Geometrical characteristics of fresh red pepper(Capsicum annuum L.) were measured and indexed to define some important geometrical characteristics, and malformation of body and fruit stalk which are necessary for the design of the equipments for cutting, spreading and alignment of red pepper in developing a fruit stalk remover of fresh red pepper. The effects of bending of body and fruit stalk on the equipments of cutting, spreading and alignment were studied. The maximum lengths of some parts of fresh red pepper were found to be 180 mm, 125 mm, 144 mm, 67 mm and 76 mm for the body, the bent part of body, the fruit stalk, the bent part and the straight part of fruit stalk, respectively. The fresh red pepper with bending indices more than 0.4 and 0.3 for the body and the fruit stalk, respectively, was defined to be malformed based on the result of cutting rate using cutting unit; while the other ones to be normal in shape. Based on this, among the total fresh red peppers tested, 47%, 40% and 20% were found malformed for the body, the fruit stalk, and for both of the body and the fruit stalk. Malformed red peppers were poorer in spreading and alignment than normal ones, and the processed quantity was decreased with increased feed rate. The required time for the malformed peppers to pass on the alignment plate inclined at 30 increased rapidly at 8.3 Hz with increased feed rate. For the fresh red peppers with average moisture content of 85%,w.b., the maximum tensile strength between fruit stalk and body was 88.1 N; the maximum cutting resistances were 92.1 N and 94.9 N for the fruit stalk-calyx joint and body, respectively. Average coefficients of static friction were 0.99, 0.62, 0.59 and OJ, respectively, for the surfaces of rubber, galvanized iron, acryl and plywood.

본 연구는 수박유통에 있어 수확시 꼭지를 T 형태로 자르는 관행적 방법과 꼭지를 제거할 경우 저장성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 실험에 사용한 수박의 평균 무게는 7.8 kg이었고 각각 $7^{\circ}C$와 실온에 저장하면서 여러 요인들을 조사하였다. 무게는 저장일수가 길어짐에 따라 감소하였는데 꼭지처리한 수박을 $7^{\circ}C$에서 30일 저장한 경우 그 무게가 0.6~0.7% 감소한 반면 실온에서는 1.9~2% 감소하였으며 동일 온도조건하에서는 꼭지유무에 따른 유의차는 없었다. 경도는 초기 755 g에서 저장일수가 경과함에 따라 점차 감소하였으며 실온에서 저장하였을 경우 542~549 g으로 더 큰 감소폭을 보였으나 같은 온도조건하에서는 꼭지유무에 따른 차이는 없었다. 저장기간 동안 pH, 총산과 내부 수분은 모든 처리에서 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으며, 가용성고형분은 실온에 저장한 것은 초기 평균 $11.3^{\circ}Brix$에서 30일 후에는 $9.3^{\circ}Brix$로, 수박 내부의 적색도는 초기 36.7에서 저장후기에는 처리별로 31.7~33.6으로 감소하였으며, 유리당총량은 저장전 8,133 mg/100 g에서 초기에는 증가하다가 저장기간이 길어질수록 감소하였는데 이들 변화 역시 동일저장조건에서의 꼭지유무에 따른 유의적 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 수박을 수확할 때 꼭지를 T 형태로 남긴 것과 제거한 것이 저장성에 미치는 영향은 없으므로 생산, 유통 등을 고려하여 꼭지를 제거하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.

Watermelons, Citrullus species(Cucurbitaceae), are native to Africa and have been cultivated since ancient times. T he fruit flesh of wild watermelon is watery, but typically hard-textured, pale-colored and bland or bitter. The familiar sweet dessert watermelons, C. lanatus, featuring non-bitter, tender, well colored flesh, have a narrow genetic base, suggesting that they are originated from a series of selection events in a single ancestral population. In this study, considered as sweet dissert watermelon, genetic resources, C. lanatus, comprising of traditional cultivars and local accessions were collected from 18 different countries in four continents. A total of 60 accessions were characterized morphologically according to RDA genebank descriptors combined with Japan and China, list for 11 qualitative characteristics, leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, petiole diameter-source, stalk end length, stalk diameter, fruit length, fruit diameter, rind thickness, flesh sugar content($^{\circ}brix$), fruit weight-sink, and 6 sink related characters, leaf margin incision-source, fruit shape, fruit skin ground color, fruit skin stain color, fruit skin stain pattern and flesh color-sink, were also investigated. Even though the relatedness between some morphological traits and fruit weight or fruit sweetness showed no significance, the accessions investigated have a great deal of variation for most of the morphological traits. Additionally, the accessions which showed good performance in flesh color and fruit shape (IT271048) and high sugar content of flesh (IT274119, IT290118) above 14brix, were investigated in this experiment. The accessions, which have the information on specific traits including the selected accessions could be introduced, distributed and investigated for further use.

In a case of mushroom (Lentinus Edodes L.) , visual features are crucial for grading and the quantitative evaluation of the growth state. The extracted quantitative visual features can be used as a performance index for the drying process control or used for the automatic sorting and grading task. First, primary external features of the front and back sides of mushroom were analyzed. And computer vision based algorithm were developed for the extraction and measurement of those features. An automatic thresholding algorithm , which is the combined type of the window extension and maximum depth finding was developed. Freeman's chain coding was modified by gradually expanding the mask size from 3X3 to 9X9 to preserve the boundary connectivity. According to the side of mushroom determined from the automatic recognition algorithm size thickness, overall shape, and skin texture such as pattern, color (lightness) ,membrane state, and crack were quantified and measured. A portion of t e stalk was also identified and automatically removed , while reconstructing a new boundary using the Overhauser curve formulation . Algorithms applied and developed were coded using MS_C language Ver, 6.0, PC VISION Plus library functions, and VGA graphic function as a menu driven way.
