seed-viability testing methods rely on conventional manual inspections, which use
destructive, labor-intensive and time-consuming measurements. The aim of this study is to
distinguish between viable and nonviable soybean seeds, using a near-infrared (NIR)
hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technique in a rapid and nondestructive manner. The data
extracted from the NIR–HSI of viable and nonviable soybean seeds were analyzed using a …
