Vine field monitoring using high resolution remote sensing images: segmentation and characterization of rows of vines

Abstract

A new framework for the segmentation and characterization of row crops on remote sensing images has been developed and validated for vineyard monitoring. This framework operates on any high-resolution remote sensing images since it is mainly based on geometric information. It aims at obtaining maps describing the variation of a vegetation index such as NDVI along each row of a parcel.
The framework consists in several steps. First, the segmentation step allows the delineation of the parcel under consideration. A region-growing algorithm, based on the textural properties of row crops, was developed for this purpose. Once the parcel under consideration is delineated, a boundary smoothing process is applied and the row detection process begins. Row detection operates by means of an active contour model based on a network of parallel lines. The last step is the design of vegetative vigor maps. Row vigor is computed using pixels neighboring the lines of the network. Once row vigor is obtained on the rows, 2D vigor-maps are constructed. The values measured on the row are propagated to the inter-row pixels, producing «continuous» vigor maps ready to be exported to a GIS software. We successfully exercised our framework on vineyard images. The resulting parcel segmentations and row detections were accurate and the overall computational time was acceptable.

Identification and quantification of c-glucosidic ellagitannins and their derivative in red wine aged in oak barrels

The C-glycosidic ellagitannins constitute a subclass of hydrolyzable tannins of remarkable structural diversity. In this work we first achieved the hemisynthesis of flavano-ellagitannins, then we used them to develop a new efficient detection and quantification procedure for the C-glycosidic ellagitannins as well as flavano-ellagitannins.

Contribution of soil and atmospheric conditions to leaf water potential in grapevines

Etant lié au sol et aux conditions atmosphériques, le statut hydrique influence la physiologie de la vigne d’une part, mais joue aussi un role important en ce qui concerne la qualité du raisin et donc du vin d’autre part. Nous avons mesuré, dans la région de Stellenbosch, le statut hydrique sur des pieds de Sauvignon Blanc non irrigués, implantés sur 2 terroirs différents, l’un froid, l’autre plus chaud.

Influence of dehydration and maceration conditions on VOCs composition and olfactory profile of Moscato Bianco passito sweet wine

Among the Vitis vinifera L. cv. Moscato, Moscato Bianco is the oldest and most cultivated one in Europe (1). According to the OIV Focus 2015, Italy is the country with the largest cultivated area of Moscato Bianco with about 12500 hectares (2), that is used to produce well-known wines (i.e., Moscato Passito in Piedmont, Moscato di Trani in Puglia, and Moscatello di Montalcino in Tuscany), mainly obtained from partially dehydrated grapes (1). Different dehydration techniques can strongly modify the chemical compounds of oenological interest, among which Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) (1) that are the main responsible for the varietal sensory character of the final wine.

Influence of pre-fermentative steps on varietal thiol precursors

The content of 3-sulfanyl-1-hexanol and its acetate ester in wine is affected by a number of factors, including the concentration of its precursors S-3-(hexan-1-ol)-L-glutathione (G-3SH),

The use of pulsed fluorescence detector to quantify free SO2 in wines via the headspace

Pulsed fluorescence SO2 analyzers are widely used for atmospheric monitoring. They are accurate, portable, sensitive and their price are reduced compared to advanced techniques like gas chromatography with sulfur chemiluminescence detection (GC-SCD).
