Distinguish Fritillaria Cirrhosa And Non-Fritillaria Cirrhosa Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

As traditional Chinese medicines, Fritillaria from different origins are very similar and it is difficult to distinguish them. In this study, the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy combined with learning vector quantization (LIBS-LVQ) was proposed to distinguish the powdered samples of Fritillaria cirrhosa and non-Fritillaria cirrhosa. We also studied the performance of linear discriminant analysis, and support vector machine on the same data set. Among these three classifiers, LVQ had the highest correct classification rate of 99.17%. The experimental results demonstrated that the LIBS-LVQ model could be used to differentiate the powdered samples of Fritillaria cirrhosa and non-Fritillaria cirrhosa.
