Jade Identification Using Ultraviolet Spectroscopy Based on the SpectraViT Model Incorporating CNN and Transformer

Jade is a highly valuable and diverse gemstone, and its spectral characteristics can be used to identify its quality and type. We propose a jade ultraviolet (UV) spectrum recognition model based on deep learning, called SpectraViT, aiming to improve the accuracy and efficiency of jade identification. The algorithm combines residual modules to extract local features and transformers to capture global dependencies of jade’s UV spectrum, and finally classifying jade using fully connected layers. Experiments were conducted on a UV spectrum dataset containing four types of jade (natural diamond, cultivated diamond (CVD/HPHT), and moissanite). The results show that the algorithm can effectively identify different types of jade, achieving an accuracy of 99.24%, surpassing traditional algorithms based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS_DA), as well as other deep learning methods. This paper also provides a reference solution for other spectral analysis problems.
