Hyperspectral imaging and cnn for on‐the‐go, non‐destructive assessment of grape composition in the vineyard

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study ‐ Knowledge of the spatial‐temporal variation of the grape composition within a vineyard may assist decision making regarding sampling and vineyard management, especially if selective harvest is aimed. To have a truthful picture of the spatial‐temporal dynamics of grape composition evolution during ripening in a vineyard, a huge amount of measurements at different timings and spatial positions are required. Unfortunately, the quick in‐field measurement of a vast number of samples is very hard for simple variables such as total soluble solids (TSS), and impossible in the case of analyzing secondary metabolites, like anthocyanin concentrations. The goal of this study was the in‐field assessment and mapping of the TSS, acidity parameters and anthocyanin concentrations in a Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) vineyard, using non‐destructive, on‐the‐go hyperspectral imaging (HSI).

Material and methods ‐ HSI of grapevine canopies was carried out using a line‐scan hyperspectral camera working in the Vis‐NIR range (400‐1000 nm) installed in all‐terrain‐vehicle, moving at 5 km/h in a commercial Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) vineyard, under natural illumination conditions. Measurements were carried out at several dates during the ripening period over two consecutive seasons in 2017 and 2018. TSS, titratable acidity (TA), pH and anthocyanin concentrations analyses were also performed using gold standard, wet chemistry methods for model building and validation purposes. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) were applied for the development of regression models. The prediction results from the regression models were used for mapping (using GIS software) the evolution and distribution of grape composition in time–several datesand space–the vineyard plot.

Results ‐ Prediction models were generated for the different grape composition parameters, yielding 2 determination coefficients (R ) above 0.85 for TSS and TA and ~0.70 for pH and anthocyanin concentrations respectively. The built maps illustrated the seasonal dynamics of TSS and anthocyanin accumulation in the studied vineyard. The obtained results evidenced the potential of hyperspectral imaging acquired on‐the‐go for the non‐destructive, robust and massive assessment of TSS and total anthocyanin contents in grape berries in the vineyard. HIS may become a useful tool for decision‐ making on harvest selection and berry fate for winemaking.

Barbera d’Asti: the characterization of the vineyard sites

[English version below]

L’objectif de l’étude est de mettre en évidence les différences rencontrées entre les vins Barbera d’Asti, qui sont produits en AOC. Celles-ci sont imputées aux terroirs caractérisés selon les facteurs pédologiques, climatiques, et qui conduisent à des différents potentiels viticoles et œnologiques. Il est proposé une individualisation des sous-zones.

Qualitative modelling of factors influencing the development of Black rot, for the prediction of damage to bunches

Vines are one of the most pesticide-intensive crops in France, and reducing their use is a major challenge for both the environment and human health.

Oxidability of wines made from Spanish minority grape varieties

The phenolic profile of a wine plays an essential role in its oxidative capacity and in both white and red wines it defines its shelf life[1]. The study of minority varieties to produce wines with peculiar characteristics necessarily includes the phenolic and oxidative characterization of the wines produced. This paper presents the study of wines made from 24 minority and majority white and red grape varieties, focusing on phenolic characteristics (total phenols, slightly polymerized phenols, highly polymerized phenols, anthocyanins…), color, as well as parameters related to the oxidability of the wines and their capacity to consume oxygen [2].

Influence of dipping pretreatments in drying of ‘Pedro Ximenez’ grapes in chamber at controlled temperature

The influence of dipping pretreatments on drying of ‘Pedro Ximenez’ grapes, destined to the elaboration of sweet wines, in chamber at controlled temperature, has been studied. Changes in color and phenolic composition of raisins produced were observed during the process of raisining.

Vine phenology and climate in Bordeaux, since the beginning of the XIXth century

We analyze the effects of climate (temperature and pluviometry) on the phenologic stages of the vine (débourrement, flowering, ripening and grape harvest). We rebuilt time series starting from the beginning of the XIXth century for the Medoc and the area of Bordeaux, data very seldom mobilized by researchers.
