Abstract

Seed viability is one of the most important parameters that is directly related with seed germination performance and seedling emergence. In this study, a hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system having a range of 1000-2500 nm was used to classify viable watermelon seeds from nonviable seeds. In order to obtain nonviable watermelon seeds, a total of 96 seeds were artificially aged by immersing the seeds in hot water ($25^{\circ}C$) for 15 days. Further, hyperspectral images for 192 seeds (96 normal and 96 aged) were acquired using the developed HSI system. A germination test was performed for all the 192 seeds in order to confirm their viability. Spectral data from the hyperspectral images of the seeds were extracted by selecting pixels from the region of interest. Each seed spectrum was averaged and preprocessed to develop a classification model of partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). The developed PLS-DA model showed a classification accuracy of 94.7% for the calibration set, and 84.2% for the validation set. The results demonstrate that the proposed technique can classify viable and nonviable watermelon seeds with a reasonable accuracy, and can be further converted into an online sorting system for rapid and nondestructive classification of watermelon seeds with regard to viability.

본 연구에서는 발아여부를 고속 대량으로 측정 가능한 초분광 영상 시스템 기반의 비파괴 선별기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 수박의 건전종자 96립과 퇴화종자 96립을 초분광 단파적외선 시스템을 이용하여 측정하였으며, 종자발아검증은 국제종자검정협회(ISTA)규정에 맞추어 5~14일 동안 $25^{\circ}C$에서 BP(between paper)법을 이용하여 실시하였다. 스펙트럼 데이터는 초분광 영상 시스템을 이용하여 데이터를 획득하였으며, 종자 판별모델 개발에는 PLS-DA(partial least square - discriminant analysis)를 적용하였다. PLS-DA분석법을 이용한 종자의 발아여부 판별 결과는 mean normalization을 이용하여 데이터 전처리를 이용할 경우가 가장 우수했으며, calibration의 경우 94.7%의 분류 정확도를 보였으며, validation의 경우 84.2%의 분류 정확도를 나타내어 평균적으로 90.8%의 정확도를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 종자가 퇴화하면서 야기되는 구성성분물질의 차이로 인한 것으로 사료되며, 두 그룹의 분류에 주요한 영향을 끼친 요인의 파악 및 적용을 통해 종자선별기의 개발이 가능함을 보였다.
