Classification of freshwater fish species by linear discriminant analysis based on near infrared reflectance spectroscopy

摘要

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy was used to discriminate different species of freshwater fish samples. Samples from seven freshwater fish species of the family Cyprinidae (black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus), grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), crucian (Carassius auratus), and bream (Parabramis pekinensis)) were scanned by near infrared reflectance spectroscopy from 1000 nm to 1799 nm. Linear discriminant analysis models were built for the classification of species. We inspected the effect of partial least square, principal component analysis, competitive adaptive reweighted sampling, and fast Fourier transform on linear discriminant analysis. The results showed that the dimension reduction methods worked very well for this example. Linear discriminant analysis models which were combined with principal component analysis and fast Fourier transform could classify accurately all the samples under multiplicative scatter correction pre-processing. According to the loadings in principal component analysis, spectra wavelengths 1000, 1001, 1154, 1208, 1284, 1288, 1497, 1665, and 1770 nm were selected as effective wavelengths in linear discriminant analysis. The discriminant analysis was simplified by using effective wavelengths as independent variables in a linear discriminant analysis model. This study indicated that linear discriminant analysis combined with near infrared reflectance spectroscopy could be an effective strategy for the classification of freshwater fish species.
