Abstract EN
The ripening process in bananas causes the waste of a significant part of the production of this fruit.
The aim of this research is to find a new technique useful for identifying, registering, and quantifying the ripening process of a banana (Musa AAB Simmonds) at the seventh stage of the growing process.
This quantification is proposed with a nondestructive technique based on processing multispectral images.
This experiment used a set of multispectral imagery registered in a range of 270-1000 nm (from UV to IR) with the aid of a monochromatic camera and a set of 10 optical filters.
Multispectral images were analyzed with three different techniques: Fourier fractal analysis, Hotelling transform, and homogeneity texture analysis based on cooccurrence matrix.
First, a characteristic index was computed for each technique for a daily set of multispectral imagery.
These indexes are slope index, for Fourier fractals; the average of the computed eigenvalues, with Hotelling transform; and the texture homogeneity value.
These indexes were evaluated using the behavior of the resulting graphs for a seven-day period, being preferred those graphs with a tendency of decreasing values.
Finally, the repeatability of each technique was evaluated by reproducing similar values for each day during the evaluation period.
These three methods will be compared in this article in order to select the one with the best performance for measuring the ripening process in bananas.
The obtained results show that it is possible to effectively isolate the brown spots from the banana peel with the Hotelling transform by using only 2 optical filters: visible (410-690 nm) and Near-IR (820-910 nm).
With the resulting spectral image fusion it was possible to effectively describe the evolution of the brown spots present in the ripening process through the texture homogeneity criteria.
