Nondestructive testing of external defects on Nanguo pear

In view of the common pests and diseases and irregularly shaped fruits of Nanguo pear, this paper fused the spectral information and image features to realize the rapid nondestructive testing and recognition of the external defects on Nanguo pear by hyperspectral imaging technology. Backpropagation neural network and support vector machine model was established to identify external defects, which are commonly used in classification and pattern recognition. The testing results show that recognition effect of support vector machine is better than backpropagation neural network. Among them, the recognition accuracy of fruits damaged by insects and rotten fruits of Nanguo pears reaches 100%. This study provides a theoretical basis for developing online grading system and quality detection of Nanguo pear based on multispectral imaging technique.
