Entropy, Vol. 19, Pages 380: Pretreatment and Wavelength Selection Method for Near-Infrared Spectra Signal Based on Improved CEEMDAN Energy Entropy and Permutation Entropy (Entropy)

The noise of near-infrared spectra and spectral information redundancy can affect the accuracy of calibration and prediction models in near-infrared analytical technology. To address this problem, the improved Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN) and permutation entropy (PE) were used to propose a new method for pretreatment and wavelength selection of near-infrared spectra signal. The near-infrared spectra of glucose solution was used as the research object, the improved CEEMDAN energy entropy was then used to reconstruct spectral data for removing noise, and the useful wavelengths are selected based on PE after spectra segmentation. Firstly, the intrinsic mode functions of original spectra are obtained by improved CEEMDAN algorithm. The useful signal modes and noisy signal modes were then identified by the energy entropy, and the reconstructed spectral signal is the sum of useful signal modes. Finally, the reconstructed spectra were segmented and the wavelengths with abundant glucose information were selected based on PE. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, support vector regression and partial least square regression were used to build the calibration model using the wavelengths selected by the new method, mutual information, successive projection algorithm, principal component analysis, and full spectra data. The results of the model were evaluated by the correlation coefficient and root mean square error of prediction. The experimental results showed that the improved CEEMDAN energy entropy can effectively reconstruct near-infrared spectra signal and that the PE can effectively solve the wavelength selection. Therefore, the proposed method can improve the precision of spectral analysis and the stability of the model for near-infrared spectra analysis.
