Detection storage time of mild bruise’s yellow peaches using the combined hyperspectral imaging and machine learning method

Abstract

To deduce the process of bruise and reduce the number of bruised fruits from the source, the storage time of yellow peaches after bruise should be identified. In order to distinguish the different storage times of mild bruise’s yellow peaches more effectively than current detection methods, the combined hyperspectral imaging and machine learning method was proposed. Firstly, the sample bruise region spectrum was extracted as spectral features, and then, the hyperspectral images were processed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and eight single-wavelength images were selected according to the weight coefficient curve of PC1 images, and the gray values of the selected images were calculated as image features. Finally, in order to find the optimal discriminative model, random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) models were built based on spectral features, image features, and spectral features combined with image features, respectively. The results show that the XGBoost models based on spectral features, image features, and spectral features combined with image features are the optimal models with the overall accuracy of 77.50%, 87.50% and 90.00%, respectively. To simplify the model, Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling (CARS) algorithm was used to screen the wavelength of the normalized spectral data, and then they were fused with the image feature data again and the XGBoost model with an overall model accuracy of 95.00% was built. To sum up, the combined hyperspectral imaging and machine learning method can be used to distinguish the different storage times (2 h, 8 h, 24 h and 48 h) of mild bruise’s yellow peaches effectively. It provides a certain theoretical basis for hyperspectral imaging technology in fruit bruise detection.

Detection of early bruises on apples using near‐infrared camera imaging technology combined with adaptive threshold segmentation algorithm

“…In recent years, the rapid development of machine learning, especially deep learning, has provided powerful tools and methods for solving practical problems in various fields. Traditional machine learning methods, such as support vector machines (Li et al, 2022; Su et al, 2022), random forests (Feng et al, 2022), k‐nearest neighbors (Nturambirwe et al, 2021), deep learning methods (Liu et al, 2022), and so forth, such as target detection algorithms (Yao et al, 2021; Yuan et al, 2022), semantic segmentation algorithm (Liang et al, 2022), and so forth, combined with machine vision systems have been widely used in the field of fruit bruise detection and have achieved significant results.…”

Recent developments of e-sensing devices coupled to data processing techniques in food quality evaluation: a critical review

“…9. Fruits such as peaches, 2,141–144 Chinese wolfberries, 145 mandarins, 146 apples, 50,147,148 grapes, 149 pomegranates, 150 mangoes, 151 and many other fruits and vegetables (see Table 6) were broadly graded relying on optical information. Another category of food products prone to be evaluated by these systems were nuts, grains, beans, seeds such as chia seeds, 152 soybeans, 153 cocoa beans.…”

Study on the influence of region of interest on the detection of total sugar content in apple using hyperspectral imaging technology

“…In the process of hyperspectral image acquisition, the image will be mixed with some noise information, due to the difference in the intensity distribution of light source in each band and the influence of camera dark current noise (Li et al, 2022a). These noise information will affect the quality of hyperspectral images, and then affect the accuracy and stability of qualitative or quantitative analysis models based on hyperspectral images.…”
