To construct optimal predicting models based on the content of aliphatic acid of camellia seed, the research was concerned with oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid.This approach was composed of four major procedures:line-by-line reflection spectrum scanning to select the region of interest ( ROI) by hyperspectral imaging system;smoot-hing the original spectrum and analyzing by multiplicative scatter correction ( MSC ); identifying the sensitive optimized waveband, which can reflect the variation of the content of oleic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid by correlation analysis and ste...
