Coal quality near-infrared rapid analysis method based on constraint learning and ADBN

This invention discloses a rapid near-infrared analysis method for coal quality based on constrained learning and Adaptive Deep Belief Network (ADBN). First, a near-infrared spectrometer is used to acquire diffuse reflectance spectra of coal samples. Each sample is acquired 3-5 times and averaged to reduce random errors, and the true values ​​of corresponding coal quality parameters are determined. Next, the spectral data is preprocessed to eliminate noise, baseline drift, and scattering interference. A constrained learning algorithm is used to select feature bands strongly correlated with coal composition, constructing constrained spectral feature vectors. An Adaptive Deep Belief Network (ADBN) is then constructed. The spectral feature vectors are input into the model, incorporating physical constraints on coal quality parameters, spectral feature correlation constraints, and regularization constraints into the loss function. Finally, the trained model is used to predict the spectral composition of unknown coal samples, obtaining the coal composition content. This method effectively removes redundant bands and noise, solving the redundancy problem of traditional feature selection. ADBN can dynamically adjust the network structure to adapt to the inherent laws of coal quality, improving prediction accuracy and reliability.

A previously encoded or reconstructed version of a neighborhood of a predetermined block to be predicted is exploited so as to result into a more efficient predictive coding of the prediction block. In particular, a spectral decomposition of a region composed of this neighborhood and a first version of a predicted filling of the predetermined block results into a first spectrum which is subject to noise reduction and the thus resulting second spectrum may be subject to a spectral composition, thereby resulting in a modified version of this region including a second version of the predicted filling of the predetermined block.
