Assessing the Quality of Dried Squid

Source

Research : Nondestructive detection of multiple dried squid qualities by hyperspectral imaging combined with 1D-KAN-CNN Abstract: Given that dried squid is a highly regarded marine product in Oriental countries, the global food industry requires a swift and noninvasive quality assessment of this product. The current study therefore uses visible­near-infrared …

Friday Squid Blogging: The Origin and Propagation of Squid

Friday Squid Blogging: Pet Squid Simulation

Source

From Hackaday.com, this is a neural network simulation of a pet squid. Autonomous Behavior: The squid moves autonomously, making decisions based on his current state (hunger, sleepiness, etc.). Implements a vision cone for food detection, simulating realistic foraging behavior. Neural network can make decisions and form associations. Weights …
