Detection of Honey Adulteration using Hyperspectral Imaging

IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2016
Abstract: This study investigates the application of hyperspectral imaging system and data mining based classifiers for honey adulteration detection. Hyperspectral images from pure and adulterated samples were captured in using a VIS-NIR hyperspectral camera (400 – 1000 nm). After preprocessing the images, five different data mining based techniques,
