RepDwNet: Lightweight Deep Learning Model for Special Biological Blood Raman Spectra Analysis

Abstract

The Raman spectroscopy analysis technique has found extensive applications across various disciplines due to its exceptional convenience and efficiency, facilitating the analysis and identification of diverse substances. In recent years, owing to the escalating demand for high-efficiency analytical methods, deep learning models have progressively been introduced into the realm of Raman spectroscopy. However, the application of these models to portable Raman spectrometers has posed a series of challenges due to the computational intensity inherent to deep learning approaches. This paper proposes a lightweight classification model, named RepDwNet, for identifying 28 different types of biological blood. The model integrates advanced techniques such as multi-scale convolutional kernels, depth-wise separable convolutions, and residual connections. These innovations enable the model to capture features at different scales while preserving the coherence of feature data to the maximum extent. The experimental results demonstrate that the average recognition accuracy of the model on the reflective Raman blood dataset and the transmissive Raman blood dataset are 97.31% and 97.10%, respectively. Furthermore, by applying structural reparameterization to compress the well-trained model, it maintains high classification accuracy while significantly reducing the parameter size, thereby enhancing the speed of classification inference. This makes the model more suitable for deployment in portable and mobile devices. Additionally, the proposed model can be extended to various Raman spectroscopy classification scenarios.
