Abstract

Classification and differentiation of clean sugarcane from trash (green sugarcane leaf, dry sugarcane leaf, stone, and soil) are important for the sugar payment system at a sugar mill. Currently, the methods used to do this are manual and subjective. Therefore, this study is aimed at accurately differentiating clean sugarcane from trash by using hyperspectral imaging with multivariate analyses. Samples containing sugarcane billets and trash mixed in a ratio of 18:38 were analyzed in this study. The reflectance data of the samples were analyzed in the wavelength range of 400–1000 nm via principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA model was capable of identifying all of the clean sugarcane and trash samples. The spectral loadings of the PCA model show that the sugarcane and trash samples are easily identifiable based on the color (visible light) of each class, water absorption (approximately 970 nm), and chlorophyll absorption (approximately 680 nm). Based on the characteristic wavelengths of the PCA loading peaks, over 90% of the sugarcane and trash samples were differentiated using a multiple linear regression model. Sugarcane and trash are classified by using partial least-squares discriminant analysis and support vector machine models. For all wavelengths, the classification rate is 92.9% and 98.2%, respectively. This shows that sugarcane and trash can be accurately classified and differentiated by using hyperspectral imaging and multivariate analyses.
