Physical property characterization of chilled lamb by hyperspectral imaging and partial least squares regression
摘要
Traditional lamb quality testing relies on destructive physical and chemical analyses that are time-consuming and require strict experimental conditions. Hyperspectral imaging offers a non-destructive, rapid, and high-throughput alternative but faces issues such as data anomalies and weak predictions of nonlinear quality traits. Using chilled lamb, we established a spectral model for physical quality characterization based on hardness (g) and elasticity (g/sec). A second-iteration Monte Carlo sampling method was designed to improve data quality and reduce abnormal sample misclassification. We employed the statistical approach to filter irrelevant and redundant information from spectral data by using coupled t-detection and contribution measures. On this basis, a dimensionality reduction partial least squares regression (DR-PLSR) model was developed for quantitative prediction of lamb physical properties. The optimal model achieved an
