AI-driven snapshot hyperspectral imaging for on-line sorting systems in food industry: From real-time sensing to intelligent decision-making.

High-throughput food sorting requires rapid, non-destructive detection of external defects, foreign materials, and internal quality attributes in heterogeneous food matrices. Conventional scanning hyperspectral imaging may suffer from motion-induced spatial-spectral mismatches, whereas snapshot hyperspectral imaging (S-HSI) captures spectral images within a single integration time. However, its advantage is limited by trade-offs in resolution, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), reconstruction uncertainty, and calibration stability, which are further amplified by variable tissue structure, surface reflection, moisture, and fat distribution in foods. This review critically examines artificial intelligence (AI)-driven S-HSI for on-line food sorting within a sensing-representation-decision-execution framework. Compact architectures are compared according to their physical constraints, food-sorting suitability, and ability to support mapping between spectral responses and physicochemical quality attributes. AI strategies are reviewed for spectral reconstruction, image restoration, spatial-spectral representation, band selection, uncertainty-aware decision-making, and edge implementation. AI can partially compensate for snapshot-specific limitations, but current evidence remains largely limited to laboratory or prototype studies. Future work should link system performance to food safety and quality outcomes by reporting throughput, decision latency, calibration drift, missed-detection risk, false-rejection cost, and closed-loop sorting success.

Diagnostic performance of intraoperative in vivo hyperspectral imaging for meningioma grading and molecular alterations: results from a prospective feasibility study.

OBJECTIVE: Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is an emerging intraoperative, noninvasive, contrast agent-free imaging modality that enables quantitative assessment of tissue composition. The present study aimed to investigate whether HSI-derived tissue parameters correlate with WHO grade and molecular markers of aggressiveness in cranial meningiomas. METHODS: In this prospective study, intraoperative in vivo HSI was performed using the TIVITA tissue system, capturing spectral signatures between 500 and 1000 nm. Quantitative tissue parameters included tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), near-infrared perfusion index, organ hemoglobin index (OHI), and tissue water index (TWI). HSI parameters were correlated with histopathological WHO grade and molecular alterations, including CDKN2A/B deletion, TERT promoter mutation, and 1p/22q loss. Group differences were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, and diagnostic performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. RESULTS: Forty-six meningiomas were included, comprising WHO grade 1 (n = 35) and WHO grade 2-3 (n = 11) tumors. TWI was significantly higher in WHO grade 2-3 meningiomas compared with WHO grade 1 tumors (mean 0.49 [SD 0.12] vs 0.38 [SD 0.17], p = 0.048). ROC analysis demonstrated an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.71 (95% CI 0.56-0.86, p = 0.036) for TWI in discriminating higher-grade disease. A TWI cutoff ≥ 0.367 identified all WHO grade 2-3 meningiomas with 100% sensitivity and 100% negative predictive value. In a molecular subgroup (n = 15), OHI appeared higher in tumors with homozygous CDKN2A/B deletion than in nondeleted tumors (mean 0.77 [SD 0.04] vs 0.62 [SD 0.10]). However, only 3 CDKN2A/B-deleted cases were available, and these findings should be considered descriptive. ROC analysis yielded an AUC of 0.89 (95% CI 0.71-1.00). An OHI cutoff ≥ 0.712 identified all three CDKN2A/B-deleted tumors (100% sensitivity), with 83.3% specificity and 86.7% accuracy. CONCLUSIONS: The present investigation demonstrated that HSI-derived tissue water and hemoglobin metrics provide biologically meaningful information in meningiomas. Low tissue water content appeared to rule out higher-grade diseases in this first subset cohort, while elevated hemoglobin showed a potential association with CDKN2A/B deletion in a small exploratory subgroup. These findings support the potential of HSI as a real-time noninvasive tool for intraoperative risk stratification and should be evaluated in large-scale studies. German Clinical Trials Register no.

Hyperspectral imaging of grains uncovers the genetic architecture of nitrogen response of development in bread wheat.

UNLABELLED: Unraveling the genetic architecture of nitrogen response of development is critical for improving wheat productivity while reducing nitrogen inputs. In this study, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) was applied to wheat grains obtained from nitrogen-deficient and normal conditions, combined with genome-wide association studies (GWAS), to investigate the nitrogen response of development in a diverse wheat panel. The 1,792 i-traits were acquired via hyperspectral imaging system, which reflect detailed phenotypic assessments of wheat development, capturing subtle variations in nitrogen response. A total of 3,556 significant loci and 3,648 candidate genes were identified. Key candidate genes involved in nitrogen uptake and utilization were identified by integrating agronomic traits with i-traits, including TaARE1-7A, TaPTR9-7B, TaNAR2.1, and Rht-B1. This approach underscores the potential of combining HSI on grains with GWAS to dissect complex traits like nitrogen response, offering valuable genetic insights for breeding nitrogen-efficient wheat varieties and enhancing sustainability in crop production.

Non-destructive prediction of lead content in oilseed rape leaves by fluorescence hyperspectral technology based on neural network.

