  1. 11. The use of hyperspectral sensors for quality assessment : A quantitative study of moisture content in indoor vertical farming

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Arezo Ahaddi; Zeineb Al-Husseini; [2023]
    Keywords : Hyperspectral Imaging; lettuce; moisture content; NIR; near-infrared spectroscopy; shelf life; quality assessment; vertical farming; MicroNIR;

    Abstract : Purpose: This research will study how hyperspectral sensoring can assess the moisture content of lettuce by monitoring its growth in indoor vertical farming. Research questions: “What accuracy can be achieved when using hyperspectral sensoring for assessing the moisture content of lettuce leaves grown in vertical farming?” “How can vertical farming contribute to sustainability in conjunction with integration of NIR spectroscopy?” Methodology: This study is an experimental study with a deductive approach in which experiments have been performed using the hyperspectral technologies singlespot sensor and the hyperspectral camera Specim FX17 to collect spectral data.
