Popis: Establishing an excellent recycling mechanism for containers is of great importance for environmental protection, so many technical approaches applied during the whole recycling stage have become popular research issues. Among them, classification is considered a key step, but this work is mostly achieved manually in practical applications. Due to the influence of human subjectivity, the classification accuracy often varies significantly. In order to overcome this shortcoming, this paper proposes an identification method based on a Recursive Feature Elimination-Light Gradient Boosting Machine (RFE-LightGBM) algorithm using electronic nose. Firstly, odor features were extracted, and feature datasets were then constructed based on the response data of the electronic nose to the detected gases. Afterwards, a principal component analysis (PCA) and the RFE-LightGBM algorithm were applied to reduce the dimensionality of the feature datasets, and the differences between these two methods were analyzed, respectively. Finally, the differences in the classification accuracies on the three datasets (the original feature dataset, PCA dimensionality reduction dataset, and RFE-LightGBM dimensionality reduction dataset) were discussed. The results showed that the highest classification accuracy of 95% could be obtained by using the RFE-LightGBM algorithm in the classification stage of recyclable containers, compared to the original feature dataset (88.38%) and PCA dimensionality reduction dataset (92.02%).
