Simultaneously predicting SPAD and water content in rice leaves using hyperspectral imaging with deep multi‐task regression and transfer component analysis

Compared with the original model, good and differentiated results were obtained for the models using features learned by TCA for both the source domain and target domain. The multi-task models could be constructed to predict SPAD values and water content simultaneously and then transferred to another rice variety, which could improve the efficiency of model construction and realize rapid detection of rice growth indicators. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
