Nevertheless, the effectiveness of most existing methods relies on the disease already exhibiting obvious symptoms in the middle to late stages of infection. Therefore, this paper presents an early identification method for cucumber diseases based on the techniques of hyperspectral imaging and machine learning, which consists of two procedures. First, reconstruction fidelity terms and graph constraints are constructed based on the decision criterion of the collaborative representation classifier and the desired spatial distribution of spectral curves (391 to 1044 nm) respectively. The former constrains the same-class and different-class reconstruction residuals while the latter constrains the weighted distances between spectral curves. They are further fused to steer the design of an offline algorithm. The algorithm aims to train a linear discriminative projection to transform the original spectral curves into a low dimensional space, where the projected spectral curves of different diseases own better separation trends. Then, the collaborative representation classifier is utilized to achieve online early diagnosis. Five experiments were performed on the hyperspectral data collected in the early infection stage of cucumber anthracnose and Corynespora cassiicola diseases. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method was feasible and effective, providing a maximal identification accuracy of 98.2% and an average online identification time of 0.65 ms. The proposed method has a promising future in practical production due to its high diagnostic accuracy and short diagnosis time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20041217","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,24]],"date-time":"2020-02-24T03:33:43Z","timestamp":1582515223000},"page":"1217","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Graph Constraint and Collaborative Representation Classifier Steered Discriminative Projection with Applications for the Early Identification of Cucumber Diseases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Yuhua","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fengjie","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ye","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yingxu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210031, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Jones, D.G.
