2D CNNs improve plant trait retrieval from spectral images

Researchers have developed a new method for plant trait retrieval using hyperspectral spectroscopy by transforming 1D spectral data into 2D images. This approach, utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) like EfficientNet-B0, significantly improves prediction accuracy compared to traditional 1D sequence processing. A pre-trained masked autoencoder (MAE-2D) further enhanced performance, outperforming 1D self-supervised methods. The study also employed techniques like Integrated Gradients and Grad-CAM to identify key spectral wavelengths driving predictions, correlating them with established leaf chemistry for traits like protein and water content.
