The invention relates to an
infrared spectrum-based
crude oil type identification method, which comprises: determining the mid-
infrared spectrums and the near-
infrared spectrums of various types of
crude oil samples, carrying out second-order differential treatment, taking the polar
coordinate projection scores of the
absorbance of each
crude oil sample at five spectrum areas such as W1 of 1650-1800 cm<-1>, W2 of 4000-4500 cm<-1>, W3 of 4500-5000 cm<-1>, W4 of 5000-5500 cm<-1> and W5 of 5500-6000 cm<-1> on the X-axis and Y-axis, establishing a crude oil spectrum identification
database throughthe polar
coordinate projection scores, determining the polar
coordinate projection scores of the
absorbance of crude oil to be identified at the five spectrum areas on the X-axis and Y-axis, calculating the distances between the identification vector of the crude oil to be identified and each crude oil
sample vector, and comparing the
minimum distance to a set threshold, wherein the corresponding crude oil and the crude oil to be identified are the same type of the crude oil if the
minimum distance is less than the threshold, and if the
minimum distance is not less than the set threshold, the same crude oil as the crude oil to be identified does not exist in the crude oil spectrum
database. With the method of the present invention, the crude oil sample identification speed and the crudeoil sample identification accuracy can be effectively improved.
