ABSTRACT

Rice grains are often infected by Sitophilus oryzae due to improper storage, resulting in quality and quantity losses. The efficacy of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) technology in detecting Sitophilus oryzae at different stages of infestation in stored rice was employed in the current research. Terahertz (THz) spectra for rice grains infested by Sitophilus oryzae at different growth stages were acquired. Then, the convolutional denoising autoencoder (CDAE) was used to reconstruct THz spectra to reduce the noise-to-signal ratio. Finally, a random forest classification (RFC) model was developed to identify the infestation levels. Results showed that the RFC model based on the reconstructed second-order derivative spectrum with an accuracy of 84.78%, a specificity of 86.75%, a sensitivity of 86.36% and an F1-score of 85.87% performed better than the original first-order derivative THz spectrum with an accuracy of 89.13%, a specificity of 91.38%, a sensitivity of 88.18% and an F1-score of 89.16%. In addition, the convolutional layers inside the CDAE were visualized using feature maps to explain the improvement in results, illustrating that the CDAE can eliminate noise in the spectral data. Overall, THz spectra reconstructed with the CDAE provided a novel method for effective THz detection of infected grains.
