Equal opportunities for children with hearing loss by means of early identification by DeWet Swanepoel, Suzanne Delport, Johannes Swart

“…This stands in stark contrast to current evidence which indicate early identification for infants with hearing loss followed by subsequent intervention leads to linguistic, speech and cognitive development that is comparable to normal hearing peers. Unfortunately initial detection of hearing loss in South Africa is primarily passive, when critical periods have passed, as a result of parental concern about observed speech and language delays, unusual behaviour or the complications of otitis media. …”

Avocado fruit sorting by hyperspectral images by D. A. Metlenkin, R. A. Platova, Yu. T. Platov, O. V. Fedoseenko, O. V. Sadkova

“…The matrix of spectral data was formed by two methods: random selection of spectral signatures of HSIs from the whole surface of fruits or the image surface of HSIs of fruits (initial HSIs) as a region of interest (ROI). Based on the data of moisture measurement and selection of spectral signatures of hyperspectral images, calibration models were built for detection of moisture and dry matter of avocado fruits. …”
