Computer vision techniques and digital image analysis are an attractive and economical alternative to evaluate the appearance changes of foodstuffs during processing. Therefore, the present work aims the evaluation and correlation of morphological characteristics area (A), by digital image analysis techniques, and thickness (L) measured by caliber in strawberries subjected to combined treatments that include application of edible coatings (alginate-lactate), osmotic dehydration (sucrose, 60 ºB, 40 ºC, 4h) and microwave assisted drying (1,2 W/g).
