Applying convolutional neural networks to X-ray images to improve postharvest detection of fruit fly infestation

Early detection of fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) infestation in traded fruit is important for maintaining phytosanitary security, particularly for quarantine pests. This study evaluated the integration of micro-focus X-ray computed tomography (µCT) and deep learning as a non-d...
