Black Heart Detection in White Radish by Hyperspectral Transmittance Imaging Combined with Chemometric Analysis and a Successive Projections Algorithm

Abstract

Radishes with black hearts will lose edible value and cause food safety problems, so it is important to detect and remove the defective ones before processing and consumption. A hyperspectral transmittance imaging system with 420 wavelengths was developed to capture images from white radishes. A successive-projections algorithm (SPA) was applied with 10 wavelengths selected to distinguish defective radishes with black hearts from normal samples. Pearson linear correlation coefficients were calculated to further refine the set of wavelengths with 4 wavelengths determined. Four chemometric classifiers were developed for classification of normal and defective radishes, using 420, 10 and 4 wavelengths as input variables. The overall classifying accuracy based on the four classifiers were 95.6%-100%. The highest classification with 100% was obtained with a back propagation artificial neural network (BPANN) for both calibration and prediction using 420 and 10 wavelengths. Overall accuracies of 98.4% and 97.8% were obtained for calibration and prediction, respectively, with Fisher's linear discriminant analysis (FLDA) based on 4 wavelengths, and was better than the other three classifiers. This indicated that the developed hyperspectral transmittance imaging was suitable for black heart detection in white radishes with the optimal wavelengths, which has potential for fast on-line discrimination before food processing or reaching storage shelves.

Early Detection of Aspergillus parasiticus Infection in Maize Kernels Using Near-Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging and Multivariate Data Analysis

“…The raw spectral data (from ROIs) contained scattering noise generated by a camera, random noise, baseline offset, non-uniformity and surface scattering in samples [28]. Therefore, to highlight the effective information, pretreatment techniques were applied.…”

Data compression in ViSAR sensor networks using non-linear adaptive weighting

“…As shown in Eqs. (12)(13)(14)(15)(16), efficient weights of ALMMSE are very similar to LMMSE weights. In fact, we do not consider any equal weights for these four nearest pixels, and therefore, the approach is fully adaptive whereas LMMSE always selects the same weights for the collinear pixels.…”

“…We can also use the proposed approach for magnifying some multispectral images such as IKONOS and Quick-Bird images or images related to high-resolution optical remote sensing sensors [11][12][13]. In addition, there are many other applications for interpolation algorithms, e.g., data hiding [14][15][16][17][18], interpolation-based image denoising and demosaicking [19][20][21], SDTV to HDTV conversion (SD2HD) [2] in video processing, color processing [22], information fusion [8,9], and shadow detection [23] which can be assisted by ALMMSE algorithm.…”

Multispectral Imaging for Plant Food Quality Analysis and Visualization

“…The highest classification accuracy of 82% was obtained for insect‐infested apples (Rady and others ). The multispectral imaging technique has also been widely investigated to detect various types of defects (such as insect damage, bruising, decay, cold injury, black heart, puncture injury, and cracks) on various plant foods (such as peach, radish, sunflower seed, citrus, and jujube) (Ma and others ; Zhang and others ; Folch‐Fortuny and others ; Li and others , ; Liu and others ; Pan and others ; Song and others ; Wu and others ). Based on feature wavelengths associated with corresponding defects, simplified models (such as soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA), PCA, ANN, LS‐SVM, FLDA, and MNF) were conducted for nondestructively assessing defects on such plant foods with classification accuracies of over 90%.…”
