Rapid determination of pit mud moisture content using hyperspectral imaging

Lack of moisture can lead to the aging of pit mud, excessive moisture will make it difficult to maintain its shape or even collapse. Therefore, a rapid and nondestructive detection technology for moisture in pit mud using hyperspectral imaging was firstly investigated. Modeling efficiency of various processing was compared in visible (400–1,000 nm) and near‐infrared (900–1,700 nm) regions, and the optimal model was SNV‐SPA‐SVM in near‐infrared spectroscopy; the [Formula: see text] and RMSEP of model were .9953 and 0.0029, respectively. Furthermore, the distribution map showed that the moisture in the new cellar was generally lower than that of old, and the moisture distribution of the old pit mud was more even. Moreover, the moisture content of different layers in the same cellar increased from top to bottom. This work provides strong technical support for liquor brewing enterprises to effectively implement online monitoring of pit mud changes and open a new era for the application of hyperspectral imaging technology in the field of liquor solid‐state fermentation.
