Abstract

Black heart disease is one of the screening indicators of seed potatoes, which has a serious impact on the quality and yield of potato, and at present there are fewer non-destructive testing methods for internal defects of seed potatoes. This paper aims to utilize non-destructive testing technology to quickly identify qualified and black hearted seed potatoes, and then to protect yield and food security. In this paper, transmission spectroscopy system was utilized to collect the spectral data of 104 qualified seed potatoes and 104 black hearted seed potatoes in 450~940 nm band. Subsequently, four algorithms, namely Savitzky-Golay (SG), Standard Normal Variate (SNV), Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC) and First-order Derivative (FD), were utilized to pre-process the seed potatoes spectral data to improve the data noise ratio. Feature wavelength extraction was made using Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling (CARS) and Successive Projections Algorithm (SPA) to enhance the sample data characteristics and improve the model interpretability. The construction of classification models for qualified and black hearted seed potatoes relied on two deep learning techniques, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), which were trained and tested for the feature bands respectively. The experimental results showed that SG-CARS-CNN was the optimal combination of classification algorithms, and the classification accuracies of both the training set and the test set reached 100%, which improved the accuracy of the test set by 3.85% compared with that of the traditional machine learning algorithms, and provided an accurate method for the rapid screening of qualified seed potatoes.
