Hyperspectral Data Analysis for Detecting Lead Pollution in Rice

This paper presents a new method for detecting lead pollution in rice by analyzing hyperspectral data. First, preprocessing method is used to remove the outliers which deviate so much from other hyperspectral data. Then, dimensionality-reduced data are made by using discrete wavelet transform. Finally, linear discriminant analysis is utilized to extract the feature which characterizes polluted and unpolluted rice. The experimental result based on the proposed method shows the good performance in detecting lead pollution in rice.
