After replacing a spectrometer, can the original wood strength model still be used? Even if two devices have the same wavelength range, resolution and channel differences can affect predictions. This study compares cross-instrument migration methods, focusing on how existing reference data continues to function on new hardware.
Summary
The study pairs solid wood board spectra with tensile strength references, compares deep transfer networks with traditional calibration transfer, and examines the impact of target domain sample proportion. The results show that the migration depends on the target device data; there are gaps in the description of the number of channels, indicator marks, and error units in the original text. The original caliber must be retained when quoting, and the units cannot be rewritten or changed to general device precision.

Why It Matters
Incorporating cross-equipment differences into model development gives wood grading systems greater opportunities to reuse existing mechanical reference data.
Methods and Reference Measurements
The study used 466 solid wood boards and reference values of tensile strength along the grain. Both devices collect spectra from 900–1700 nm, but the text lists 512 and 117 channels respectively (Table 1 lists 118 for the latter). Cross-instrument transfer is performed through adversarial networks, global loss optimization and other structures, and compared with direct normalization, segmented direct normalization and spectral space transformation; in addition, the proportion of training samples in the target domain is changed to check the dependence of the transfer effect on the sample size.

Key Findings
The original table in Table 3 lists GLOT's R=83.59 and RMSEP=11.582, and CDAN's R=82.11 and RMSEP=12.237. On page 17, R is called the coefficient of determination (R-squared), but the table continues to use the R mark; the numerical scale of the original table is retained here and is not rewritten as a decimal R². The original table of RMSEP does not indicate the unit.
Limitations and Interpretation
Both research instruments are 900-1700 nm; the text of the sparse equipment lists channel 117, but Table 1 lists channel 118. There is a difference in expression. The original table does not indicate the RMSEP unit and cannot be filled in as MPa; the sampling geometry is not listed separately. Migration performance depends on target domain samples and reference data.
Band and model boundaries: This example uses original measurements or independent verification branches that lie entirely within 250–1700 nm.

Whether portable equipment can be used for similar detection needs to be evaluated based on samples and experimental conditions, and the specific effect still needs to be verified through actual testing. Welcome to contact VISPEK to exchange your sample and testing needs, jointly evaluate experimental plans, and explore the feasibility of using our company's equipment for actual measurement and verification.
