Popis: This research work presents a study of beans seed tissue (Phaseolous vulgaris, L.) optical interactions with laser aiming to contribute to the development of biospeckle techniques applied to the recognition of bean seed tissue vitality when contaminated with fungi, by differentiating the generated frequency spectra. Biospeckle is an interference optic phenomenon occurring when a laser beam reaches a surface exhibiting some dynamic process, due to biological activities or purely physical changes. The technique involves image processing to distinguish each different active material contribution present in the seed, by means of the procedure known as “Moment of Inertia” and frequency analysis. Frequency analysis was carried by Fourier Transform preceded by module of convolution. A great challenge in this area is to identify the elements contribution to increase biospeckle activity, such as water, microorganisms, among others. This research work is recognized to provide an important step aiming to characteriz...
