Different varieties of raisins have different nutritional properties and vary in commercial value. An identification method of raisin varieties using hyperspectral imaging was explored. Hyperspectral images of two different varieties of raisins (Wuhebai and Xiangfei) at spectral range of 874–1734 nm were acquired, and each variety contained three grades. Pixel-wise spectra were extracted and preprocessed by wavelet transform and standard normal variate, and object-wise spectra (sample average spectra) were calculated. Principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA) of object-wise spectra and pixel-wise spectra were conducted to select effective wavelengths. Pixel-wise PCA scores images indicated differences between two varieties and among different grades. SVM (Support Vector Machine), k-NN (k-nearest Neighbors Algorithm), and RBFNN (Radial Basis Function Neural Network) models were built to discriminate two varieties of raisins. Results indicated that both SVM and RBFNN models based on object-wise spectra using optimal wavelengths selected by PCA could be used for raisin variety identification. The visualization maps verified the effectiveness of using hyperspectral imaging to identify raisin varieties.
