Esca is one of the most destructive vine diseases in the world. It causes significant economic losses, mainly due to reduced grape yield and quality. Currently, the approved methods of controlling esca include preventive methods such as the use of fungicides on plant wounds or the use of planting systems that do not require intensive pruning, among others. It is therefore advisable to monitor the crop to identify those vines that are susceptible to the disease. For this reason, in this study a proximal hyperspectral camera was used for early detection of esca presence in asymptomatic grapevine leaves. Images of 11 vines of the Tempranillo variety grown in Etxauri (Navarre, Spain) were analysed. Hyperspectral images were acquired using a Specim IQ snapshot camera, mounted on a tripod, working in the range of 400¿1000 nm with a spectral resolution of 7 nm (204 bands), and an image resolution of 512 × 512 pixel including an RGB camera (5 Mpix). The images were taken under natural ambient light conditions on August 21, 2023. From the 11 vines selected, 9 showed visual symptoms of esca and the remaining 2 were asymptomatic to the naked eye. A total of 200 pixels were randomly selected from the dataset, 100 from asymptomatic leaves of asymptomatic vines (class 1) and 100 from asymptomatic leaves of symptomatic vines (class 2). Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) was performed to classify the leaves into the two classes. Classification rates of 97% were achieved in the cross-validation dataset. Models were externally validated at pixel-level using one image of an asymptomatic vine and another of a symptomatic vine. The visualisation of the images confirmed the correct classification of the pixels into the two classes, indicating that by using proximal hyperspectral sensing an early identification of the disease is possible.

(Elsevier, 2025-03-27) Peraza Alemán, Carlos Miguel; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Ruiz de Galarreta, José Ignacio; Barandalla, Leire; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD
The determination of reducing sugars in potatoes is important due to their impact on product quality during industrial processing. The significant variability of these compounds between genotypes presents a challenge to the development of accurate predictive models. This study evaluated the potential of near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) for the prediction of reducing sugars in potatoes. For this, a wide range of genotypes (n=92) from two seasons (2020-2021) was selected. Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) and Support Vector Machine Regression (SVMR) methods were used to build the prediction models. Furthermore, interval PLS (iPLS), recursive weighted PLS (rPLS), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling (CARS) were used for relevant wavelength identification to develop less computationally complex models. The best full spectrum model (SNV-PLSR) achieved coefficient of determination and root mean square error values of 0.88 and 0.053% and 0.86 and 0.057%, for calibration and external validation, respectively. Variable selection algorithms successfully reduced the dimensionality of the data without compromising the performance of the models. Robust predicted models were built with only 2.65% (CARS-PLSR) and 3.57% (iPLS-SVMR) of the total wavelengths. Finally, a pixel-wise prediction was performed on the validation set and chemical images were built to visualise the spatial distribution of reducing sugars. This study demonstrated that NIR-HSI is a feasible technique for predicting reducing sugars in several potato genotypes.

Precise and reliable identification of specific plant diseases is a challenge within precision agriculture nowadays. This is the case of esca, a complex grapevine trunk disease, that represents a major threat to modern viticulture as it is responsible for large economic losses annually. The lack of effective control strategies and the complexity of esca disease expression make essential the identification of affected plants, before symptoms become evident, for a better management of the vineyard. This study evaluated the suitability of a near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system to detect esca disease in asymptomatic grapevine leaves of Tempranillo red-berried cultivar. For this, 72 leaves from an experimental vineyard, naturally infected with esca, were collected and scanned with a lab-scale HSI system in the 900-1700 nm spectral range. Then, effective image processing and multivariate analysis techniques were merged to develop pixel-based classification models for the distinction of healthy, asymptomatic and symptomatic leaves. Automatic and interval partial least squares variable selection methods were tested to identify the most relevant wavelengths for the detection of esca-affected vines using partial least squares discriminant analysis and different pre-processing techniques. Three-class and two-class classifiers were carried out to differentiate healthy, asymptomatic and symptomatic leaf pixels, and healthy from asymptomatic pixels, respectively. Both variable selection methods performed similarly, achieving good classification rates in the range of 82.77-97.17% in validation datasets for either three-class or two-class classifiers. The latter results demonstrated the capability of hyperspectral imaging to distinguish two groups of seemingly identical leaves (healthy and asymptomatic). These findings would ease the annual monitoring of disease incidence in the vineyard and, therefore, better crop management and decision making.

(Elsevier, 2025-03-14) Peraza Alemán, Carlos Miguel; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Ruiz de Galarreta, José Ignacio; Barandalla, Leire; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD
This study investigated the potential of near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) for the prediction of acrylamide content in potato chips. A total of 300 tubers from two potato varieties (Agria and Jaerla) grown in two seasons and processed under the same frying conditions were analysed. Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) and Support Vector Machine Regression (SVMR), combined with a logarithmic transformation of the acrylamide levels, were applied to develop predictive models. The most optimal outcomes for PLSR yielded R2 p: 0.85, RMSEP: 201 μg/kg and RPD: 2.53, while for SVMR yielded R2 p: 0.80, RMSEP: 229 μg/kg and RPD: 2.22. Furthermore, the selection of significant wavelengths enabled an 87.95 % reduction in variables without affecting the model’s accuracy. Finally, spatial mapping of acrylamide content was conducted on all chips in the external validation set. This method provides both quantification and visualization capabilities, thus enhancing quality control for acrylamide identification in processed potatoes.

