Abstract

Acquiring large amounts of hyperspectral data of small intestinal tissue with real labels in the clinic is difficult, and the data shows inter-patient variability. Building an automatic identification model using a small dataset presents a crucial challenge in obtaining a strong generalization of the model. This study aimed to explore the performance of hyperspectral imaging and transfer learning techniques in the automatic identification of normal and ischemic necrotic sites in small intestinal tissue. Hyperspectral data of small intestinal tissues were collected from eight white rabbit samples. The transfer component analysis (TCA) method was performed to transfer learning on hyperspectral data between different samples and the variability of data distribution between samples was reduced. The results showed that the TCA transfer learning method improved the accuracy of the classification model with less training data. This study provided a reliable method for single-sample modelling to detect necrotic sites in small intestinal tissue .
