Abstract: We present a histogram layer for artificial neural networks (ANNs). An essential aspect of texture analysis is the extraction of features that describe the distribution of values in local spatial regions. The proposed histogram layer directly computes the spatial… Read More

DIVERGENCE REGULATED ENCODER NETWORK FOR JOINT DIMENSIONALITY REDUCTION AND CLASSIFICATION
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate performing joint dimensionality reduction and classification using a novel histogram neural network. Motivated by a popular dimensionality reduction approach, t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE), our proposed method incorporates a classification loss computed on samples… Read More
EVALUATION OF POSTHARVEST SENESCENCE IN BROCCOLI VIA HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING
Abstract: Fresh fruits and vegetables are invaluable for human health, but their quality deteriorates before reaching consumers due to ongoing biochemical processes and compositional changes. The current lack of any objective indices for defining “freshness” of fruits or vegetables limits… Read More
STEWART PRESENTS FOR STEVENSON ELEMENTARY “ENGINEERING WEEK”
Dylan Stewart recently presented as a guest speaker for Stevenson Elementary School’s “Engineering Week”. During his presentation, Dylan showed a class of Russellville, KY first graders how he flies drones to “help farmers find healthy and dead plants”. Additionally,… Read More

Peanut Maturity Classification using Hyperspectral Imagery
Abstract: Seed maturity in peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) determines economic return to a producer because of its impact on seed weight, and critically influences seed vigor and other quality characteristics. During seed development, the inner mesocarp layer of the… Read More
Cross-site learning in deep learning RGB tree crown detection
Abstract: Tree detection is a fundamental task in remote sensing for forestry and ecosystem ecology applications. While many individual tree segmentation algorithms have been proposed, the development and testing of these algorithms is typically site specific, with few methods evaluated… Read More
Congratualtions to Guohao Yu for a Successful Proposal Defense!
Congratulations to our labmate Guahao Yu for successfully defending his research proposal! Defending an oral research proposal is the second of four milestones to completing a Ph.D. at the University of Florida. Guohao is planning to advance image segmentation techniques… Read More
