This study evaluates the efficacy of UV hyperspectral imaging (225\u2013408 nm) using two different light sources: xenon arc (XBO) and deuterium lamps, in comparison to NIR hyperspectral imaging. The aim is to determine which light source provides better differentiation between cotton types in UV hyperspectral imaging, as each interacts differently with the materials, potentially affecting imaging quality and classification accuracy. Principal component analysis (PCA) and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) were employed to differentiate between various cotton types and hemp plant. PCA for the XBO illumination revealed that the first three principal components (PCs) accounted for 94.8% of the total variance: PC1 (78.4%) and PC2 (11.6%) clustered the samples into four main groups\u2014hemp (HP), recycled cotton (RcC), and organic cotton (OC) from the other cotton samples\u2014while PC3 (6%) further separated RcC. When using the deuterium light source, the first three PCs explained 89.4% of the variance, effectively distinguishing sample types such as HP, RcC, and OC from the remaining samples, with PC3 clearly separating RcC. When combining the PCA scores with QDA, the classification accuracy reached 76.1% for the XBO light source and 85.1% for the deuterium light source. Furthermore, a deep learning technique called a fully connected neural network for classification was applied. The classification accuracy for the XBO and deuterium light sources reached 83.6% and 90.1%, respectively. The results highlight the ability of this method to differentiate conventional and organic cotton, as well as hemp, and to identify distinct types of recycled cotton, suggesting varying recycling processes and possible common origins with raw cotton. These findings underscore the potential of UV hyperspectral imaging, coupled with chemometric models, as a powerful tool for enhancing cotton classification accuracy in the textile industry.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jimaging10120310","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]],"date-time":"2024-12-05T04:13:03Z","timestamp":1733371983000},"page":"310","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["UV Hyperspectral Imaging with Xenon and Deuterium Light Sources: Integrating PCA and Neural Networks for Analysis of Different Raw Cotton Types"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6713-5669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad","family":"Al Ktash","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Process Analysis and Technology PA & T, Reutlingen University, Alteburgstra\u00dfe 150, 72762 Reutlingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9459-0640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mona","family":"Knoblich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Process Analysis and Technology PA & T, Reutlingen University, Alteburgstra\u00dfe 150, 72762 Reutlingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Max","family":"Eberle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Process Analysis and Technology PA & T, Reutlingen University, Alteburgstra\u00dfe 150, 72762 Reutlingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6554-6600","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frank","family":"Wackenhut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Process Analysis and Technology PA & T, Reutlingen University, Alteburgstra\u00dfe 150, 72762 Reutlingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5537-1448","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marc","family":"Brecht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Process Analysis and Technology PA & T, Reutlingen University, Alteburgstra\u00dfe 150, 72762 Reutlingen, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Eberhard Karls University T\u00fcbingen, Auf der Morgenstelle 18, 72076 T\u00fcbingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Paul, B.D., and Rossi, A.J.
