Research progress on the application of hyperspectral imaging techniques in tea science

Abstract Hyperspectral imaging technology combines two‐dimensional imaging and spectral technology, which can simultaneously obtain spatial and spectral information of the object to be measured and is an advanced technical method. With the development of science and technology, the detection of tea has also been continuously improved, and it has developed in the direction of being nondestructive, fast, real‐time, and accurate. In this paper, the principle of hyperspectral imaging technology is introduced, and according to research on hyperspectral imaging technology in the nondestructive rapid detection of tea in the past 5 years, the application of hyperspectral imaging technology in the detection of tea biochemical components, accurate classification, determination of mildew degree, and stress monitoring and the application progress in planting production management are analyzed. Additionally, the main challenges existing in the current research are analyzed, and future application prospects are proposed to provide a reference for the application and promotion of hyperspectral imaging technology in the actual production of tea.
