| Summary: | Monitoring anthocyanins is essential for assessing nutritional value and the growth status of plants. This study aimed to utilize hyperspectral technology to non-destructively monitor anthocyanin levels. Spectral data were preprocessed using standard normal variate (SNV) and first-derivative (FD) spectral processing. Feature wavelengths were selected using uninformative variable elimination (UVE) and UVE combined with competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (UVE + CARS). The optimal two-band vegetation index (VI2) and three-band vegetation index (VI3) were then calculated. Finally, dung beetle optimization (DBO), subtraction-average-based optimization (SABO), and the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) optimized the extreme learning machine (ELM) for modeling. The results indicated the following: (1) For the feature band selection methods, the UVE-CARS-SNV-DBO-ELM model achieved an R<sub>m</sub><sup>2</sup> of 0.8623, an RMSE<sub>m</sub> of 0.0098, an R<sub>v</sub><sup>2</sup> of 0.8617, and an RMSE<sub>v</sub> of 0.0095, resulting in an RPD of 2.7192, further demonstrating that UVE-CARS enhances feature band extraction based on UVE and indicating a strong model performance. (2) For the vegetation index, VI3 showed a better predictive accuracy than VI2. The VI3-WOA-ELM model achieved an R<sub>m</sub><sup>2</sup> of 0.8348, an RMSE<sub>m</sub> of 0.0109 mg/g, an R<sub>v</sub><sup>2</sup> of 0.812, an RMSE<sub>v</sub> of 0.011 mg/g, and an RPD of 2.3323, demonstrating good performance. (3) For the optimization algorithms, the DBO, SABO, and WOA all performed well in optimizing the ELM model. The R<sup>2</sup> of the DBO model increased by 5.8% to 27.82%, that of the SABO model by 2.92% to 26.84%, and that of the WOA model by 3.75% to 27.51%. These findings offer valuable insights for future anthocyanin monitoring using hyperspectral technology, highlighting the effectiveness of feature selection and optimization algorithms for accurate detection. |
