Study of NO₂ and HCHO vertical profile measurement based on fast synchronous multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (FS MAX-DOAS) by J. Xu, J. Xu, A. Li, Z. Hu, H. Zhang, H. Zhang, M. Qin

“…Compared with the differential slant column densities (dSCDs) at each elevation angle measured by the MAX-DOAS system, the Pearson correlation coefficient of NO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span> reached 0.9, while for HCHO it ranged mostly between 0.76 and 0.85. The results of the slant column concentration inversion indicate that the root mean square (rms) of the FS MAX-DOAS spectrum inversion can consistently be lower than that of MAX-DOAS over an extended period. …”

A Stride Toward Wine Yield Estimation from Images: Metrological Validation of Grape Berry Number, Radius, and Volume Estimation by Bernardo Lanza, Davide Botturi, Alessandro Gnutti, Matteo Lancini, Cristina Nuzzi, Simone Pasinetti

“…This analysis highlighted that half of the total uncertainty on the volume is due to the camera–object distance <i>d</i> and parameter <i>R</i> used to take into account the proportion of visible grapes with respect to the total grapes in the grape cluster. This issue is mostly due to the absence of a reliable depth measure between the camera and the grapes, which could be overcome by using depth sensors in combination with color images. …”
