Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative aging disorder, which can lead to irreversible vision loss in older individuals. The emergence of clinical applications of retinal hyper-spectral imaging provides a unique opportunity to capture important spectral signatures, with the potential to enhance the molecular diagnosis of retinal diseases. In this study, we use a machine learning classification approach to explore whether hyper-spectral images offer an improved outcome compared to standard RGB images. Our results show that the classifier performs better on hyper-spectral images with improved accuracy and sensitivity for drusen classification compared to standard imaging. By examining the most important features in the classification task, our data suggest that drusen are highly heterogeneous. Our work provides further evidence that hyper-spectral retinal image data are uniquely suited for computer-aided diagnosis and detection techniques.

Assessing the health status of vegetation is of vital importance for all stakeholders. Multi-spectral and hyper-spectral imaging systems are tools for evaluating the health of vegetation in laboratory settings, and also hold the potential of assessing vegetation of large portions of land. However, the literature lacks benchmark datasets to test algorithms for predicting plant health status, with most researchers creating tailored datasets.

Hyper-spectral imaging (HSI) systems can be divided into two main types as follows: a group of systems that includes a dedicated dispersion/filtering component whose role is to physically separate the different wavelengths and a group of systems that sample all wavelengths in parallel, so that the separation into wavelengths is performed by signal processing (interferometric method). There is a significant advantage to systems of the second type in terms of the integration time required to obtain a signal with a high signal-to-noise ratio since the signal-to-noise ratio of methods based on scanning interferometry (Windowing method) is better compared to methods based on dispersion. The current research deals with the feasibility study of a new concept for an HSI system that is based on scanning interferometry using the "push-broom" method.

This paper develops a new hybrid, automated, and non-invasive approach by combining hyper-spectral imaging, Savitzky-Golay (SG) Filter, Principal Components Analysis (PCA), Machine Learning (ML) classifiers/regressors, and stacking generalization methods to detect sugar in honey. First, the 32 different sugar concentration levels in honey were predicted using various ML regressors. Second, the six ranges of sugar were classified using various classifiers.
