Imaging spectroscopy has emerged as a reliable analytical method for effectively characterizing and quantifying quality attributes of agricultural products. By providing spectral information relevant to food quality properties, imaging spectroscopy has been demonstrated to be a potential method for rapid and non-destructive classification, authentication, and prediction of quality parameters of various categories of tubers, including potato and sweet potato. The imaging technique has demonstrated great capacities for gaining rapid information about tuber physical properties (such as texture, water binding capacity, and specific gravity), chemical components (such as protein, starch, and total anthocyanin), varietal authentication, and defect aspects.

1. Introduction

Imaging spectroscopy integrates the main features of imaging and spectroscopic technologies, which can simultaneously acquire spatial and spectral information of an object [1][2][3][4][5]. This technology has been widely used in the quantitative determination and visualization of food physical and chemical values. In a hyperspectral image, each pixel contains a continuous spectrum composed of hundreds of wavebands [6][7][8]. The 3-dimension (3-D) spectral image with two spatial dimensions and one spectral dimension can be generated by area scan (tunable filter), line scan (pushbroom), or point scan (whiskbroom) [9]. As the successor of hyperspectral technology, multispectral technology can obtain several discrete spectral data from the test sample to characterize a certain characteristic parameter of the object of interest [10][11]. The Vis region (380–780 nm) contains spectral information related to color characteristics. The NIR spectrum is mainly in the range of 780–2500 nm, while the MIR spectrum is in the range of 2500–25,000 nm. The far infrared (FIR) spectrum is in the farther spectral range (25,000–300,000 nm). NIR and MIR spectra have higher energy than FIR spectra. These two spectra are more suitable for analyzing fingerprint information related to chemical components [12][13]. NIR spectrum is used to analyze the stretching and bending of chemical bonds, including O–H, S–H, N–H, and C–H [14]. MIR spectrum is mainly related to basic vibration and rotational vibration structure [15], which contains characteristic information related to chemical functional groups [16][17].

The spectral parameters of the detected object and its physical or chemical properties can be correlated by machine learning. Machine learning uses mathematical algorithms to explore the rules that exist in big data to assist decision-making, involving unsupervised learning and supervised learning. More information about machine learning can be found elsewhere [18]. Based on the establishment of the calibration model, the parameter values of unknown samples can be predicted. Machine learning methods, such as principal component regression (PCR), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), support vector machine (SVM), partial least squares regression (PLSR), multiple linear regression (MLR), locally weighted partial least squares regression (LWPLSR), artificial neural network (ANN), and least square support vector machine (LS-SVM), have been widely used in food analysis [19][20][21][22][23]. Feature variable selection based on genetic algorithm (GA) [24] , competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) [25][26], first-derivative and mean centering iteration algorithm (FMCIA) [27], regression coefficient (RC), successive projection algorithm (SPA) [28], and principal components analysis (PCA) [ 58] help to eliminate the feature overlap of continuous spectral information, which is conducive to the development of more robust and simplified machine learning models [29]. A high-performance model requires higher determination coefficients for cross-validation ( R 2CV ) and prediction ( R 2P ), correlation coefficients for prediction ( R P ), and lower root mean square errors for cross-validation (RMSECV) and prediction (RMSEP). Figure 1 shows the schematic of a general framework for tuber quality determination based on imaging spectroscopy. Detailed applications of the technology are given in the following section.

3. Challenges and Future Prospects

In general, the feasibility of imaging spectroscopy and machine learning in intelligent determination of potato and sweet potato quality has been confirmed by empirical studies. Portable spectroscopy systems allow users to get real-time evaluations of food quality parameters while reducing operational uncertainty and response time. The drawback of traditional spectroscopic methods is that spectral data are collected from a single point or from a small portion of tested samples which may not guarantee data accuracy and representativeness. The NIR point spectroscopy would provide a mean spectrum of several single points (average measurement) of a sample, irrespective of the area of the sample scanned. As the spectra collected are averaged to provide a single spectrum, the information on spatial distribution of constituents within the sample is thus lost. Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced spectroscopic technique with the advantage of acquiring spatially distributed spectral information at each pixel of an object, which is helpful to evaluate the heterogeneity of spectral signature captured from center and ends of the sample. Although values of predicted concentrations were verified and comparable to the measured values based on reference methods, to further verify these results, samples of variability including different batches, harvesting seasons, and origins should be investigated in future research.
The developed machine learning methods with effective wavelength selection showed greater ability for food quality assessment. There is no unique method to select wavelengths for a particular study. FMCIA demonstrated good performance, but further research to improve and demonstrate the robustness of the algorithm and the logic behind should be carried out in future. Additionally, future work is required to further investigate other chemometrics methods. Nonlinear modelling algorithms, such as LWPLSR and LWPCR based models, showed higher performances than linear methods. Although PLSR-based algorithms are recognized data-mining approaches, further studies are needed to improve the prediction precision and comprehensively apply them to practical uses. More studies are needed to further validate the performance of these approaches, and to develop novel simplified models in visualizing tuber quality parameters. Further study should also be conducted to monitor the change of other chemical compositions (such as ascorbic acid) in potato and sweet potato tubers. In recent years, deep learning algorithms have become increasingly popular [64]. One of the main reasons is the scalability of the data sets and the performance growth of deep learning in training phase. The availability of parallel processing and large-scale data sets simplifies the deep learning research. Deep neural networks may perform well in image classification of various foods, but they rely on a large number of labeled samples for model training [65]. Additionally, the algorithm is not sufficient enough to identify objects with high occlusion. The training data set is better to be large enough to prevent overfitting. The acquisition of large data sets often requires a large number of images to be annotated, which is a high labor cost [66].
Based on these chemical-free evaluation approaches, the sample preparation time is significantly decreased, and the errors emerged during subjective judgement are greatly reduced. On behalf of the regulatory inspection and the goal to guarantee superior product quality in food industry, imaging spectroscopy has replenished the new knowledge of determinations of food quality parameters. Given the flourishing innovation and progress in data analysis and modeling recently, it is anticipated that such imaging spectroscopy will gradually become the prevailing measurement method for quality evaluations of food products in both laboratorial and industrial scales. Thus, the applications of imaging spectroscopy have been epitomized as potential tools for quality evaluations of food products.
The depth of the analyses can be improved in future with respect to the following aspects:
(a) the robustness of the models against group variability. This can be done by leaving an entire batch or cultivar out and testing if the models still provide good predictions. Other influencing factors with different variabilities, including samples from various batches, harvesting seasons, origins, and milling processes, should be considered;
(b) the robustness of the selected set of wavebands. This can be done by performing the selection for different calibration and validation splits and evaluating if the same combination is always chosen. Additionally, different sources of samples can be used to validate the selected feature variables;
(c) carefully benchmarking the new methods against state-of-the-art ones and evaluating whether the differences in prediction performance are significant.
It has been implied that the existing spectral imaging systems are still in the developmental stage, and new strategies should be proposed to develop real-time and low-cost detection systems for food industry. With the further joint development of artificial intelligence and spectral imaging techniques, it could be anticipated that more advanced optical and imaging instruments will be established to simultaneously acquire spectral and spatial information of test specimens at laboratory and industrial scales.
