dc.description.abstract | Hyperspectral imaging is a powerful remote sensing tool capable of capturing rich spectral and spatial information. Although the origins of hyperspectral imaging are in terrestrial remote sensing, new applications are emerging rapidly. Owing to its non-destructive nature, hyperspectral imaging has become a useful tool for monitoring produce ripeness. This paper describes the process of characterizing and calibrating a visible near-infrared (VNIR) hyperspectral imager for obtaining accurate images of produce to be used in machine learning algorithms for analysis. In this work, many calibrations and characterization are outlined, including: a radiance calibration, the process of calculating reflectance, pixel uniformity and image stability testing, spectral characterization, illumination source analysis, and measurement of the polarization response. The images obtained by the calibrated hyperspectral imager were converted to reflectance across a spectral range of 387.12 nm to 1023.5 nm, with a spectral resolution of 2.12 nm. A convolutional neural network was used to perform age classification for Yukon Gold potatoes, bananas, and green peppers. Additionally, a genetic algorithm was used to determine the wavelengths carrying the most useful information for age classification. Experiments were run using red green blue (RGB) images, full-spectrum hyperspectral images, and the wavelengths selected by the genetic algorithm feature selection method. Preliminary data from these analyses show promising results at accurately classifying produce age. The genetic algorithm feature selection method is being used to develop a low-cost multispectral imager for use in monitoring produce in grocery stores. | en |
