Abstract

See full text

An aspect of the invention provides a method for determining at least one internal quality attribute of an article (102) of agricultural produce. The method includes receiving a plurality of first spectroscopic values obtained from directing low band light in a first wavelength associated to a low band of wavelengths from at least one low band light source (104) at least partly through the article (102) toward at least one detector (120); receiving a plurality of second spectroscopic values obtained from directing high band light in a second wavelength associated to a high band of wavelengths from at least one high band light source (106) at least partly through the article (102) toward the at least one detector (120); determining at least one measured spatial profile associated to the article, the at least one measured spatial profile comprising at least one of a plurality of ratios of respective first spectroscopic values to respective second spectroscopic values, a plurality of ratios of respective second spectroscopic values to respective first spectroscopic values; and determining the at least one internal quality attribute at least partly from a comparison of the at least one measured spatial profile with at least one reference spatial profile associated to a class of articles of agricultural produce.
