description: With the advanced development of miniaturization and integration of instruments, Raman spectroscopy (RS) has demonstrated its great significance because of its non-invasive property and fingerprint identification ability, and extended its applications in public security, especially for hazardous chemicals. However, the fast and accurate RS analysis of hazardous chemicals in field test by non-professionals is still challenging due to the lack of an effective and timely spectral-based chemical-discriminating solution. In this study, a platform was developed for the field determination of hazardous chemicals in public security by using a hand-held Raman spectrometer and a deep architecture-search network (DASN) incorporated into a cloud server. With the Raman spectra of 300 chemicals, DASN stands out with identification accuracy of 100% and outweighs other machine learning and deep learning methods. The network feature maps for the spectra of methamphetamine and ketamine focus on the main peaks of 1001 and 652 cm−1, which indicates the powerful feature extraction capability of DASN. Its receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve completely encloses the other models, and the area under the curve is up to 1, implying excellent robustness. With the well-built platform combining RS, DASN, and cloud server, one test process including Raman measurement and identification can be performed in tens of seconds. Hence, the developed platform is simple, fast, accurate, and could be considered as a promising tool for hazardous chemical identification in public security on the scene.
