Longjing tea is one of China’s protected geographical indication products with high commercial and nutritional value. The geographical origin of Longjing tea is an important factor influencing its commercial and nutritional value. Hyperspectral imaging systems covering the two spectral ranges of 380–1030 nm and 874–1734 nm were used to identify a single tea leaf of Longjing tea from six geographical origins. Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted on hyperspectral images to form PCA score images. Differences among samples from different geographical origins were visually observed from the PCA score images. Support vector machine (SVM) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models were built using the full spectra at the two spectral ranges. Decent classification performances were obtained at the two spectral ranges, with the overall classification accuracy of the calibration and prediction sets over 84%. Furthermore, prediction maps for geographical origins identification of Longjing tea were obtained by applying the SVM models on the hyperspectral images. The overall results illustrate that hyperspectral imaging at both spectral ranges can be applied to identify the geographical origin of single tea leaves of Longjing tea. This study provides a new, rapid, and non-destructive alternative for Longjing tea geographical origins identification.

Dry beans stored under sub-optimal conditions tend to develop hard-to-cook (HTC) defect, which extends the cooking time making them less palatable while reducing their nutritional value. The current methods of identifying HTC beans are time-consuming, destructive, and unreliable. A rapid non-destructive inspection technique for pre-screening beans could help identify and discard HTC beans prior to processing. To this end, the potential of hyperspectral imaging technique covering the entire visible to near infrared (NIR) spectral range (400‒2500 nm) was evaluated for rapid and non-destructive identification of HTC beans. The HTC phenomenon was artificially induced in healthy white beans using two different combinations of suboptimal storage conditions of temperature and relative humidity (35℃, 75% RH for 45 days and 60℃, 75% RH for 10 days). Subsequently, the beans were cooked for specified durations and their hardness measured using a texture analyzer. The HTC and control (i.e. easy-to-cook (ETC)) beans were scanned with push-broom hyperspectral imaging systems. Results indicate that both sets of storage conditions rendered the beans HTC but the phenomenon induced by the two different methods was detected in different spectral ranges using hyperspectral imaging. Wavelengths across the entire visible and NIR ranges of electromagnetic spectrum were found useful in detecting HTC as beans stored at 35℃ and 75% RH for 45 days were identified mainly in the 1000‒2500 nm range and those stored at 60℃ and 75% RH for 10 days were identified in the 400‒1000 nm region. The degree of HTC defect could not be ascertained using this technique and requires further investigation.

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.

Chinese walnuts have extraordinary nutritional and organoleptic qualities, and counterfeit Chinese walnut products are pervasive in the market. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technique to accurately identify and visualize Chinese walnut varieties. Hyperspectral images of 400 Chinese walnuts including 200 samples of Ningguo variety and 200 samples of Lin’an variety were acquired in range of 400–1000 nm. Spectra were extracted from representative regions of interest (ROIs), and principal component analysis (PCA) of spectra showed that the characteristic second principal component (PC2) was potentially effective in variety identification. The PC transformation was also conducted to hyperspectral images to make an exploratory visualization according to pixel-wise PC scores. Three different modeling methods including partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and support vector machine (SVM) were individually employed to develop classification models. Results indicated that raw full spectra constructed PLS-DA model performed best with correct classification rates (CCRs) of 97.33%, 95.33%, and 92.00% in calibration, cross-validation, and prediction sets, respectively. Successful projects algorithm (SPA), competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), and PC loadings were individually used for effective wavelengths selection. Subsequently, simplified PLS-DA model based on wavelengths selected by CARS yielded the best 96.33%, 95.67% and 91.00% CCRs in the three sets. This optimal CARS-PLS-DA model acquired a sensitivity of 93.62%, a specificity of 88.68%, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value of 0.91, and Kappa coefficient of 0.82 in prediction set. Classification maps were finally generated by classifying the varieties of each pixel in multispectral images at CARS-selected wavelengths, and the general variety was then readily discernible. These results demonstrated that features extracted from HSI had outstanding ability, and could be applied as a reliable tool for the further development of an on-line identification system for Chinese walnut variety.

