The nondestructive estimation of key parameters during plant-field chicken manure composting is of great importance for quality evaluation. In the process of developing regression models using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), methods used for wavelength selection significantly influence on the efficiency of the calibration. This study explored the method of genetic algorithms (GAs) for selecting highly related wavelengths to improve NIRS models for moisture (Miost), pH and electronic conductivity (EC), total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN) and C/N ratio determination in chicken manure during composting. Based on the values of coefficient of determination in the validation set (R2) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), the prediction results were evaluated as excellent for Miost, TC and TN, good for pH and EC, and approximate for C/N ratio. But GAs had better performance than using full spectrum for near-infrared spectroscopy model construction in the process of evaluating key parameters during plant-field chicken manure composting.

A fast non-destructive method of detection of wool content in blended fabrics was studied based on Near Infrared spectroscopy technology in order to avoid the time-consuming, tedious work and the destruction of samples in the traditional inspection. 621 wool/nylon, wool/polyester and wool/nylon/polyester blended fabrics were taken as research objects. To get the wool content, we established the wool near-infrared quantitative model by partial least squares (PLS) method after analyzing the color and composition of the samples. For verifying the validity and practicability of the model, 100 samples were chosen as an independent validation set. The variance analysis shows that there is no significant difference between Near Infrared fast detection method and national standard method (GB/T2910-2009),which indicates that this method is expected to be a means of fast non-destructive detection and will have extensive application future in the field of wool content detection.

In this paper, the content of forsythoside A and ethanol-extract were rapidly determinated by near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS). 85 samples of Forsythiae Fructus harvested in Luoyang from July to September in 2012 were divided into a calibration set (75 samples) and a validation set (10 samples). In combination with the partical least square (PLS), the quantitative calibration models of forsythoside A and ethanol-extract were established. The correlation coefficient of cross-validation (R2) was 0.98247 and 0.97214 for forsythoside A and ethanol-extract, the root-mean-square error of calibration (RMSEC) was 0.184 and 0.570, the root-mean-square error of cross-validation (RMSECV) was 0.81736 and 0.36656. The validation set were used to evaluate the performance of the models, the root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) was 0.221 and 0.518. The results indicated that it was feasible to determine the content of forsythoside A and ethanol-extract in Forsythiae Fructus by near-infrared spectroscopy.

Deep learning is characterized by its strong ability of data feature extraction. This method can provide unique advantages when applying it to visible and near-infrared spectroscopy for predicting soil organic matter (SOM) content in those cases where the SOM content is negatively correlated with the spectral reflectance of soil. This study relied on the SOM content data of 248 red soil samples and their spectral reflectance data of 400–2450 nm in Fengxin County, Jiangxi Province (China) to meet three objectives. First, a multilayer perceptron and two convolutional neural networks (LeNet5 and DenseNet10) were used to predict the SOM content based on spectral variation and variable selection, and the outcomes were compared with that from the traditional back-propagation neural network (BPN). Second, the four methods were applied to full-spectrum modeling to test the difference to selected feature variables. Finally, the potential of direct modeling was evaluated using spectral reflectance data without any spectral variation. The results of prediction accuracy showed that deep learning performed better at predicting the SOM content than did the traditional BPN. Based on full-spectrum data, deep learning was able to obtain more feature information, thus achieving better and more stable results (i.e., similar average accuracy and far lower standard deviation) than those obtained through variable selection. DenseNet achieved the best prediction result, with a coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.892 ± 0.004 and a ratio of performance to deviation (RPD) = 3.053 ± 0.056 in validation. Based on DenseNet, the application of spectral reflectance data (without spectral variation) produced robust results for application-level purposes (validation R2 = 0.853 ± 0.007 and validation RPD = 2.639 ± 0.056). In conclusion, deep learning provides an effective approach to predict the SOM content by visible and near-infrared spectroscopy and DenseNet is a promising method for reducing the amount of data preprocessing.

A espectroscopia no infravermelho próximo (NIRS) é uma técnica não-destrutiva, rápida e utilizada para avaliação, caracterização e classificação de materiais, sobretudo de origem biológica. A obtenção de informações contida nos espectros NIR é complexa e requer a utilização de métodos quimiométricos. Assim, por meio de regressão multivariada, os espectros de absorbância podem ser associados às propriedades da madeira, tornando possível a sua predição em amostras desconhecidas. Existem algumas ferramentas quimiométricas que melhoram o ajuste dos modelos preditivos. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi simular regressões dos mínimos quadrados parciais baseados nas informações espectrais e de laboratório e estudar a influência da aplicação de tratamentos matemáticos, do descarte de amostras anômalas e da seleção de comprimentos de onda no ajuste dos modelos para estimativa da densidade básica e do módulo de elasticidade em ensaio de compressão paralela às fibras da madeira de Eucalyptus. A aplicação da primeira e segunda derivada nos espectros, o descarte de amostras anômalas e a seleção de algumas das variáveis espectrais melhorou significativamente o ajuste do modelo, reduzindo o erro padrão e aumentando o coeficiente de determinação e a relação de desempenho do desvio.Palavras-chave:  Espectroscopia no infravermelho próximo; predição; densidade básica; MOE; madeira; Eucalyptus. AbstractOptimization of calibrations based on near infrared spectroscopy for estimation of Eucalyptus wood properties. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-destructive technique used for rapid evaluation, characterization and classification of biological materials. The extraction of the information contained in the NIR spectrum is complex and requires the use of chemo metric methods. Thus, by means of multivariate regression, the absorbance spectra are correlated to wood properties, making possible the prediction in unknown samples. There are some chemo metric tools that can improve the adjustment of the predictive models. The aim of this work was to simulate partial least squares regression based on NIR spectra and laboratory data and to study the influence of the application of mathematical treatment, the removal of outliers and the wavelengths selection in the adjustment of models to estimate the density and modulus of elasticity in Eucalyptus wood. The use of the first and second derivative spectra, the disposal of outliers, and the variables selection improved significantly the model fit, reducing the standard error and increasing the coefficient of determination and the ratio of performance to deviation.Keywords: Near infrared; spectroscopy; prediction; density; MOE; wood; Eucalyptus.

