All dimensions of these products were measured with a calliper. These samples were chosen randomly from newly harvested apples which were grown at Ankara University, Agriculture Faculty, Department of Horticulture apple garden.
#Granny smith apple color skin#
Golden Delicious, Granny Smith and Stark Crimson apple varieties were selected because of their skin colour properties. Yurtlu and Erdogan evaluated bruise susceptibility of Williams pear and Golden Delicious and Starking apples by using compression and impact tests 9. They compared the measurement accuracy of their data which were obtained from image analysis technique and planimeter measurements. Is ı k and Guler determined the surface areas of Golden Delicious apples in their study 3. They stressed that the developed hardware and algorithm were effective in determining the damaged surfaces. They acquired image of apples from four directions simultaneously and developed a technology based on their experiments.

6 studied the damaged apple surfaces by using image analysis techniques. Berangan bananas were stored at 5, 10 and 15 ° C for 16 days to evaluate the degree of browning (DOB) and peel colour (L*, C* and h ° ). Berangan (AAA)) during storage at low temperature. 11 have studied to characterize chilling injury development of Berangan banana ( Musa cv. 7 worked on a computer imaging system which measured and captured standard sRGB colour, HSV and L*a*b* colour space of vegetable and fruit images. They have given examples in using image analysis technique for detection of disease, defects and contamination for modern food inspectation. 1 reviewed machine vision applications in agricultural area. However, detection of defects is still a problem due to high variance of defect types. Many studies were conducted for detection of defects. Industrial automated machine vision systems are already used for inspection of apples according to size and colour. Computer vision has been successfully adopted for the quality analysis of food 15. Therefore, it is important to distinguish the bruised apples from the non-bruised ones 10. Income from fruit and vegetables is affected by the quality of produce. It is clear from the literature that bruising is an important problem in terms of quality. Bruising has been defined as damage to plant tissue causing physical change in texture and colour. The colour of fruit surface is the first decision tool for consumers’ acceptance or rejection of food products 5. This is critical for acceptance of the product in the market. The first quality parameter important for consumers is colour of the food surface. Quality of apple fruit depends on size, colour, shape and type of skin defects according to the international marketing standards. A high quality fruit sample cannot include fruits affected by negative textural attributes 12. The fresh fruit market relies on external quality of products 8. The factors causing damage on fruits are size of fruits, fall height of fruit, the kind of contact surface, the number of contact, contact energy and ripeness stage of fruit 14. major fruit quality loss is caused by bruise damage due to dynamic and static impact loads. Johanne said Cummings was really generous with his time and assisted the Smith's with all the fine details associated with the restoration. Mathew Cummings, project architect for Cummings Architects, helped the Smith's determine what needed to be done in order to restore the house. The finished product is a grand and gracious home that is a testament to the investment of everyone involved.Įxcerpt from Wicked Local Ipswich - Before proceeding with the purchase, Johanne said she and her husband wanted to make sure the house was worth saving. As with all our work on historic homes, we took special care to preserve the building’s authenticity while allowing for the integration of modern comforts and amenities. We worked closely with the dedicated homeowners and a team of specialist craftsmen – first to assess the situation and devise a strategy for the work, and then on the design of the addition and indoor renovations. 1687) First Period home in Ipswich, Massachusetts. This extensive restoration project involved dismantling, moving, and reassembling this historic (c.