Based on fluorescence hyperspectral imaging (FHSI), this study targeted rapid, non-destructive quantification of lead (Pb) content in oilseed rape leaves treated with varying silicon (Si) concentrations, acquiring fluorescence spectra over the 484.43-1001.61 nm wavelength range. To optimize spectral data quality, preprocessing methods (Savitzky-Golay smoothing, first derivative, detrending) were comprehensively compared. Characteristic wavelengths were then selected via interval variable iterative shrinkage, which effectively compressed data dimensionality and reduced computational load. A hybrid SE-CL1DA model, fusing a 1D convolutional neural network, a long short-term memory network and SE attention mechanism was constructed, with Bayesian optimization tuning hyperparameters to boost stability. The BO-SE-CL1DA outperformed both traditional machine learning and insufficiently optimized deep learning model (Rp2=0.9609, RMSE = 0.0377 mg/kg, RPD = 5.1736), thus enabling accurate Pb estimation, supporting Si-regulated heavy metal stress management and facilitating agricultural contamination monitoring.

Decoding the spatiotemporal patterns of food spoilage microbial communities: Integrating multi-omics and artificial intelligence to enable precision preservation.

In the global food supply chain, food wastage caused by spoilage has resulted in significant economic losses, food shortages, and environmental pressure. This process is fundamentally driven by the spatiotemporal dynamics of microbial communities. However, traditional research methods struggle to elucidate the complex mechanisms of spatial heterogeneity, interspecies interactions, and functional succession. This limits the development of effective preservation strategies. This review systematically reviews the cutting-edge progress of integrating multi-omics technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) to study food spoilage microbial communities, breaking through this bottleneck. We propose an intelligent theoretical framework that could potentially analyze microbial metabolic activities and predict dynamic shelf life if implemented. The conceptual framework integrates multidimensional data, including spatial metabolomics, temporal metatranscriptomics, single-cell transcriptomics, and longitudinal metagenomics. It can also be combined with AI models, such as graph neural networks. The article elaborates on the principles and applications of spatio-temporal monitoring technologies, such as nano secondary ion mass spectrometry, hyperspectral imaging, and the Internet of Things sensing. Through illustrative cases of typical perishable foods, it also explores how such a multi-omics - AI system might be applied to spoilage warning and precise intervention. Additionally, the article addresses the current challenges in data coverage, model generalization, and federated learning implementation. Then the research further explores emerging areas such as engineered probiotics, edge AI, and microfluidic sensing. These areas are targeted at transforming food preservation from an empirical control approach to a data-driven, precise regulatory framework. This transformation provides theoretical support and technical approaches for developing a smart, sustainable food preservation system.

Chemical Imaging of Retinal Pigment Epithelium in Frozen Sections of Zebrafish Larvae Using ToF-SIMS.

Variants of the SLC24A5 gene, which encodes a putative potassium-dependent sodium-calcium exchanger (NCKX5) that most likely resides in the melanosome or its precursor, affect pigmentation in both humans and zebrafish (Danio rerio). This finding suggests that genetic variations influencing human skin pigmentation alter melanosome biogenesis via ionic changes. Gaining an understanding of how changes in the ionic environment of organelles impact melanosome morphogenesis and pigmentation will require a spatially resolved way to characterize the chemical environment of melanosomes in pigmented tissue such as retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). The imaging mass spectrometry technique most suited for this type of cell and tissue analysis is time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) because it is able to detect many biochemical species with high sensitivity and with submicron spatial resolution. Here, we describe chemical imaging of the RPE in frozen-hydrated sections of larval zebrafish using cryo-ToF-SIMS. To facilitate the data interpretation, positive and negative polarity ToF-SIMS image data were transformed into a single hyperspectral data set and analyzed using principal component analysis. The combination of a novel protocol and the use of multivariate data analysis allowed us to discover new marker ions that are attributable to leucodopachrome, a metabolite specific to the biosynthesis of eumelanin. The described methodology may be adapted for the investigation of other classes of molecules in frozen tissues from zebrafish and other organisms.

Multimodal Deep Learning and Foundation Models for Early Detection and Forecasting of Plant Diseases.

Plant diseases destroy 20-40% of global food production annually, posing a critical threat to food security for a projected population of 9.7 billion by 2050. Conventional diagnostic approaches relying on expert visual assessment are slow, costly, and unsuitable for modern agricultural scales. While deep convolutional neural networks demonstrated early promise, single-modality, image-centric systems consistently fail under real-world field conditions characterized by variable lighting, co-occurring infections, and cultivar diversity. This review synthesizes a decade of progress across four interconnected frontiers: the evolution of deep learning architectures for plant disease detection; the adaptation of foundation models including CLIP, SAM, and DINOv2 to agricultural contexts; the development of multimodal fusion frameworks integrating imagery, environmental, genomic, and hyperspectral data; and the transition from static disease diagnosis to descriptive comparison of reported metrics, which suggested that multimodal approaches frequently reported improved diagnostic performance relative to corresponding single-modality baselines, although direct cross-study comparison was limited by methodological heterogeneity. A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines identifies eligible comparative studies. Descriptive comparison of reported performance metrics across these studies indicated that multimodal approaches generally achieved higher accuracy and sensitivity than single-modality models, particularly for pre-symptomatic disease detection. Eight critical research gaps are identified, including the absence of a unified agricultural foundation model and limited climate-aware forecasting under non-stationary climate projections. A structured research agenda is proposed to accelerate translation from laboratory performance to globally equitable, field-deployable crop protection systems.
