Abstract:

Traditional hyperspectral imaging technology has been widely used in the nondestructive detection of crops in recent years. However, laboratory conditions can not fully simulate the field environment in which crops grow, leading to poor extrapolation performance of models. In contrast, in-situ sensing based on hyperspectral imaging technology directly collects spectral information from crops in the field without damaging samples, thereby preserving their state in real environments. This approach yields data that aligns more closely with actual agricultural production scenarios, enabling the development of more practical predictive models. Consequently, hyperspectral imaging technology holds great potential for in-situ sensing of crop quality and safety. This review briefly introduces the fundamental principles and processes of in-situ sensing based on hyperspectral imaging technology, focusing on its research progress in crop quality and safety. It further summarizes major challenges such as insufficient model generalization, difficulties in field deployment, and substantial environmental interference. Future research directions are discussed from the perspectives of hardware advancement, algorithmic innovation, and technological integration, aiming to support continued progress in this field.
