  • Development of phantoms (gold standards)
  • Influence of outdoor light conditions
  • Changes of recognized parameters in on-site monitoring as a function of time
  • Remote inspection of farms, greenhouses, fish farms, etc.
  • Crop monitoring and weed detection
  • New methods and technologies of image acquisition and processing
  • Multispectral, hyperspectral or thermal imaging
  • Spectroscopy
  • Microscopic imaging, microstructure analysis
  • Data mining, segmentation techniques, feature selection, etc…
  • Inspection of quality of fresh and processed agricultural products
  • Real-time image processing

PRESENTATION
Optical systems for agricultural products and processes have grown considerably in recent years due to the increase of their technological capacity and lower prices of equipment. These systems allow the automation of tasks and analysis in regions of the electromagnetic spectrum that are invisible to the human eye, can penetrate into the tissues and are capable of inspecting products at a high speed that would otherwise not be possible. The rapid advances of this technology open lines of research: hyperspectral imaging, spectroscopy, microscopic imaging, real-time inspection, thermal imaging, etc. This causes a constant need to develop new methods, systems and algorithms capable to deal with the large amount of information provided by these systems, and to create innovative developments that can be transferred to the industry.

The IV International Workshop on Computer Image Analysis in Agriculture is a forum for scientists, engineers and managers involved in the development of new techniques of computer vision and spectroscopy for agricultural applications in order to share knowledge in this field and achieve an improvement in productivity. With your participation, we are confident that the Workshop will be a great success.
