Firstly, we design a dual-backbone network based on CSPDarknet53 and combine with an efficient partial spatial pyramid pooling module (EPSPPM), improving the efficiency of feature extraction in different modalities. Secondly, a feature attention fusion module (FAFM) is built to adaptively weaken modal redundant information to improve the fusion effect of features.

NIRS, a technology that uses near-infrared light for material analysis, is often employed for this purpose. Traditionally, automatic identification of NIRS has relied on classical machine learning methods. However, these conventional algorithms tend to lack accuracy when dealing with complex spectra. This article proposes a tea classification method based on a 1-dimensional residual network(1DResNet) model combined with transfer learning. The method is implemented in several steps. First, the 1DResNet model is pre-trained using a pre-training dataset. Then, the parameters of the feature extraction layers are frozen, and the model is fine-tuned using a fine-tuning dataset. Finally, the fine-tuned 1DResNet model is tested on a separate test dataset. Compared to traditional machine learning algorithms like Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), the fine-tuned 1DResNet model demonstrates significantly improved classification accuracy (by more than 4.32%). Furthermore, compared to a 1DResNet model without fine-tuning, accuracy improves by 4.96%. When compared to a fine-tuned 1-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1DCNN), the accuracy increases by 4%.This notable improvement highlights the potential of the fine-tuned 1DResNet model in handling complex spectral data. The method also performs well in transfer learning tasks; both black tea and green tea classification results demonstrate that the 1DResNet model with fine-tuning has strong potential for migration tasks.

Recently, considering spatial information in sparse unmixing frameworks has become increasingly important, as it enhances the accuracy of mixed pixel decomposition. However, challenges such as spectral mismatch due to high correlation among endmember spectra and susceptibility to complex noise, like Gaussian and sparse noise, affect unmixing accuracy. To address these issues, this paper introduces the robust spatially regularized sparse unmixing algorithm with spectral library pruning (RSUSLP). The algorithm decomposes the unmixing process into multiple layers and prunes the spectral library at each layer to alleviate spectral mismatch. It models sparse noise within the unmixing framework and utilizes spectral weighting in conjunction with spatial weighting to increase row sparsity and spatial correlation, thus improving robustness. The optimization problem described in the algorithm is solved using the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). As illustrated by experimental results from both simulated and real hyperspectral data, RSUSLP significantly surpasses current sparse unmixing methods by reducing spectral library interference and effectively handling noise, thereby enhancing the accuracy and performance of mixed pixel decomposition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13549,"journal":{"name":"Infrared Physics & Technology","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 105697"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143102037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
