Real-time detection of apples infested with codling moth using x-ray.

Author: Ron Haff, Jim Hansen

Published: 2004

Summary: The principle objective was to demonstrate the potential of x-ray technology to identify apples that have been infested with coddling moth and the feasibility of installing x-ray equipment on the apple processing line for the identification and removal of infested fruit. A secondary objective was to also identify apples with other defects such as watercore and core rot.
