combination of Bayesian estimation model and predictive model, enables automatic, rapid, and low-cost processing of yam.
After the construction of the proposed models using a sample data set in Japan, the models provide whole shape prediction of yam based on only a few key diameters.
The Bayesian method performed well on the shape prediction in terms of minimizing the mean squared error between measured shape and the prediction.
In particular, a multiple regression method with key diameters at two fixed positions attained the highest performance for shape prediction.
We have developed automatic, rapid, and low-cost yam-processing machines based on the Bayesian estimation model and predictive model.
Development of such shape prediction approaches, including our Bayesian method, can be a valuable aid in reducing the cost and time in food processing.