The potential loss of world crop production from the effect of pests, including weeds, animal pests, pathogens and viruses has been quantifed as around 40%. In addition to the economic threat, plant diseases could have disastrous consequences for the environment. Accurate and timely disease detection requires the use of rapid and reliable techniques capable of identifying infected plants and providing the tools required to implement precision agriculture strategies. The combination of suitable remote sensing (RS) data and advanced analysis algorithms makes it possible to develop prescription maps for precision disease control. This chapter shows some case studies on the use of remote sensing technology in some of the world’s major crops; namely cotton, avocado and grapevines. In these case studies, RS has been applied to detect disease caused by fungi using different acquisition platforms at different scales, such as leaf-level hyperspectral data and canopy-level remote imagery taken from satellites, manned airplanes or helicopter, and UAVs. The results proved that remote sensing is useful, effcient and effective for identifying cotton root rot zones in cotton felds, laurel wilt-infested avocado trees and escaaffected vines, which would allow farmers to optimize inputs and feld operations, resulting in reduced yield losses and increased profts.

Imágenes hiperespectrales para el estudio de la respuesta a la deficiencia de nitrógeno de distintos cultivares de patata
(Sociedad Española de Ciencias Hortícolas, 2021) López Maestresalas, Ainara; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Ruiz de Galarreta, José Ignacio; Álvarez Morezuelas, Alba; Barandalla, Leire; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza
El cambio climático es uno de los mayores retos de la agricultura moderna. El aumento del rendimiento de los cultivos en el futuro sólo será posible si pueden hacer frente a las consecuencias del cambio climático causado por el aumento de CO2 en la atmósfera. En el cultivo de la patata es muy probable que los estreses abióticos se incrementen considerablemente comprometiendo la sostenibilidad de su producción. A largo plazo, las condiciones de elevado CO2 podrían alterar la toma y transporte de nutrientes, particularmente del nitrógeno (N). Esto conlleva la necesidad de seleccionar cultivares que por sus características genéticas, fisiológicas y agronómicas se adapten mejor a las condiciones del cambio climático global, particularmente a la eficiencia en el uso del N. Para ello, en este estudio, se ha empleado la tecnología de imágenes hiperespectrales con el objetivo de desarrollar modelos de clasificación de variedades más eficientes en el uso del N. Se han muestreado plantas de dos campos experimentales: control y con una reducción del 75% de aporte de N. Se han adquirido imágenes hiperespectrales de 120 hojas de las plantas control y 120 de plantas sometidas a una reducción del 75% de aporte de N. Se han aplicado métodos multivariantes de clasificación para comprobar el potencial de las imágenes hiperespectrales en la identificación de cultivares de patata mejor adaptados a una deficiencia de N, con resultados prometedores. Además, para evaluar la respuesta de las plantas a las diferentes dosis de N, se analizará el contenido total de N, lo que permitirá evaluar la eficiencia en el uso del N en función de la productividad, así como la concentración de metabolitos nitrogenados.

The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's fifth most important staple food with high socioeconomic relevance. Several potato cultivars obtained by selection and crossbreeding are currently on the market. This diversity causes tubers to exhibit different behaviors depending on the processing to which they are subjected. Therefore, it is interesting to identify cultivars with specific characteristics that best suit consumer preferences. In this work, we present a method to classify potatoes according to their cooking or frying as crisps aptitude using NIR hyperspectral imaging (HIS) combined with a Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA). Two classification approaches were used in this study. First, a classification model using the mean spectra of a dataset composed of 80 tubers belonging to 10 different cultivars. Then, a pixel-wise classification using all the pixels of each sample of a small subset of samples comprised of 30 tubers. Hyperspectral images were acquired using fresh-cut potato slices as sample material placed on a mobile platform of a hyperspectral system in the NIR range from 900 to 1,700 nm. After image processing, PLS-DA models were built using different pre-processing combinations. Excellent accuracy rates were obtained for the models developed using the mean spectra of all samples with 90% of tubers correctly classified in the external dataset. Pixel-wise classification models achieved lower accuracy rates between 66.62 and 71.97% in the external validation datasets. Moreover, a forward interval PLS (iPLS) method was used to build pixel-wise PLS-DA models reaching accuracies above 80 and 71% in cross-validation and external validation datasets, respectively. Best classification result was obtained using a subset of 100 wavelengths (20 intervals) with 71.86% of pixels correctly classified in the validation dataset. Classification maps were generated showing that false negative pixels were mainly located at the edges of the fresh-cut slices while false positive were principally distributed at the central pith, which has singular characteristics.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important crops in the world being considered as a staple food in many developing countries. The potato industry like other vegetable and fruit industries is subject to the current demand of quality products. In order to meet this challenge, the food industry is relying on the adoption of nondestructive and environmentally friendly techniques to determine quality of products. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is currently one of the most advanced nondestructive technologies regarding instrumentation and application, and it also complies with the environment requirements as it does not generate emissions or waste. This paper reviews research progress on the analysis of potatoes by NIRS both in terms of determination of constituents and classification according to the different constituents of the tubers. A brief description of the fundamentals of NIRS technology and its advantages over other quality assessment techniques is included. Finally, future prospects of the development of NIRS technology at the industrial level are explored.

Las cosechadoras de cereales, por las condiciones ambientales en las que trabajan, alta temperatura y baja humedad, tanto ambiental como del producto que están cosechando, pueden provocar accidentalmente incendios durante la época de recolección. Los daños económicos y medioambientales que estos incendios suponen pueden ser muy importantes, ya que las condiciones de propagación del fuego son óptimas. Los principales objetivos de este proyecto han sido evaluar el impacto ambiental de los incendios producidos en Navarra en los últimos años y establecer una guía de buenas prácticas para su prevención.
