Abstract:In order to non-destructively discriminate mango ripeness, this paper focuses on exploring the use of visible near-infrared hyperspectral imaging combined with deep learning methods. The hyperspectral data of unripe, ripe and overripe mangoes in the wavelength range of 400~1000nm were collected by diffuse reflectance hyperspectral imaging system, and the SPXY algorithm was used to divide them into training, validation and testing sets according to 6:2:2. After the spectral pre-processing such as Wavelet Threshold Denoising (WTD) and Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC), a 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1DCNN) was constructed. At the same time, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Bootstrapping Soft Shrinkage (BOSS) were used to extract the feature bands, and the classification model of Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DS) and Extreme learning machine (ELM) was constructed. Comparative analysis shows that the 1DCNN model based on multiple scattering correction preprocessing has the best performance, with a classification accuracy of 98.30% and a Kappa coefficient of 0.97 on the test set. The conclusion of the study shows that the combination of hyperspectral imaging technology and neural network algorithm can discriminate mango ripeness with high accuracy and without loss, and provide a theoretical basis for the practical application of automated mango sorting.
