Scientists use fractals to determine when bananas are becoming mushy and inedible

Scientists use fractals to determine when bananas are becoming mushy and inedible: Bananas (Musa cavendish) were stored for 10 days at 20 �C. and scans of the banana surfaces were recorded using a computational vision system. The team worked on the basis that the banana spots can, to some extent, reflect changes in the ripening process – and that the daily increase in spots might, to some extent, follow a fractal pattern.
