Near-infrared (NIR) spectra of apple samples were submitted in this paper to principal component analysis (PCA) and successive projections algorithm (SPA) to conduct variable selection. Three pattern recognition methods, backpropagation neural network (BPNN), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme learning machine (ELM), were applied to establish models for distinguishing apples of different varieties and geographical origins. Experimental results show that ELM models performed better on identifying apple variety and geographical origin than others. Especially, the SPA-ELM model could reach 98.33% identification accuracy on the calibration set and 96.67% on the prediction set. This study suggests that it is feasible to identify apple variety and cultivation region by using NIR spectroscopy.

The aim of this work is to identify the adulteration of edible gelatin using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with supervised pattern recognition methods. The spectral data obtained from a total of 144 samples consisting of six kinds of adulterated gelatin gels with different mixture ratios were processed with multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), Savitzky–Golay (SG) smoothing, and min-max normalization. Principal component analysis (PCA) was first carried out for spectral analysis, while the six gelatin categories could not be clearly distinguished. Further, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), soft independent modelling of class analogy (SIMCA), backpropagation neural network (BPNN), and support vector machine (SVM) were introduced to establish discrimination models for identifying the adulterated gelatin gels, which gave a total correct recognition rate of 97.44%, 100%, 97.44%, and 100%, respectively. For the SIMCA model with significant level α = 0.05, sample overlapping clustering appeared; thus, the SVM model presents the best recognition ability among these four discrimination models for the classification of edible gelatin adulteration. The results demonstrate that NIR spectroscopy combined with unsupervised pattern recognition methods can quickly and accurately identify edible gelatin with different adulteration levels, providing a new possibility for the detection of industrial gelatin illegally added into food products.

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy technique offers many potential advantages as tool for biomedical analysis since it enables the subtle biochemical signatures related to pathology to be detected and extracted. In conjunction with advanced chemometrics, NIR spectroscopy opens the possibility of their use in cancer diagnosis. The study focuses on the application of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and classification models for discriminating colorectal cancer. A total of 107 surgical specimens and a corresponding NIR diffuse reflection spectral dataset were prepared. Three preprocessing methods were attempted and least-squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) was used to build a classification model. The hybrid preprocessing of first derivative and principal component analysis (PCA) resulted in the best LS-SVM model with the sensitivity and specificity of 0.96 and 0.96 for the training and 0.94 and 0.96 for test sets, respectively. The similarity performance on both subsets indicated that overfitting did not occur, assuring the robustness and reliability of the developed LS-SVM model. The area of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.99, demonstrating once again the high prediction power of the model. The result confirms the applicability of the combination of NIR spectroscopy, LS-SVM, PCA, and first derivative preprocessing for cancer diagnosis.

Applications of Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy in fisheries science are currently limited. This current analysis of otolith spectral data demonstrate the potential applicability of FT-NIR spectroscopy to otolith chemistry and spatial variability in fisheries science. The objective of this study was to examine the use of NIR spectroscopy as a tool to differentiate among marine fishes in four large marine ecosystems. We examined otoliths from 13 different species, with three of these species coming from different regions. Principal component analysis described the main directions along which the specimens were separated. The separation of species and their ecosystems may suggest interactions between fish phylogeny, ontogeny, and environmental conditions that can be evaluated using NIR spectroscopy. In order to discriminate spectra across ecosystems and species, four supervised classification model techniques were utilized: soft independent modelling of class analogies, support vector machine discriminant analysis, partial least squares discriminant analysis, and k-nearest neighbor analysis (KNN). This study showed that the best performing model to classify combined ecosystems, all four ecosystems, and species was the KNN model, which had an overall accuracy rate of 99.9%, 97.6%, and 91.5%, respectively. Results from this study suggest that further investigations are needed to determine applications of NIR spectroscopy to otolith chemistry and spatial variability.

Successive projections algorithm (SPA) combined with least square-support vector machine (LS-SVM) was investigated to determine the citric acid of lemon vinegar by 13 wavelengths within visible/near infrared (Vis/NIR) spectral region. Five concentration levels (100%, 80%, 60%, 40% and 20%) of lemon vinegar were prepared, and the calibration set consisted of 150 samples, validation set consisted of 75 samples and the remaining 75 samples for prediction set. After the comparison of different preprocessing such as smoothing, standard normal variate and derivative, SPA was applied to extract the effective wavelengths to reduce the redundancies and collinearity of variables, and the multiple linear regression (MLR) models were developed compared with partial least squares (PLS) models. Simultaneously, the selected wavelengths were used as the inputs of LS-SVM, and a new proposed combination of SPA-LS-SVM model was developed. The results indicated that SPA-LS-SVM achieved the optimal prediction performance, and the correlation coefficient (r) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) were 0.9894 and 0.0623, respectively. An excellent prediction precision was obtained. The overall results demonstrated that it was feasible to utilize Vis/NIR spectroscopy to predict the citric acid of lemon vinegar, and SPA-LS-SVM model achieved the optimal prediction precision. This study supplied a feasible method for the process monitoring of fruit vinegar manufacture and fermentation.

This paper reports the application of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and pattern recognition methods to rapid and automatic discrimination of the genotypes (parent, transgenic, and parent-transgenic hybrid) of cotton plants. Diffuse reflectance NIR spectra of representative cotton seeds (n=120) and leaves (n=123) were measured in the range of 4000–12000 cm−1. A practical problem when developing classification models is the degradation and even breakdown of models caused by outliers. Considering the high-dimensional nature and uncertainty of potential spectral outliers, robust principal component analysis (rPCA) was applied to each separate sample group to detect and exclude outliers. The influence of different data preprocessing methods on model prediction performance was also investigated. The results demonstrate that rPCA can effectively detect outliers and maintain the efficiency of discriminant analysis. Moreover, the classification accuracy can be significantly improved by second-order derivative and standard normal variate (SNV). The best partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA) models obtained total classification accuracy of 100% and 97.6% for seeds and leaves, respectively.

