Estimation of Anthocyanins in Apple Leaves Based on Ground Hyperspectral Imaging and Machine Learning Models by Yu Zhang, Mi Zou, Yanjun Li, Qingrui Chang, Xing Chen, Zhiyong Dai, Weihao Yuan

“…The original hyperspectral imaging at wavelengths before 720 nm shows a decrease in reflectance as the growth stages progress, while the spectral curves after 720 nm remain largely consistent across stages; (2) Compared to single original spectral variables, multivariate estimation models using original spectra and second-order derivative transformed spectra show improved accuracy for anthocyanins estimation across different growth stages, with the most significant improvement during the Fruit Enlargement stage; (3) Although the computation of the three-band spectral indices is resource-intensive and time-consuming, it can enhance anthocyanins estimation accuracy; (4) Among all models, the CatBoost model based on original spectra and second-order derivative transformed spectra indices for the entire growth period achieved the highest accuracy, with a validation set R² of 0.934 and a RPD of 3.888, and produced effective leaf anthocyanins inversion maps. …”
