This paper presents a miniature spectrometer fabricated based on a G-Fresnel optical device (i.e., diffraction grating and Fresnel lens) and operated by an image-processing algorithm, with an emphasis on the color space conversion in the range of visible light. The miniature spectrometer will be cost-effective and consists of a compact G-Fresnel optical device, which diffuses mixed visible light into the spectral image and a μ-processor platform embedded with an image-processing algorithm. The RGB color space commonly used in the image signal from a complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS)-type image sensor is converted into the HSV color space, which is one of the most common methods to express color as a numeric value using hue (H), saturation (S), and value (V) via the color space conversion algorithm. Because the HSV color space has the advantages of expressing not only the three primary colors of light as the H but also its intensity as the V, it was possible to obtain both the wavelength and intensity information of the visible light from its spectral image. This miniature spectrometer yielded nonlinear sensitivity of hue in terms of wavelength. In this study, we introduce the potential of the G-Fresnel optical device, which is a miniature spectrometer, and demonstrated by measurement of the mechanoluminescence (ML) spectrum as a proof of concept.

Main Input

In this study, the authors proposed an image processing algorithm to detect (measure) the rope length of container crane (distance from camera system to container spreader) and sway angle of the spearder (container). This measurement will be the main input to design the anti-sway control system for container cranes. The image processing algorithm includes the main steps: converting from BGR color space to HSV color space, then, binary image is used to extract the marker area. Next, the Canny boundary detection technique is applied to determine the boundary of the markers in the container spreader. The center location of each marker is determined and used to calculate the distance from the camera system to the container spreader is calculated. The rope length accuracy by the image processing algorithm is 99,79%. It is satisfied for crane control purpose.

Cooking Conditions

In this study, the machine vision and artificial intelligence algorithms were used to rapidly check the degree of cooking of foods and avoid the over-cooking of foods. Using a smart induction cooker for heating, the image processing program automatically recognizes the color of the food before and after cooking. The new cooking parameters were used to identify the cooking conditions of the food when it is undercooked, cooked, and overcooked. In the research, the camera was used in combination with the software for development, and the real-time image processing technology was used to obtain the information of the color of the food, and through calculation parameters, the cooking status of the food was monitored. In the second year, using the color space conversion, a novel algorithm, and artificial intelligence, the foreground segmentation was used to separate the vegetables from the background, and the cooking ripeness, cooking unevenness, oil glossiness, and sauce absorption were calculated. The image color difference and the distribution were used to judge the cooking conditions of the food, so that the cooking system can identify whether or not to adopt partial tumbling, or to end a cooking operation. A novel artificial intelligence algorithm is used in the relative field, and the error rate can be reduced to 3%. This work will significantly help researchers working in the advanced cooking devices.

AbstractThis study was carried out to develop a prediction model for soluble solid content (SSC) of intact chestnut and to detect internal defects using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Inversion recovery and Carr–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill (CPMG) pulse sequences used to determine the longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) relaxation times, respectively. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) was adopted to predict SSCs of chestnuts with NMR data and histograms from MR images. The coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD), and the ratio of error range (RER) of the optimized model to predict SSC were 0.77, 1.41 °Brix, 1.86, and 11.31 with a validation set. Furthermore, an image-processing algorithm has been developed to detect internal defects such as decay, mold, and cavity using MR images. The classification applied with the developed image processing algorithm was over 94% accurate to classify. Based on the results obtained, it was determined that the NMR signal could be applied for grading several levels by SSC, and MRI could be used to evaluate the internal qualities of chestnuts.

The paper contains an analysis and simulation of passive pixel based sensors. The passive pixel CMOS image acquisition sensor (PPS) is the key part of a visible image capture systems. The PPS is a complex circuit composed by an optical part and an electrical part, both analog and digital. The goal of this paper is to simulate the functionality of the photodetection process that happens in the PPS sensor. The photodetector is responsible with the conversion from photons to electrical charges and then into current. In the optical part, the sensor is analyzed by a spectral image processing algorithm which uses as input data: the lenses array transmittance, the red, green and blue filters and the quantum efficiency of the PPS. In the electrical part of simulation, the program is computing the signal to noise ratio of the sensor taking into account the photon shot, white and fixed pattern noises. Our basic analysis is based on camera equation to which we add the noises.
