Special Issue Information

In recent years, deep learning has shown tremendous performance and promise in various visual information extraction, detection, and analysis tasks for diverse scientific communities and industries. Hyperspectral images carry both visual and spectral information, which has proven to be really useful and effective for nondestructive visual detection and analysis tasks. With the advent of deep learning, a lot of progress has been made in deep learning-based hyperspectral image processing and analysis, especially for remote sensing applications. Still, a lot of work needs to be done for many other applications to improve deep learning-based hyperspectral imaging and find solutions to challenging real-world problems. This Special Issue aims to introduce and promote recent research on adaptation and applications of deep learning for hyperspectral image processing and analysis. This Special Issue is particularly interested in recent work involving new and innovative methods for nondestructive quality and safety assessment and sensing of materials and products with deep learning-based hyperspectral imaging.

We solicit both original research papers and review articles on various aspects of deep learning-based hyperspectral imaging, including but not limited to, the following topics and applications:

  • Transfer learning
  • Deep learning architectures and models
  • Quality and safety assessment of agriculture and food products
  • Plant phenotyping
  • Environment monitoring
  • Precision agriculture
  • Health and medical applications
  • Instrumentation
  • Sensor/data fusion
  • Spectral image management, pretreatment, and processing

During the processing and planting of soybeans, it is greatly significant that a reliable, rapid, and accurate technique is used to detect soybean varieties. Traditional chemical analysis methods of soybean variety sampling (e.g., mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography) are destructive and time-consuming. In this paper, a robust and accurate method for nondestructive soybean classification is developed through hyperspectral imaging and ensemble machine learning algorithms. Image acquisition, preprocessing, and feature selection are used to obtain different types of soybean hyperspectral features. Based on these features, one of ensemble classifiers-random subspace linear discriminant (RSLD) algorithm is used to classify soybean seeds. Compared with the linear discrimination (LD) and linear support vector machine (LSVM) methods, the results show that the RSLD algorithm in this paper is more stable and reliable. In classifying soybeans in 10, 15, 20, and 25 categories, the RSLD method achieves the highest classification accuracy. When 155 features are used to classify 15 types of soybeans, the classification accuracy of the RSLD method reaches 99.2%, while the classification accuracies of the LD and LSVM methods are only 98.6% and 69.7%, respectively. Therefore, the ensemble classification algorithm RSLD can maintain high classification accuracy when different types and different classification features are used. Full article
