Abstract:
Root-knot nematode is a common plant-parasitic pest with a highly destructive that infects more than 2000 plant species. Panax notoginseng (P. notoginseng) is one of the most susceptible traditional medicine. More importantly, it is difficult to distinguish the powders of P. notoginseng infected with root-knot nematode from those of healthy P. notoginseng due to the color and shape are same after being ground into powder. In this paper, Attenuated Total Reflection-Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) was used to identify P. notoginseng samples. Multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) was applied to preprocess the spectral data. Competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) and successive projection algorithm (SPA) were employed to select feature variables. Density-based spatial clustering of application with noise (DBSCAN) was adopted to discover groups within the data. Also, we found that the geographical origin is a pivotal factor to consider when identifying unhealthy P. notoginseng. Therefore, we introduced a novel multi-label classification (MLC) method to identify healthy and unhealthy P. notoginseng powders from three different geographical origins. In addition, binary relevance method (BR), classifier chain (CC), ensembles of classifier chains (ECC), and multilayer perceptron classifier (MLPC) were applied to create classification models, ECC exhibits superior performance in particular.
