Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a method for blending of agricultural product utilizing hyperspectral imaging. At least one region along a sample of agricultural product is scanned using at least one light source of different wavelengths. Hyperspectral images are generated from the at least one region. A spectral fingerprint for the sample of agricultural product is formed from the hyperspectral images. A plurality of samples of agricultural product is blended based on the spectral fingerprints of the samples according to parameters determined by executing a blending algorithm.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method for replacing a blend component of a blended agricultural product with a substitute agricultural product, the method comprising: establishing a spectral fingerprint for an agricultural product blend component to be substituted; establishing a spectral fingerprint for a candidate agricultural product; identifying the candidate agricultural product as a substitute agricultural product based on a determination that the spectral fingerprint for the can…
