Non-destructive detection by measuring the degree of maturity of oranges and tangerines with multispectral images.
The MADURESA project promotes innovative and disruptive technologies for the digitisation and improvement of the quality process in the agri-food sector, specifically in oranges and tangerines.
Artificial intelligence technologies applied in the world of agriculture use sensors to achieve precision agriculture that increases the yield and quality of production.
MADURESA evaluates the potential of two techniques: near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) for the analysis of multispectral images and analytical techniques for the determination of the most important maturity parameters of fruit quality.
In this sense, the project will apply a specific methodology to determine the optimal collection point by non-destructive methods of the sample.
Eurecat participates in the MADURESA project through its New Manufacturing Processes and Nutrition and Health Units, which characterise tangerines of the Clementine and Satsuma variety, as well as oranges of the Navel group and the Blanques group.
