Rapid and Nondestructive Discrimination of Geographical Origins of Longjing Tea using Hyperspectral Imaging at Two Spectral Ranges Coupled with Machine Learning Methods

Abstract

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.

Quantitative Analysis of Droplet Size Distribution in Plant Protection Spray Based on Machine Learning Method

“…Decision tree (DT), support vector regression (SVR) and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) have a strong ability to deal with nonlinear issues. These methods combined with spectral technology have achieved good results in detection of crop diseases [37], determination of crop origins [38,39] and prediction of physiological indexes [40,41]. It confirms the superiority of machine learning in mining the relationship between variables.…”

“…SVM, based on the statistical learning theory and structural risk minimization, is a supervised classification method which can deal with both linear and nonlinear data efficiently with good generalization ability [25,26]. Compared with other methods, SVM has such advantages as it does not need a large number of training samples for developing a model and is not affected by the presence of outliers [27] and has been proven as a reliable and efficient method for the spectral data analysis of agricultural products [28][29][30][31][32]. Artificial neural networks have been widely used in agriculture areas, including surface inspection of fruits [17,[33][34][35][36][37][38], since regaining their popularity in the early 1980s.…”

Application of Visible/Infrared Spectroscopy and Hyperspectral Imaging With Machine Learning Techniques for Identifying Food Varieties and Geographical Origins

“…Therefore, when establishing a regiontracing model, eliminating the influence of the time factor will help avoid the case that the model based on samples from a specific year could not be successfully applied to predict samples from next year. Moreover, Hong et al (112) used HSI systems covering the two spectral ranges of 380-1,030 nm (VIS/NIR) and 874-1,734 nm (NIR) to classify Longjing tea from six geographical origins. The results indicated that the PLS-DA model had better performance with VIS/NIR (accuracy of 91.98%) than PLS-DA with NIR (accuracy of 84.89%).…”