The applicability of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics was examined to develop fast, low-cost and non-destructive spectroscopic methods for classification of transgenic maize plants. The transgenic maize plants containing both cry1Ab/cry2Aj-G10evo proteins and their non-transgenic parent were measured in the NIR diffuse reflectance mode with the spectral range of 700–1900 nm. Three variable selection algorithms, including weighted regression coefficients, principal component analysis -loadings and second derivatives were used to extract sensitive wavelengths that contributed the most discrimination information for these genotypes. Five classification methods, including K-nearest neighbor, Soft Independent Modeling of Class Analogy, Naive Bayes Classifier, Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and Radial Basis Function Neural Network were used to build discrimination models based on the preprocessed full spectra and sensitive wavelengths. The results demonstrated that ELM had the best performance of all methods, even though the model’s recognition ability decreased as the variables in the training of neural networks were reduced by using only the sensitive wavelengths. The ELM model calculated on the calibration set showed classification rates of 100% based on the full spectrum and 90.83% based on sensitive wavelengths. The NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics offers a powerful tool for evaluating large number of samples from maize hybrid performance trials and breeding programs.

Spinach is prone to spoilage in the course of preservation. Spinach leaves stored at different temperatures for different durations will have varying degrees of freshness. In order to monitor the freshness of spinach leaves during storage, a rapid and non-destructive method—hyperspectral imaging technology—was applied in this study. Visible near-infrared reflectance (Vis-NIR) (380–1030 nm) and near-infrared reflectance (NIR) (874–1734 nm) hyperspectral imaging systems were used. Spinach leaves preserved at different temperatures with different durations (0, 3, 6, 9 days at 4 °C and 0, 1, 2 days at 20 °C) were studied. Principal component analysis (PCA) was adopted as a qualitative analysis method. The second-order derivative spectra were utilized to select effective wavelengths. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme learning machine (ELM) were used to build models based on full spectra and effective wavelengths. All three models achieved good results, with accuracies above 92% for both Vis-NIR spectra and NIR spectra. ELM obtained the best results, with all accuracies reaching 100%. The overall results indicate the possibility of the freshness identification of spinach preserved at different temperatures for different durations using two kinds of hyperspectral imaging systems.

AbstractAlthough visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy can rapidly and nondestructively identify wood species, the conventional spectrometer approach relies on the aggregate light absorption due to the chemical composition of wood and light scattering originating from the physical structure of wood. Hence, much of the work in this area is still limited to further spectral pretreatments, such as baseline correction and standard normal variate to reduce the light scattering effects. However, it should be emphasized that the light scattering rather than absorption in wood is dominant, and this must be effectively utilized to achieve highly accurate and robust wood classification. Here a novel method based on spatially resolved diffuse reflectance (wavelength range: 600–1000 nm) was demonstrated to classify 15 kinds of wood. A portable Vis-NIR spectral measurement system was designed according to previous simulations and experimental results. To simplify spectral data analysis (i.e., against overfitting), support vector machine (SVM) model was constructed for wood sample classification using principal component analysis (PCA) scores. The classification accuracies of 98.6% for five-fold cross-validation and 91.2% for test set validation were achieved. This study offers enhanced classification accuracy and robustness over other conventional nondestructive approaches for such various kinds of wood and sheds light on utilizing visible and short-wave NIR light scattering for wood classification.

Plant dye is a promising dyestuff to be used in textiles due to its unique environmental compatibility. However, currently there is no effective method for the identification of plant-dyed and chemical-dyed textiles. In this study, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with three kinds of pattern recognition methods, namely soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA), partial least squares (PLS) regression and principal component regression (PCR), were applied to identify cotton fabrics dyed with plant and chemical dyes. A total of 336 plant dye and chemical dye dyed cotton fabrics were prepared and the NIR spectra were collected; 267 samples were used as the calibration set, while the remaining 69 samples were used as the validation set. After pretreatment with the Savitzky–Golay first derivative, the calibration model was constructed. In the SIMCA model, the correct recognition rate values of the calibration and prediction sets were 100% and 98.55%, respectively. The PLS model showed that the number of principal components (PCs) and the correlation coefficient ( R2) were 8 and 0.9978, respectively, and the results of PCR were PC = 10, R2 = 0.9937. Both methods were satisfactory for the predicted results. The overall results indicated that NIR spectroscopy could be used for rapid and nondestructive identification of plant-dyed cotton fabrics and chemical-dyed cotton fabrics.

Identifying wood accurately and rapidly is one of the best ways to prevent wood product fakes and adulterants in forestry products. Wood identification traditionally relies heavily on special experts that spend extensive time in the laboratory. A new method is proposed that uses near-infrared (NIR) spectra at a wavelength of 780–2300 nm incorporated with the gray-level co-occurrence (GLCM) texture feature to accurately and rapidly identify timbers. The NIR spectral features were determined by principal component analysis (PCA), and the digital image features extracted with the GLCM were used to create a support vector machine (SVM) model to identify the timbers. The results from fusion features of raw spectra and four GLCM features of 25 timbers showed that identification accuracy by the model was 99.43%. A sample anisotropy and heterogeneity comparative analysis revealed that the wood identification information from the transverse surface had more characteristics than that from the tangential and radial surfaces. Furthermore, short-wavelength pre-processed NIR bands of 780–1100 nm and 1100–2300 nm realized high identification accuracy of 99.43% and 100%, respectively. The four GLCM features were effective for improving identification accuracy by improving the data spatial clustering features.
