In this paper, different methods were used to preprocess the infrared spectra of healthy and osteoarthritic articular cartilage. And then the principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to classify the articular cartilage samples. First, FTIRI on articular cartilage specimens was achieved. After extracted from the FTIR images, the infrared spectra were preprocessed by baseline correction, normalization, multiplicative scatter correction and standardized normal variate. And then, the original and preprocessed spectra were imported into SPSS software for PCA and the cartilage samples were classified based on the score marix. It is indicated that preprocessing methods combined with the principal component analysis can classify the samples of healthy and osteoarthritic articular cartilage, better. And the result of the combination of different methods is better. In addition, for the cartilage samples, the influence of multiple scatter correction is better than standardized normal variate.
