System and method of detecting concentration of plurality of chemical residue in an agricultural produce

Abstract

A processor implemented method of detecting a concentration of plurality of chemical residue in an agricultural produce is provided. The method include (a) receiving, by a hyper spectral device, a data set associated with one or more reflectance measurements of the agricultural produce; (b) determining, data associated with a plurality of bands; (c) dynamically reiterating, the steps (a) and (b) at predetermined time interval to obtain a trained dataset; (d) determining, relevant wavelengths among the selected trained data sets based on a feature selection technique to form an array of emitters; (e) calibrating, by the identified array of emitters, to emit light on the detecting region of one or more sample of the agricultural produce to obtain data associated with reflectance and transmittance; and (f) calculating, a calibration index with a de-multiplication flag to detect presence or absence of the plurality of chemical residue in the agricultural produce.
