Engineering for Intensive Cropping Application of plant sensors in digital twins

Non-destructive sensors are well established in horticultural research and are used in practice, for example, in manual quality analyses of fruit and vegetables, sorting lines, fruit ripening process, and storage. In current research work, hyperspectral imaging systems as well as laser scanners (monochrome and multispectral approaches) are primarily investigated providing the data base for spatially resolved analyses. Concepts for the use of digital data in process control are presently being developed in the area of fresh, perishable produces.
