Thermal imaging has the potential to measure the object’s surface temperature. This study investigated the thermal behavior of mango fruit stored in a refrigerated environment. Thermal images of the fruit were collected with sufficient quality by supplying hot air to the acquisition environment. Grey-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features of mango images were determined to distinguish the subtle and noticeable changes. The thermal images were analyzed to find the temperature difference between the different regions of the fruit. The temperature of the bruise boundary (T
bd
) was higher than the bruised center (T
C
) throughout the storage period. In addition, an enhanced deep-learning model was used to predict the damaged mango. Over 10 days, 3500 thermal images were obtained from the 400 mangoes. In that, 80 % of the images were used for training, 10 % for testing, and 10 % for validation. The model achieved a classification accuracy of 99.6 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
