About
A. Torregrosa is a leading researcher in agricultural engineering and precision agriculture, with a primary focus on developing automated, non-destructive sensing systems for fruit quality assessment. Their most significant contribution is the design and validation of an optimised computer vision system for the automatic pre-grading of citrus fruit directly in the field, using a mobile platform. This work, published in 2013 and cited 73 times, pioneered a practical approach to integrating real-time image processing with field-based robotics, enabling early sorting of fruit by size, colour, and surface defects before harvest. By moving quality control from the packing house to the orchard, Torregrosa’s research directly addresses labour shortages and post-harvest losses, offering a scalable solution for sustainable citrus production. Their methodology—combining robust segmentation algorithms with low-cost camera hardware—has influenced subsequent studies in fruit detection and yield mapping. Torregrosa’s work stands out for its applied impact, bridging computer vision, mechatronics, and agronomy, and remains a key reference for researchers developing smart farming technologies for specialty crops.
