Abstract
Hyperspectral technology, with its high spectrum resolution and nanometer continuous spectral information acquisition ability, provide a possibility for rapidly and nondestructive evaluating compost maturity. In this study, the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) analysis techniques was used to analyze quantitatively organic matter (OM) content, total nitrogen (TN) content and carbon-nitrogen (C/N) ratio in compost based on two different composting procedures. In the basis of spectra preprocessing and strategies of variable selection, the nonlinear modeling LBC-siPLS-PLSR for OM, MSC-SPA-PLSR for TN and R-SPA-PLSR for C/N ratio was respectively constructed using partial least squares regression (PLSR). LBC-siPLS-PLSR, MSC-SPA-PLSR and R-SPA-PLSR provided a better prediction capability with root mean square error of prediction, the coefficient of determination for prediction and residual predictive deviation values of 4.061, 0.746 and 2.02 for OM, values of 0.205, 0.65 and 1.71 for TN and values of 1.11, 0.706 and 2.07 for C/N ratio, respectively. These results showed that the NIRS technique could be fitted to each element, using specific spectrum pretreatment, in order to achieve an acceptable accuracy in the prediction.
