In this study, visible-near infrared spectroscopy and mid-infrared spectroscopy were compared to evaluate their applicability in classifying citrus leaves infected with canker and Huanglongbing (HLB) from healthy citrus leaves. The visible-near infrared spectra in the range 350-2,500 nm and mid-infrared spectra in the range of 5.15-10.72 μm were collected from healthy and diseased (canker, HLB)...

In India and across the globe, liver disease is a serious area of concern in medicine. Therefore, it becomes essential to use classification algorithms for assessing the disease in order to improve the efficiency of medical diagnosis which eventually leads to appropriate and timely treatment. The study accordingly implemented various classification algorithms including linear discriminant analy...

Introduction. The production of regional food with local and cultural identity has become an attractive business for small-scale producers because it allows them to market their products highlighting ingredients traditional processing that reflects the know-how each region. One example is Pasta filata cheese. Objective. To identify sensory characteristics level liking Costa Rican cheeses (Palmi...

In this paper, we study high-dimensional sparse Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) and aim to establish the optimal convergence rates for classification error. Minimax lower bounds are established demonstrate necessity of structural assumptions such as sparsity conditions on discriminating direction differential graph possible construction consistent QDA rules. We then propose a algorithm ca...

Clouds play a major role in Earth’s climate and cloud detection is a crucial step in the processing of satellite observations in support of radiation budget, numerical weather prediction and global climate model studies. To advance the observational capabilities of detecting clouds and retrieving their cloud-top altitudes, NASA launched the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) in 1999, ...

Aims: To develop and apply a quality index method (QIM) scheme for evaluating the freshness estimating shelf life of raw whole Japanese flying squid (Todarodes pacificus) stored at low temperatures.
 Study design: A QIM was developed through pre-observation formation preliminary scheme, finalization protocol training judges. The then applied to evaluate in comparison with control methods, ...

Security is the major concern for today’s scenario. A high level industry uses passwords like thumb, face, voice, iris, etc. So many security systems are available, but not reliable. The biometric details are very useful and essential one of the developing security world, but the biometric details are made fake by the hackers. There are so many methods used to authentication the biometric detai...
