Collaborative project: Acoustic resonance analysis for quality detection of horticultural products – using the example of hollow white asparagus and mealy pome and stone fruit – Subproject 1
Project
Project code: 2815305307
Contract period: 15.02.2008
- 14.02.2011
Budget: 172,226 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
The objective of this project is the development of an automated online sensing system for reliable and non-destructive classification of hollow white asparagus, mealy apples and woolly peaches. Specific quality determination will be realized on the basis of acoustic resonance analysis. After acquisition of acoustic fingerprints and the development of algorithms the assessment by comparing memorized models and samples will be done. A classification between tolerable quality changes and non-acceptable quality defects will be feasible. Basic investigation under laboratory conditions in connection with common horticultural reference tests, development and calibration of algorithms as well as tests under practical conditions will be done by a consortium of two SME’s and one scientific institute.
