Este estudio, realizado en la cuenca del río Chinchiná, Colombia, plantea un análisis multimodelo para capturar la incertidumbre asociada con la modelación hidrológica, mediante la aplicación de siete modelos hidrológicos, lluvia-escorrentía de simulación continua, agregados a escala mensual, con diferentes niveles de complejidad. La capacidad de reflejar la respuesta hidrológica fue analizada por métodos gráficos y estadísticos. Los resultados expresados en los indicadores estadísticos, los hidrogramas y las curvas de duración de caudales permiten una mejor compresión de la escorrentía en cuencas de alta montaña. Los modelos conceptuales Tetis, abcd y el modelo autoregresivo ARMA (1,1) Salas & Smith capturaron de manera satisfactoria la descarga media y podrían ser aplicados para la estimación en cuencas no a...

Physical-mechanical characterization of coffee fruits Coffea arabica L. var. Castillo classified by a colorimetry approach

Ripeness stage characterization of coffee fruits (coffea arabica L. var. Castillo) applying chromaticity maps obtained from digital images

However, the scarcity of workforce has become a new challenge for developing technologies that can be used in situations that traditional mechanized harvesters cannot be implemented. The classification of coffee fruits through the ripeness could help create selective harvesting methods from the different engineering fields (robotic, artificial vision, vibratory systems, etc.). This study describes a methodology to characterize the coffee fruit ripeness (Coffea arabica var. Castillo) using color maps obtained from digital image processing and colorimetry. Ninety-two samples were measured, and for each sample, a digital image was processed to extract the most representative color with an algorithm (RGB space), and parallel to this, the chromaticity was measured with a colorimeter (CIELab space). Both color spaces were related through linear transformations computed from the data. Results show that the ripeness classification is well defined in both color spaces; however, RGB space was divided into four ripening since the ripeness timeline was linearly represented. Through the transformations, the image data were contrasted with those measured with the colorimeter, which demonstrated that it could be converted in a colorimeter under certain specific conditions.

Experimental Assessment of the Elastic Properties of Exocarp–Mesocarp and Beans of Coffea arabica L. var. Castillo Using Indentation Tests

Agriculture, 2022

The elastic properties of the mesocarp–exocarp and bean are not described in the literature due to the difficulty of characterizing these locally, since measuring each component of the coffee fruit structure (mesocarp–exocarp and bean) is not an easy task. However, determining the elastic properties (of the mesocarp–exocarp and bean) could help create realistic simulations as an initial estimation for selective coffee harvesting studies. The present work aims to bridge the gap in the mechanical characterization of the sub-structures of the coffee fruits by assessing the elastic properties of the mesocarp–exocarp and bean. Indentation tests were performed on eighty Cof...

The VCM is extracted from a recycled hard disk drive (HDD) and it is adapted for carrying out experimental tests of energy harvesting. Two individuals were selected for walking with the VCM-beam device as well as to evaluate the performance varying two parameters in the beam; length of the beams and a mass addition. Results show that the energy harvesting is maximized with specific beams; however, the harvesting efficiency is improved when a mass is added to the end of the beams.

This paper developed a methodology to model Valencia orange (Citrus sinensis), applying Bézier curves and an image-based CAD approach; the orange geometry was designed for different ripening stages. In the modeling process, a 3D construction was carried out using third-order Bézier curves, adjusted to the images taken in orthogonal planes. Four control points defined each profile to compose the geometric pattern of the orange, with geometric errors lower than 3%. Two prediction models were proposed to relate the orthogonal dimensions with a factor size; this means that two dimensions out of three can be predicted. The results showed that the shape ratios kept constant in any ripening stage; however, the radius of curvature evidenced differences in t...

This study, conducted in the Chinchina river watershed (Colombia), poses a multimodel analysis in order to capture the uncertainty associated with the hydrological modelling by means of seven hydrological models, continuous simulation rain-runoff, monthly-scale aggregates, with different complexity levels. The capability to reflect the hydrological response was analyzed through graphical and statistical methods. The results exhibited in the statistical indicators, the hydrographs, and the discharge duration curves allow a better compression of the runoff in high-mountain watersheds. The Tetis and abcd concept models, as well as the ARMA (1,1) Salas & Smith auto-regressive model, satisfactorily captured the mean discharge, and they could be applied for the estimation in non-appraised wat...
