Victor Alchanatis is a senior research scientist at the Institute of Agricultural Engineering at ARO. His research interests include sensing technologies and their application to agricultural and environmental systems: optical sensing in the visible, near-infrared and thermal infrared spectrum, hyper-spectral and multi-spectral image processing, computer vision, machine learning and artificial intelligence systems. These sensing technologies are applied to precision farming in field crops, orchards and protected cultivation, as well as for non-destructive testing of fruits and vegetables in post-harvest systems. He has authored and co-authored more than 85 papers in international peer-reviewed journals and more than 100 in other journals and conference proceedings. He is on the editorial board of leading journals on precision agriculture and agricultural engineering.
