[3-D modeling of origin discrimination of fragrant mushrooms using visible/near infrared spectra].
The potential of visible/near infrared absorbance spectroscopy as a way for the nondestructive discrimination of various fragrant mushrooms was evaluated. First, the spectral data ranging from 375 to 1025 nm were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) for data compression and space clustering. The resulting accumulative credibility of 94.37% based on the first three principle components (PCs) was achieved. This signifies that it is possible to establish a model for the sample discrimination in three dimensional space. Then, a new method in which space division planes were established based on the 3-D PC score plot was proposed. Due to the irregular sample distribution, the division planes for sample discrimination were established through genetic algorithm (GA). The fitness function was evaluated based on the number of the samples that have wrong sign by the division plane function. The goal is to achieve the minimum of the fitness function. Various parameters were predetermined, including population size, selection method, crossover rate, mutation rate and iteration number. Three plane functions were conducted as the model for sample discrimination. In order to evaluate the prediction performance of the new model, another model based on PCA and 3-layer BP-ANN was created and brought into comparison. The three PCs were adopted as the input of the BP-ANN. The number of the neurons in the middle layer was optimized based on the calibration error. The output layer was encoded in binary number. In the test, a total of 195 samples were examined, in which 150 samples were selected randomly for model building and the other 45 for model prediction. Both models adopted the same calibration set and prediction set. The result indicated that the two models established by different methods had similar capability of sorting the same samples out of others. Both models featured more than 91% of sample recognition rate. It can be concluded that while BP-ANN tends to solve high-dimension data analysis, the new method proves reliable and practicable in the three dimensional space so that it could serve as an approach to machine recognition of fragrant mushrooms with various origins.
