Abstract
Earthen sites are important cultural heritages. Non-destructive quantitative analysis for moisture content in earthen sites is always appealing and important to heritage conservation. In this study, two ranges of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) systems, visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR: 400–1000 nm) and short-wave infrared (SWIR: 1000–2500 nm), are compared for the quantitative analysis of moisture content in simulated samples. To obtain the optimal prediction model, the raw data were pre-processed by several methods. The characteristic wavelengths were extracted by successive projection algorithm (SPA). Partial least squares (PLS) regression, support vector regression (SVR) and principal component regression (PCR) models were developed using the processed data, respectively. The results indicate that compared to Vis-NIR, the moisture content prediction model developed based on SWIR has good performance, with Rp2>0.903 and RMSEP <3.6%. The optimal model SG-SPA-PCR in SWIR was successfully used to visualize the moisture content distribution of the simulated earthen sites with time.
