    A review of semantic segmentation methods and their application in apple disease detection
    (Elsevier B.V., 2025-05-26) Keshavarzi M; Mesarich C; Bailey D; Johnson M; Gupta GS
    Semantic segmentation, with pixel-wise classification, enables the precise identification of different parts of plants, as well as the diseases that occur on them, in agricultural images. Apples, as one of the most important fruit crops worldwide, are susceptible to various diseases, causing decreased crop quality and increased crop loss. To prevent disease progression and ensure prompt treatment, semantic segmentation acts as an effective method in the context of apple disease detection. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of semantic segmentation methods applied in apple disease detection, ranging from traditional approaches to state-of-the-art techniques. By systematically examining the entire pipeline, from dataset preparation to the segmentation and evaluation stages, this work not only synthesises existing knowledge but also reviews applied solutions and highlights remaining research gaps to enhance segmentation performance. Additionally, it offers a forward-looking perspective by proposing future research directions. Overall, this review aims to advance plant disease detection through semantic segmentation, with a particular emphasis on apples.

    Analysis and application of digital spectral warping in analog and mixed-signal testing
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2003) Allen WP; Bailey D; Demidenko SN; Piuri V
    Spectral warping is a digital signal processing transform which shifts the frequencies contained within a signal along the frequency axis. The Fourier transform coefficients of a warped signal correspond to frequency-domain 'samples' of the original signal which are unevenly spaced along the frequency axis. This property allows the technique to be efficiently used for DSP-based analog and mixed-signal testing. The analysis and application of spectral warping for test signal generation, response analysis, filter design, frequency response evaluation, etc. are discussed in this paper along with examples of the software and hardware implementation.
