Abstract:

In response to the demand for quality inspection of potatoes, a handheld non-destructive detection device for potato dry matter was developed. The hardware components of the device included a spectrum acquisition module, a circuit control module, a control and display module, device housing module. The design of the device was gun-shaped with dimensions of 180 mm×85 mm×210 mm. The device utilized visible-near infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, comparing pre-processing methods such as Savitzky-Golay convolution smoothing (SM), first-order derivative (FD), multiple scattering correction (MSC), and standard normal variate transformation (SNV), with SM yielding better results. Competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) was used to select 27 feature wavelengths to establish a support vector regression (SVR) prediction model for potato dry matter content, with validation set coefficient of determination and root mean square error of 0.802 and 0.98%, respectively. The device software was developed using the QT development tool, including modules for black and white calibration and measurement, power display, spectral data display, data storage, spectral data refresh, and detection result display. Device verification was conducted, showing a prediction root mean square error of 1.01% and an average time consumption of 0.62 s per measurement. The results indicated that the handheld non-destructive detection device for potato dry matter could rapidly and accurately detect dry matter content, demonstrating potential for application at the source and processing sites of potato production.