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was used as a rapid and nondestructive method to determine the content of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in powdered oil samples. A total of 82 samples were scanned in the diffuse reflectance mode by Nicolet 5700 FTIR spectrometer and the reference values for DHA was measured by gas chromatography. Calibration equations were developed using partial least-squares regression (PLS) with internal cross-validation. Samples were split in two sets, one set used as calibration (n = 66) whereas the remaining samples (n=16) were used as validation set. Two mathematical treatments (first and second derivative), none (log(1/R)) and standard normal variate as scatter corrections and Savitzky—Golay smoothing were explored. To decide upon the number of PLS factors included in the PLS model, the model with the lowest root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSECV=0.44) for the validation set is chosen. The correlation coefficient (r) between the predicted and the reference results which used as an evaluation parameter for the models is 0.968. The root mean square error of prediction of the final model is 0.59. The results reported in this article demonstrate that FT-NIR measurements can serve as a rapid method to determine DHA in powdered oil.

Abstract The purpose of the research was to predict quality attributes of ‘manalagi’ apples using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The desired quality attributes were water content and soluble solids content. Spectra data collection was performed at wavelength of 702 to 1065 nm using a Nirvana AG410 spectrometer. The original spectra were enhanced using orthogonal signal correction (OSC). The regression approaches used in the study were partial least squares regression (PLSR) and principal component regression (PCR). The results showed that water content prediction acquired coefficient of determination in calibration set (R2cal) of 0.81, coefficient of determination in prediction set (R2pred) of 0.61, root mean squares error of calibration set (RMSEC) of 0.009, root mean squares of prediction set (RMSEP) of 0.020, and ratio performance to deviation (RPD) of 1.62, while soluble solids content prediction displayed R2cal, R2pred, RMSEC, RMSEP, and RPD of 0.79, 0.85, 0.474, 0.420, and 2.69, respectively. These findings indicated that near infrared spectroscopy could be used as an alternative technique to predict water content and soluble solids content of ‘manalagi’ apples.

Gel time of prepreg is an important quality determinant in the manufacturing process of Copper Clad Laminate (CCL). Prepreg consists of a glass fiber reinforcement impregnated to a predetermined level with a resin matrix. In this work, near infrared spectroscopy associated with partial least squares (PLS) regression has been applied to analyse the gel time of prepreg samples in the manufacturing process. A total of 250 prepreg samples were randomly divided into a calibration set and a validation prediction set with a ratio of 4:1. The values of Root Mean Square Error of leave-one-out Cross-Validation (RMSECV) and the coefficient of determination (R2) of the calibration model was 2.95 s and 0.92 respectively, with eight PLS factors used. The results of the paired t-test revealed that there was no significant difference between the NIR method and the reference method. The analytical result showed that, NIR spectroscopy was a rapid, nondestructive, and accurate method for real-time prediction of prepreg quality in the CCL manufacturing process.

For the fast and exact detection of printing color, we combine the near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy technique with partial least square (PLS) to build the detection model of printing color. Applying the 144 samples of spectral curve which obtained by the near infrared spectroscopy randomly separated into calibration set and validation set, and base on the 120 calibration set data to establish the prediction model of printing color by PLS, then this model is employed for predicting the color of the 24 validation set. The RMSEC of the 24 blocks’ color parameters L*, a*, b*, E are 0.73, 2.26, 3.03 and 1.09 respectively; The RMSEP are 0.97, 2.77, 3.57 and 1.34 respectively. Those results tell that the NIR spectrum and blocks’ color parameters L*, a*, b*, E could accurately establish a quantitative regression model, applying such model also can accurately predict unknown samples, and the results approximate to the original reference data. The use of near infrared spectroscopy to detect the printed matter nondestructively is feasible, and lays the foundation for the further analysis and establishment of printing chroma model.

This study aimed to analyze use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to estimate wood density of Eucalyptus grandis. For that, 66 27-year-old trees were logged and central planks were removed from each log. Test pieces 2.5 x 2.5 x 5.0 cm in size were removed from the base of each plank, in the pith-bark direction, and subjected to determination of bulk and basic density at 12% moisture (dry basis), followed by spectral readings in the radial, tangential and transverse directions using a Bruker Tensor 37 infrared spectrophotometer. The calibration to estimate wood density was developed based on the matrix of spectra obtained from the radial face, containing 216 samples. The partial least squares regression to estimate bulk wood density of Eucalyptus grandis provided a coefficient of determination of validation of 0.74 and a ratio performance deviation of 2.29. Statistics relating to the predictive models had adequate magnitudes for estimating wood density from unknown samples, indicating that the above technique has potential for use in replacement of conventional testing.
