Detection and Identification of Stored-Grain Insects with RF/Microwave and Neural Network Technology

Eight different species of stored-grain insects were investigated in the radio frequency (RF) and microwave frequency range of 0.3 to 1200 MHz with a free-space device using a vector network analyzer. Detection and identification analysis were performed using neural network techniques. One-, two- and three-waveband sets were optimized in the frequency range to maximize the detection and identification recognition rate. The total recognition rate of identification for the insects was 73%, while the recognition rate of the detection of the empty device was 76% using the frequencies of 180.3, 1020, and 1032 MHz.
