Abstract

This paper uses optical imaging technology to establish an image dataset of a batch of tobacco leaves with known nicotine content, and uses the neural network model U2-Net to accurately detect tobacco leaf targets. By extracting the color distribution information of the tobacco leaf targets, four typical Machine Learning algorithms of RF, XGBoost, MLP, and KNN are used to make the regression prediction for the nicotine content of tobacco leaves, respectively. The results indicate that the KNN model can effectively utilize color distribution information to accurately predict the nicotine content of tobacco leaves. The value of determination coefficient R2 is as high as 97.46%, the MSE is as low as 0.020 2, and the MAE is as low as 0.075 6, indicating a significant correlation between tobacco leaf color distribution information and nicotine content, and providing an effective nondestructive detection method for nicotine.
