A rapid and nondestructive tea classification method is of great significance in today’s research. This study uses fluorescence hyperspectral technology and machine learning to distinguish Oolong tea by analyzing the spectral features of tea in the wavelength ranging from 475 to 1100 nm. The spectral data are preprocessed by multivariate scattering correction (MSC) and standard normal variable (SNV), which can effectively reduce the impact of baseline drift and tilt. Then principal component analysis (PCA) and t-distribution random neighborhood embedding (t-SNE) are adopted for feature dimensionality reduction and visual display. Random Forest-Recursive Feature Elimination (RF-RFE) is used for feature selection. Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest Classification (RFC), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are used to establish the classification model. The results show that MSC-RF-RFE-SVM is the best model for the classification of Oolong tea in which the accuracy of the training set and test set is 100% and 98.73%, respectively. It can be concluded that fluorescence hyperspectral technology and machine learning are feasible to classify Oolong tea.

Nondestructive detection of tea’s internal quality is of great significance for the processing and storage of tea. In this study, hyperspectral imaging technology is adopted to quantitatively detect the content of tea polyphenols in Tibetan teas by analyzing the features of the tea spectrum in the wavelength ranging from 420 to 1010 nm. The samples are divided with joint x-y distances (SPXY) and Kennard-Stone (KS) algorithms, while six algorithms are used to preprocess the spectral data. Six other algorithms, Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting (GB), Adaptive boost (AdaBoost), Categorical Boosting (CatBoost), LightGBM, and XGBoost, are used to carry out feature extractions. Then based on a stacking combination strategy, a new two-layer combination prediction model is constructed, which is used to compare with the four individual regressor prediction models: RF Regressor (RFR), CatBoost Regressor (CatBoostR), LightGBM Regressor (LightGBMR) and XGBoost Regressor (XGBoostR). The experimental results show that the newly-built Stacking model predicts more accurately than the individual regressor prediction models. The coefficients of determination $R_c^2$ and$R_p^2$ for the prediction of Tibetan tea polyphenols are 0.9709 and 0.9625, and the root mean square error RMSEC and RMSEP are 0.2766 and 0.3852 for the new model, respectively, which shows that the content of Tibetan tea polyphenols can be determined with precision.

The accurate classification of Amanita is helpful to its research on biological control and medical value, and it can also prevent mushroom poisoning incidents. In this paper, we constructed the Bilinear convolutional neural networks (B-CNN) with attention mechanism model based on transfer learning to realize the classification of Amanita. When the model is trained, the weight on ImageNet is used for pre-training, and the Adam optimizer is used to update network parameters. In the test process, images of Amanita at different growth stages were used to further test the generalization ability of the model. After comparing our model with other models, the results show that our model greatly reduces the number of parameters while achieving high accuracy (95.2%) and has good generalization ability. It is an efficient classification model, which provides a new option for mushroom classification in areas with limited computing resources.
