Abstract
Mee tea, one of the major types of green tea in China, is often used for export because of its elegant appearance, high fragrance and strong taste. However, the quality of tea differs greatly due to the difference in raw material selection and production technology level. In order to accurately and quickly differentiate different grades of Mee tea, fuzzy fast pseudoinverse linear discriminant analysis (FFPLDA) was proposed based on fast pseudoinverse linear discriminant analysis (FPLDA) for extracting discriminant information from near-infrared (NIR) spectra. Firstly, NIR spectra of Mee tea samples were acquired, and then they were preprocessed by multiplicative scatter correlation (MSC). Secondly, the compression of data was achieved by principal component analysis (PCA). Thirdly, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), FPLDA, FFPLDA and fuzzy Foley-Sammon transformation (FFST) were respectively performed to retrieve discriminant information from NIR data. Finally, the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) was utilized to classify Mee tea grades. In this study, experimental results showed that the accuracy of FFPLDA was higher than that of LDA, FFST and FPLDA. Therefore, NIR spectroscopy coupled with FFPLDA and KNN has a good effect in discrimination of Mee tea grades and also a great application potential.
