Our goal is to analyze spectral imaging data using multiple optical imaging instruments available in our laboratories to provide analysis along three axes of classification farm-raised vs. wild-caught species, fresh vs. frozen fillets, and fish species. We have collected spectral signatures using four imaging systems: (1) reflectance spectral imaging in the visible and near infrared, (2) reflectance spectral imaging in the short-wave infrared, (3) fluorescence spectral imaging, (4) Raman imaging. We use feature extraction/selection strategy for different modes of analysis based on the measurement physics and biological/chemical characteristics to achieve more than 95% classification accuracy.
