A fast multi-source information fusion strategy based on deep learning for species identification of boletes

Wild mushroom market is an important economic source of Yunnan province in China, and its wild mushroom resources are also valuable wealth in the world. This work will put forward a method of species identification and optimize the method in order to maintain the market order and protect the economic benefits of wild mushrooms. Here we establish deep learning (DL) models based on the two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) images of near-infrared spectroscopy from boletes, and optimize the identification effect of the model. The results show that synchronous 2DCOS is the best method to establish DL model, and when the learning rate was 0.01, the epochs were 40, using stipes and caps data, the identification effect would be further improved. This method retains the complete information of the samples and can provide a fast and noninvasive method for identifying boletes species for market regulators.
