Les images de très haute résolution spatiale sont utilisées depuis peu en viticulture comme une aide à la cartographie des zones de vendanges. A partir d’images multispectrales de très haute résolution spatiale IKONOS (résolution 4 m) et SPOT-5 en supermode (résolution 2.5 m), on propose ici une démarche de segmentation d’une région de vignoble en zones de vendanges.

The fruity aroma of red wines is described by a wide range of descriptors, ranging from fresh fruits to ripe and jammy fruits, to candied fruits and prunes notes [1]. The fruity quality of a red wine is characterized by notes of fresh and jammy red- and black-berry fruits.

The protein haze formation in white and rosé wines during storage, shipping and commercialization has always been an important issue for winemakers.

AIM The main lead exposure route is the intake of contaminated food, water, and alcoholic beverages, in particular wine. At the gastric level, Pb is transformed into a soluble compound which, when conveyed into the bloodstream, is the long-term cause of saturnism, intoxication with neurotoxic, nephrotoxic and hematopoietic effects, and with the neurological developmental delay of children. Pb is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a 2A class, possible carcinogenic to humans. In an opinion on possible health risks, CONTAM considered that cereals, vegetables, drinking water, and wine give a greater contribute to dietary exposure to Pb in Europe. Large quantities of wine, beer, and other alcoholic products drinking can increase daily Pb intake above the maximum permitted levels.
