Abstract:

The combination of Raman and infrared spectroscopy on the one hand and wavelength selection on the other hand is used to improve the partial least-squares (PLS) prediction of seven selected yarn properties. These properties are important for on-line quality control during production. From 71 yarn samples, the Raman and infrared spectra are measured and reference methods are used to determine the selected properties. Making separate PLS models for all yarn properties using the Raman and infrared spectra, prior to wavelength selection, reveals that Raman spectroscopy outperforms infrared spectroscopy. If wavelength selection is applied, the PLS prediction error decreases and the correlation coefficient increases for all properties. However, a substantial wavelength selection effect is present for the infrared spectra compared to the Raman spectra. For the infrared spectra, wavelength selection results in PLS prediction errors comparable with the prediction performance of the Raman spectra prior to wavelength selection. Concatenating the Raman and infrared spectra does not enhance the PLS prediction performance, not even after wavelength selection. It is concluded that an infrared spectrometer, combined with a wavelength selection procedure, can be used if no (suitable) Raman instrument is available.