Mile-a-minute weed (Mikania micrantha Kunth) is considered as one of top 100 most dangerous invasive species in the world. A fast and accurate detection technology will be needed to identify M. micrantha. It will help to mitigate the extensive ecologic and economic damage on our ecosystems caused by this alien plant. Hyperspectral technology fulfills the above requirement. However, when working with hyperspectral images, preprocessing, dimension reduction, and classifier are fundamental to achieving reliable recognition accuracy and efficiency. The spectral data of M. micrantha were collected using hyperspectral imaging in the spectral range of 450–998 nm. A different combination of preprocessing methods, principal component analysis (for dimension reduction), and three classifiers were used to analyze the collected hyperspectral images. The results showed that a combination of Savitzky-Golay (SG) smoothing, principal component analysis (PCA), and random forest (RF) achieved an accuracy (A) of 88.71%, an average accuracy (AA) of 88.68%, and a Kappa of 0.7740 with an execution time of 9.647 ms. In contrast, the combination of SG, PCA and a support vector machine (SVM) resulted in a weaker performance in terms of A (84.68%), AA(84.66%), and Kappa (0.6934), but with less execution time (1.318 ms). According to the requirements for specific identification accuracy and time cost, SG-PCA-RF and SG-PCA-SVM might represent two promising methods for recognizing M. micrantha in the wild.

The adulteration in Chinese chestnuts affects the quality, taste, and brand value. The objective of this study was to explore the feasibility of the hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technique to determine the geographical origin of Chinese chestnuts. An HSI system in spectral range of 400–1000 nm was applied to identify a total of 417 Chinese chestnuts from three different geographical origins. Principal component analysis (PCA) was preliminarily used to investigate the differences of average spectra of the samples from different geographical origins. A deep-learning-based model (1D-CNN, one-dimensional convolutional neural network) was developed first, and then the model based on full spectra and optimal wavelengths were established for various machine learning methods, including partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and particle swarm optimization-support vector machine (PSO-SVM). The optimal results based on full spectra for 1D-CNN, PLS-DA, and PSO-SVM models were 97.12%, 97.12%, and 95.68%, respectively. Competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) and a successive projections algorithm (SPA) were individually utilized for wavelengths selection, and the results of simplified models generally improved. The contrasting results demonstrated that the prediction accuracies of SPA-PLS-DA and 1D-CNN both reached 97.12%, but 1D-CNN presented a higher Kappa coefficient value than SPA-PLS-DA. Meanwhile, the sensitivities and specificities of SPA-PLS-DA and 1D-CNN models were both above 90% for the samples from each geographical origin. These results indicated that both SPA-PLS-DA and 1D-CNN models combined with HSI have great potential for the geographical origin identification of Chinese chestnuts.

It is necessary to develop a non-destructive technique for kiwifruit quality analysis because the machine injury could lower the quality of fruit and incur economic losses. Bruises are not visible externally owing to the special physical properties of kiwifruit peel.We proposed the hyperspectral imaging technique to inspect the hidden bruises on kiwifruit. The Vis/NIR (408–1117 nm) hyperspectral image data was collected. Multiple optimal wavelength (682, 723, 744, 810, and 852 nm) images were obtained using principal component analysis on the high dimension spectral image data (wavelength range from 600 nm to 900 nm). The bruise regions were extracted from the component images of the five waveband images using RBF-SVM classification. The experimental results showed that the error of hidden bruises detection on fruits by means of hyperspectral imaging was 12.5%. It was concluded that the multiple optimal waveband images could be used to constructs a multispectral detection system for hidden bruises on kiwifruits.

AbstractSiraitia grosvenorii (LHG) is widely used as a medicinal and edible material around the world. The objective of this study was to develop an effective method for the authentication of the geographical origin of LHG in its main producing area Guangxi, China, which is identified as Chinese Protected Designation of Origin product, against other producing regions in China. The content of 14 elements (K, Na, Ca, P, Mg, Al, B, Ba, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn, and Sr) of 114 LHG samples was determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Multivariate analysis was then performed to classify the geographical origin of LHG samples. The contents of multielement display an obvious trend of clustering according to the geographical origin of LHG samples based on radar plot and principal component analysis. Finally, three supervised statistical techniques, including linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighbours (k-NN), and support vector machine (SVM), were applied to develop classification models. Finally, 40 unknown LHG samples were used to evaluate the predictive ability of model and discrimination rate of 100%, 97.5% and 100% were obtained for LDA, k-NN, and SVM, respectively. This study indicated that it is feasible to attribute unknown LHG samples to its geographical origin based on its multielement content coupled with chemometric techniques.

