This study explored the possibility of detecting different
types of meat in a miniaturized patty by applying a random
forest classifier on the spectral dimension followed by neighborhood
majority voting on the spatial dimension to improve the
random forest prediction. Hyperspectral images of patties made
of 100% beef, 100% pork, and 100% horse meat were acquired
with a short-wave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral camera. The
pixel-wise meat type prediction by random forest multi-class
classifier was accurate to 97.5%. After the majority voting of the
neighboring pixels, the prediction accuracy increased to 100%.
As next, synthetic hyperspectral images of adulterated patties
were generated for validating the model. The prediction accuracy
of the model on the synthetic images were bigger than 98%.
The findings of the proposed workflow support the development
of rapid analysis tools in tandem with machine-learning to detect
adulteration in minced meat.
