Markers and labels, role in data analysis

Da-Meter
In the context of fruit ripening analysis, markers are a powerful tool for organizing, segmenting and interpreting collected data. Essentially, a marker is a reference point embedded in the data that allows specific measurements or groups of measurements to be identified and categorized. The labeling process involves associating descriptive information (labels) with markers entered into the data stream. This process enriches the markers with context and meaning, making data organization and analysis more effective. Let us look in more detail at the concept and the role of markers and labels: Definition of marker: A marker, in this context, is a digital indicator that can be inserted into fruit ripening measurement data. It functions as a bookmark or label within the data stream, allowing specific points or segments of interest to…

Do you know the DAmeter?

Da-Meter
If you are here you might already know the DAmeter. In case you don't, let me introduce you to this innovative tool. Who needs the DAmeter and why? The DAmeter is a tool for growers, an innovative help to know when to harvest fruit such as apples, peaches, kiwis, pears, apricots and others. In fact it is capable of monitoring their ripening without destroying the product in order to choose the best moment to pick. In the post-harvest it can be used by the places for storing and packing to divide fruits in ripening classes or in other words in groups of homogeneous maturation level. This could be very useful in order not to waste food for a wrong estimate of storage duration and shelf life. Besides DAmeter could be…