Seed aging during storage is irreversible, and a rapid, accurate detection method for seed vigor detection during seed aging is of great importance for seed companies and farmers. In this study, an artificial accelerated aging treatment was used to simulate the maize kernel aging process, and hyperspectral imaging at the spectral range of 874–1734 nm was applied as a rapid and accurate technique to identify seed vigor under different accelerated aging time regimes. Hyperspectral images of two varieties of maize processed with eight different aging duration times (0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h) were acquired. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to conduct a qualitative analysis on maize kernels under different accelerated aging time conditions. Second-order derivatization was applied to select characteristic wavelengths. Classification models (support vector machine−SVM) based on full spectra and optimal wavelengths were built. The results showed that misclassification in unprocessed maize kernels was rare, while some misclassification occurred in maize kernels after the short aging times of 12 and 24 h. On the whole, classification accuracies of maize kernels after relatively short aging times (0, 12 and 24 h) were higher, ranging from 61% to 100%. Maize kernels with longer aging time (36, 48, 72, 96, 120 h) had lower classification accuracies. According to the results of confusion matrixes of SVM models, the eight categories of each maize variety could be divided into three groups: Group 1 (0 h), Group 2 (12 and 24 h) and Group 3 (36, 48, 72, 96, 120 h). Maize kernels from different categories within one group were more likely to be misclassified with each other, and maize kernels within different groups had fewer misclassified samples. Germination test was conducted to verify the classification models, the results showed that the significant differences of maize kernel vigor revealed by standard germination tests generally matched with the classification accuracies of the SVM models. Hyperspectral imaging analysis for two varieties of maize kernels showed similar results, indicating the possibility of using hyperspectral imaging technique combined with chemometric methods to evaluate seed vigor and seed aging degree.

Abstract.In order to ensure that safe and healthy tomatoes can be provided to people, a method for quantitative determination of cadmium content in tomato leaves based on hyperspectral imaging technology was put forward in this study. Tomato leaves with seven cadmium stress gradients were studied. Hyperspectral images of all samples were firstly acquired by the hyperspectral imaging system, then the spectral data were extracted from the hyperspectral images. To simplify the model, three algorithms of competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), variable combination population analysis (VCPA) and bootstrapping soft shrinkage (BOSS) were used to select the feature wavelengths ranging from 431 to 962 nm. Final results showed that BOSS can improve prediction performance and greatly reduce features when compared with the other two selection methods. The BOSS model got the best accuracy in calibration and prediction with R2c of 0.9907 and RMSEC of 0.4257mg/kg, R2p of 0.9821, and RMSEP of 0.6461 mg/kg. Hence, the method of hyperspectral technology combined with the BOSS feature selection is feasible for detecting the cadmium content of tomato leaves, which can potentially provide a new method and thought for cadmium content detection of other crops.

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a non-ionizing and non-contact imaging technique capable of obtaining more information than conventional RGB (red green blue) imaging. In the medical field, HSI has commonly been investigated due to its great potential for diagnostic and surgical guidance purposes. However, the large amount of information provided by HSI normally contains redundant or non-relevant information, and it is extremely important to identify the most relevant wavelengths for a certain application in order to improve the accuracy of the predictions and reduce the execution time of the classification algorithm. Additionally, some wavelengths can contain noise and removing such bands can improve the classification stage. The work presented in this paper aims to identify such relevant spectral ranges in the visual-and-near-infrared (VNIR) region for an accurate detection of brain cancer using in vivo hyperspectral images. A methodology based on optimization algorithms has been proposed for this task, identifying the relevant wavelengths to achieve the best accuracy in the classification results obtained by a supervised classifier (support vector machines), and employing the lowest possible number of spectral bands. The results demonstrate that the proposed methodology based on the genetic algorithm optimization slightly improves the accuracy of the tumor identification in ~5%, using only 48 bands, with respect to the reference results obtained with 128 bands, offering the possibility of developing customized acquisition sensors that could provide real-time HS imaging. The most relevant spectral ranges found comprise between 440.5–465.96 nm, 498.71–509.62 nm, 556.91–575.1 nm, 593.29–615.12 nm, 636.94–666.05 nm, 698.79–731.53 nm and 884.32–902.51 nm.
