Near-infrared spectroscopy combined with partial least squares regression (PLSR) and support vector machine (SVM) was applied for the rapid determination of chemical component of volatile oil content in Mentha haplocalyx. The effects of data pre-processing methods on the accuracy of the PLSR calibration models were investigated. The performance of the final model was evaluated according to the ...

In this paper we shall consider some famous means such as arithmetic, harmonic, geometric, root square mean, etc. Considering the difference of these means, we can establish [5, 6]. some inequalities among them. Interestingly, the difference of mean considered is convex functions. Applying some properties, upper bounds on the probability of error are established in this paper. It is also shown ...

BACKGROUND The complex skeletal deformations that accompany Idioapthic Scoliosis pose a challenge to the clinician to non-invasively discriminate Idiopathic Scoliosis patients from children with no pathology. Therefore, the focus of this study is to non-invasively evaluate the position and amplitude of displacement of the pelvis, shoulders and thorax during quiet standing of Idiopathic Scoliosi...

-In this study, impacts of vector quantization compression on prediction of leaf chlorophyll content of crops for the application to precision agriculture were evaluated. The compression algorithm tested in this paper is called successive approximation multi-stage vector quantization (SAMVQ). The hyperspectral data used were acquired by CASI over corn fields at L’ Acadie experimental farm (Agri...

We propose data-driven approaches to water content estimation and ripeness classification of the strawberry fruit. A narrowband hyperspectral spectroradiometer was used collect reflectance signatures from 43 fruits at different levels. Then, ground truth obtained using oven-dry method. To estimate content, 674 698 nm bands were selected create a normalized difference index. The index as an inpu...
