The accurate identification of the origin of Chinese medicinal materials is crucial for the orderly management of the market and clinical drug usage. In this study, a deep learning-based algorithm combined with machine vision was developed to automatically identify the origin of Angelica sinensis (A. sinensis) from eight areas including 1859 samples. The effects of different datasets, learning rates, solver algorithms, training epochs and batch sizes on the performance of the deep learning model were evaluated. The optimized hyperparameters of the model were the dataset 4, learning rate of 0.001, solver algorithm of rmsprop, training epochs of 6, and batch sizes of 20, which showed the highest accuracy in the training process. Compared to support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbors (KNN) and decision tree, the deep learning-based algorithm could significantly improve the prediction performance and show better robustness and generalization performance. The deep learning-based model achieved the highest accuracy, precision, recall rate and F1_Score values, which were 99.55%, 99.41%, 99.49% and 99.44%, respectively. These results showed that deep learning combined with machine vision can effectively identify the origin of A. sinensis.
