Abstract
BACKGROUND: The efficacy and market value of Panax ginseng Meyer are significantly influenced by its diversity and age. Traditional identification methods are prone to subjective biases and necessitate the use of destructive sample processing, leading to the loss and wastage of ginseng. Consequently, non-destructive in-situ identification has emerged as a crucial subject of interest for both researchers and the ginseng industry. The advancement of technology and the expansion of research have introduced spectral technology and image processing technology as novel approaches and concepts for non-destructive in-situ identification.
