Identification of mine water inrush using laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy combined with one-dimensional...

The application of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) combined with machine learning methods can make up for the shortcomings of traditional hydrochemical methods in the accurate and rapid identification of mine water inrush in coal mines. However, almost all of these methods require preprocessing such as principal component analysis (PCA) or drawing the spectral map as an essential step. Here, we provide our solution for the classification of mine water inrush, in which a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) is trained to automatically identify mine water inrush according to the LIF spectroscopy without the need for preprocessing. First, the architecture and parameters of the model were optimized and the 1D CNN model containing two convolutional blocks was determined to be the best model for the identification of mine water inrush. Then, we evaluated the performance of the 1D CNN model using the LIF spectral dataset of mine water inrush containing 540 training samples and 135 test samples, and we found that all 675 samples could be accurately identified. Finally, superior classification performance was demonstrated by comparing with a traditional machine learning algorithm (genetic algorithm-support vector machine) and a deep learning algorithm (two-dimensional convolutional neural network). The results show that LIF spectroscopy combined with 1D CNN can be used for the fast and accurate identification of mine water inrush without the need for complex pretreatments.
