Meeting . @2006 Authors: Renfu Lu, Jianwei Qin, and Yankun Peng
Keywords: Hyperspectral imaging, near-infrared spectroscopy,
apples, fruit, absorption, scattering, optical properties
Absorption and reduced scattering coefficients are two
fundamental optical properties for turbid materials. The
objective of this research was to use a newly developed
hyperspectral imaging technique for determining the absorption
and reduced scattering coefficients of apples and to relate them
to fruit firmness and soluble solids conten
