Abstract:Objective: To realize pattern recognition of Laser-induced autofluorescence spectrum from colorectal cancer tissues using Partial-least-square. Methods: The auto-fluorescence spectrum classifying was the pattern recognition problem. By using partial least squares, the spectrum was reduced to some factors, which was taken as the input of artificial neural network. Through the training and prediction, artificial neural network outputs classified spectrum. At the same time, the work of building mathematics model and optimizing the algorithm was completed. Results: The result was very good in sensibility and reliability. Conclusion: This method is better than other classification methods in the same field.
