This research was devised to evaluate Computed Tomography (CT) for asparagus fibrousness detection
and more specifically develop and test an automatic image analysis method (algorithm) to classify CT
images obtained from 859 asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) segment (samples), collected during two
harvesting seasons (2014 and 2015). Classification accuracy was calculated by comparing the classes
obtained using a combination of imaging, image processing, feature extraction, and classification
schemes per asparagus segment against an industry-simulated invasive quality assessment.
