Abstract

The identification of coal gangue is of great significance for its intelligent separation. To overcome the interference of visible light, we propose coal gangue recognition based on multispectral imaging and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). The data acquisition system is built in the laboratory, and 280 groups of spectral data of coal and coal gangue are collected respectively through the imager. The spectral intensities of all channels of each group of spectral data are averaged, and then the dimensionality is reduced by principal component analysis. XGBoost is used to identify coal and coal gangue based on the reduced dimension spectral data. The results show that PCA combined with XGBoost has the relatively best classification performance, and its recognition accuracy of coal and coal gangue is 98.33%. In this paper, the ensemble-learning algorithm XGBoost is combined with spectral imaging technology to realize the rapid and accurate identification of coal and coal gangue, which is of great significance to the intelligent separation of coal gangue and the intelligent construction of coal mines.
