Examination of wheat kernels for the presence of Fusarium damage and mycotoxins using near-infrared hyperspectral imaging
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The agriculture industry experiences severe economic losses each year when wheat crops become infected with Fusarium and the mycotoxin Deoxynivalenol (DON). This research investigated the feasibility of using near infrared hyperspectral imaging to detect Fusarium damage and DON in Canadian Western Red Spring wheat. Four samples were selected from each grain grade resulting in 16 samples and 240 hyperspectral data cubes. The data cubes were calibrated to the system, the consistent spectra was found and then a 1- nearest neighbour classifier was generated. Grade percentages were computed and used to generate two 3- nearest neighbour classifiers, one for identifying Fusarium damage and the other for identifying DON content. The Fusarium damage classifier had an accuracy of 85% and the DON content classifier had an accuracy of 80%. While a single sample image classification will not replace manual testing, the use of multiple samples from one harvest could reduce manual inspections.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
