New Technologies for Other Seeds Determination

Multispectral imaging (MSI) is new technology with the potential to improve the accuracy, consistency and speed of testing. Traditional features like seed size, shape and colour are extracted from images captured at specific wavelengths. In addition, MSI provides information about seed surface structures and biochemistry - which are not "visible" to the human eye. These features provide a new opportunity of determining seed quality parameters such as morphological and biochemical characteristics of the seed coat.
