摘要：Quality differences between organic and conventional fresh tomatoes (unprocessed) and frozen tomatoes(processed) are evaluated by using a capillary rising picture method (capillary dynamolysis). The best pictures showingthe differences most sharply between organic and conventional samples were prepared with 0.25-0.75% silver nitrate,0.25-0.75% iron sulphate and 30-100% sample concentration. But visual description and analysis of these images isa major challenge. Therefore, a novel methodology called Gram-Charlier Neural Network methodology (GCNN) hasbeen studied to classify these images. Two separate GCNNs have been created for fresh and frozen cases. They aretrained with the pictures of organic and conventional tomato samples from these two cases. The 2048 x 1536 pixelchromatogram images were acquired in a lab and cropped to 1400 x 900 pixel images depicting either a conventionaltomato or an organic tomato for each case. A set of 20 images from each case was utilized to train each Gram-Charlier Neural Network. A new set of 4 images from each case was then prepared to test each GCNN performance.In addition, Hinton diagrams were utilized to display the optimality of the GCNN weights. Overall, the GCNN achievedan average recognition performance of 100%. This high level of recognition suggests that the GCNN is a promisingmethod for the discrimination of capillary dynamolysis images and its performance does not depend on whether thetomato sample is fresh or frozen.
