Seed-quality is one of the most important factors for achieving the objectives of uniform
seedling establishment and high crop yield. In this work, we propose laser backscattering …

Seed-borne diseases play a crucial role in affecting the overall quality of seeds, efficient
disease management, and crop productivity in agriculture. Detection of seed-borne diseases …

There is a need for developing rapid and non-destructive techniques for the early detection
of seed-borne fungal pathogen because they can be an essential step towards adopting …

Laser biospeckle is an advanced optical technique with the ability to non-destructively
visualize various transient phenomenon via spatial and temporal statistics. However …

The use of a limited and inadequate storage facility for the storage of multiple food items for
an extended period of time results in the loss of structural integrity and freshness while …

Charcoal rot is one of the most destructive fungal diseases of soybean, caused by the
pathogen called Macrophomina phaseolina. This disease thrives in warm and dry …

In this letter, a novel point-based algorithm is presented for biospeckle sensors by
combining random temporal history, robust normalization, and absolute value difference …

Biospeckle patterns are observed in a specimen with temporal variations due to
physiological, biological or chemical activity. For biospeckle pattern analysis, various point …

The use of qualitative algorithms in images with dynamic speckle allows generating a three-
dimensional intensity map, which correlates with the sample activity. Samples in an …

Biological changes in imbibition characteristics of seeds are occurring worldwide due to
severe variations in environmental conditions, causing enormous ecological and …
