Key Findings
- The study from Nanjing Agricultural University developed a non-destructive method using near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) to monitor radish seed germination
- NIR-HSI allows for rapid and accurate assessment of seed quality without damaging the seeds, improving efficiency over traditional methods
- The method achieved a high classification accuracy of 93.67% in identifying seed vitality, demonstrating its potential for industrial seed sorting applications
