Visible and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Combined With Bayes Classifier Based on Wavelength Model Optimization Applied to Wine Multibrand Identification.

The identification of high-quality wine brands can avoid adulteration and fraud and protect the rights and interests of producers and consumers. Since the main components of wine are roughly the same, the characteristic components that can distinguish wine brands are usually trace amounts and not unique. The conventional quantitative detection method for brand identification is complicated and difficult. The naive Bayes (NB) classifier is an algorithm based on probability distribution, which is simple and particularly suitable for multiclass discriminant analysis. However, the absorbance probability between spectral wavelengths is not necessarily strongly independent, which limits the application of Bayes method in spectral pattern recognition. This research proposed a Bayes classifier algorithm based on wavelength optimization. First, a large-scale wavelength screening for equidistant combination (EC) was performed, and then wavelength step-by-step phase-out (WSP) was carried out to reduce the correlation between wavelengths and improve the accuracy of Bayes discrimination. The proposed EC-WSP-Bayes method was applied to the 5-category discriminant analysis of wine brand identification based on visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy. Among them, four types of wine brands were collected from regular sales channels as identification brands. The fifth type of samples was composed of 21 other commercial brand wines and home-brewed wines from various sources, as the interference brand. The optimal EC-WSP-Bayes model was selected, the corresponding wavelength combination was 404, 600, 992, 2,070, 2,266, and 2,462 nm located in the visible light, shortwave NIR, and combination frequency regions. In modeling and independent validation, the total recognition accuracy rate (RAR
