• Abstract summary: This paper introduces a method to detect parasitic Varroa destructor mites on the body of western honey bee Apis mellifera. The methodology explores unsupervised (K-means++) and recently developed supervised (KF-PLS) methods for parasitic identification. In light of the emergence of custom-band multispectral cameras, the present research outlines a strategy for identifying the specific wavelengths necessary for effective bee-mite separation.

• Abstract: Hyperspectral (HS) imagery in agriculture is becoming increasingly common. These images have the advantage of higher spectral resolution. Advanced spectral processing techniques are required to unlock the information potential in these HS images. The present paper introduces a method rooted in multivariate statistics designed to detect parasitic Varroa destructor mites on the body of western honey bee Apis mellifera, enabling easier and continuous monitoring of the bee hives. The methodology explores unsupervised (K-means++) and recently developed supervised (Kernel Flows - Partial Least-Squares, KF-PLS) methods for parasitic identification. Additionally, in light of the emergence of custom-band multispectral cameras, the present research outlines a strategy for identifying the specific wavelengths necessary for effective bee-mite separation, suitable for implementation in a custom-band camera. Illustrated with a real-case dataset, our findings demonstrate that as few as four spectral bands are sufficient for accurate parasite identification.

  Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a serious fungal disease affecting wheat (including durum), barley, oats, other small cereal grains, and corn. Traditionally, trained agronomists and surveyors perform manual identification, a method that is labor-intensive, impractical, and challenging to scale. With the advancement of deep learning and Hyper-spectral Imaging (HSI) and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies, employing deep learning, particularly Conal Neural Networks (CNNs) has emerged as a promising solution.

  High-content screening (HCS) offers to quantify complex cellular phenotypes from images at high throughput. This process can be obstructed by image aberrations such as out-of-focus image blur, fluorophore saturation, debris, a high level of noise, unexpected auto-fluorescence or empty images. We evaluate deep learning options that do not require extensive image annotations to provide a straightforward and easy to use semi-supervised learning solution.
