Publication Open Access Hyperspectral imaging using notions from type-2 fuzzy sets(Springer, 2019) López Maestresalas, Ainara; Miguel Turullols, Laura de; López Molina, Carlos; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaFuzzy set theory has developed a prolific armamentarium of mathematical tools for each of the topics that has fallen within its scope. One of such topics is data comparison, for which a range of operators has been presented in the past. These operators can be used within the fuzzy set theory, but can also be ported to other scenarios in which data are provided in various representations. In this work, we elaborate on notions for type-2 fuzzy sets, specifically for the comparison of type-2 fuzzy membership degrees, to create function comparison operators. We further apply these operators to hyperspectral imaging, in which pixelwise data are provided as functions over a certain energy spectra. The performance of the functional comparison operators is put to the test in the context of in-laboratory hyperspectral image segmentation.Publication Open Access Exploring the potential of hyperspectral imaging to detect Esca disease complex in asymptomatic grapevine leaves(Elsevier, 2022) Pérez Roncal, Claudia; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; López Molina, Carlos; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Santesteban García, Gonzaga; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Ingeniaritza; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Agronomia, Bioteknologia eta Elikadura; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Ingeniería; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Agronomía, Biotecnología y Alimentación; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaPrecise 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.Publication Open Access Proyecto Agroinc: prevención del impacto ambiental de incendios provocados por cosechadoras(Interempresasmedia, 2022) Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Mangado Ederra, Jesús; López Maestresalas, Ainara; López Molina, Carlos; Angulo Muñoz, Blanca; Arnal Atarés, Pedro; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Proyectos e Ingeniería Rural; Landa Ingeniaritza eta Proiektuak; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako GobernuaLas 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.Publication Open Access Evaluation of near-infrared hyperspectral imaging for the assessment of potato processing aptitude(Frontiers Media, 2022) López Maestresalas, Ainara; López Molina, Carlos; Oliva Lobo, Gil Alfonso; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Ruiz de Galarreta, José Ignacio; Peraza Alemán, Carlos Miguel; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Ingeniaritza; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Ingeniería; Estadística, Informática y MatemáticasThe 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.Publication Open Access Applications of sensing for disease detection(Springer, 2021) Castro, Ana Isabel de; Pérez Roncal, Claudia; Thomasson, J.

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.Publication Open Access Hyperspectral imaging to assess the presence of powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) in cv. Carignan Noir grapevine bunches(MDPI, 2020) Pérez Roncal, Claudia; López Maestresalas, Ainara; López Molina, Carlos; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Urrestarazu Vidart, Jorge; Santesteban García, Gonzaga; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Ingeniería; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Agronomía, Biotecnología y Alimentación; Ingeniaritza; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Agronomia, Bioteknologia eta Elikadura; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, Proyecto DECIVID (Res.104E/2017); Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, FPI-UPNA-2017 (Res.654/2017)Powdery mildew is a worldwide major fungal disease for grapevine, which adversely affects both crop yield and produce quality. Disease identification is based on visible signs of a pathogen once the plant has already been infected; therefore, techniques that allow objective diagnosis of the disease are currently needed. In this study, the potential of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology to assess the presence of powdery mildew in grapevine bunches was evaluated. Thirty Carignan Noir grape bunches, 15 healthy and 15 infected, were analyzed using a lab-scale HSI system (900–1700 nm spectral range). Image processing was performed to extract spectral and spatial image features and then, classification models by means of Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) were carried out for healthy and infected pixels distinction within grape bunches. The best discrimination was achieved for the PLS-DA model with smoothing (SM), Standard Normal Variate (SNV) and mean centering (MC) pre-processing combination, reaching an accuracy of 85.33% in the cross-validation model and a satisfactory classification and spatial location of either healthy or infected pixels in the external validation. The obtained results suggested that HSI technology combined with chemometrics could be used for the detection of powdery mildew in black grapevine bunches.
