Figure 1. Photos of the test house
Figure 2. Cloud image sections and heights of the test house and bulk corn. Front view (a) and end view (a) show separately the three vertical sections, i.e., V1, V2, and V3, and three horizontal sections, i.e., H1, H2, and H3, in the bulk corn. (b) shows the locations of temperature sensors and bin sensor in the test house. Each solid circle indicates a temperature sensor location. (c) ■ is sampling points for detecting MC and fungal spores during the test
