  1. Accuracy is defined as the sum of true positives and true negatives. Visual inspection refers to cracking the boll open and examining the interior for lint staining, puncture marks, and warts. Fluorescent detection refers to the examination of UV-illuminated fluorescent images of the exterior boll.
