Cotton maturity describes the thickness of the cotton secondary cell wall. There is a need for developing non-destructive methods for measuring maturity that also examine distribution. The current study seeks to expand reported infrared (IR)-based maturity determinations using an IR imaging system with a focal-plane array (FPA) detector. Adapted equations were used to examine the maturity of cotton standards and of a larger set of upland cotton varieties (30 total). Maturity values obtained with a Cottonscope and from IR determinations showed strong linearity, R2 = 0.95, while contour plots provided a visual representation of the maturity distribution in the samples. These results validate the use of IR measurement for examining cotton maturity and establish the use of the FPA IR system for examining and imaging cotton maturity distributions.

A spectroscopic near-infrared imaging system, using a focal plane array (FPA) detector, is presented for remote and on-line measurements on a macroscopic scale. On-line spectroscopic imaging requires high-speed sensors and short image processing steps. Therefore, the use of a focal plane array detector in combination with fast chemometric software is investigated. As these new spectroscopic imaging systems generate so much data, multivariate statistical techniques are needed to extract the important information from the multidimensional spectroscopic images. These techniques include principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) for supervised classification of spectroscopic image data. Supervised classification is a tedious task in spectroscopic imaging, but a procedure is presented to facilitate this task and to provide more insight into and control over the composition of the datasets. The identification system is constructed, implemented, and tested for a real-world application of plastic identification in municipal solid waste.

Due to the advantages of the uncooled infrared focal plane array (UIFPA), it is widely used in various fields. To achieve more vivid image, the dimensions of infrared focal plane array need to be enlarged. Hence the high speed analog to digital converter (ADC) integrated on-chip needs to obtain the digital infrared imaging signal. We propose a new single slope ADC with half-period counter and two ramp generators to realize the high resolution digitizing, which can operate at much lower speed. The operation speed of this proposed single slope ADC can be decreased to the 25% of the conventional structure while the static characteristics are still good.
