Feature extraction to predict quality of segregating sweet tamarind using image processing

Abstract

In this modern age, several new methods have been developed, especially in image processing for agriculture business, which consists of technologies derived from artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities called machine learning. Classify is a widely used method to analyze patterns, trends, as well as the body of knowledge from the data visualization. Image classification application improves discrimination and prediction efficiency. The objective of this research was to feature extraction of sweet tamarind and compare the algorithm for classification. This research used images from golden sweet tamarind species with the use of MATLAB and Python language. The steps of this research consisted of 1) preprocessing step for finding the distance to appropriate of the image quality, 2) feature extracting for finding the number of black pixels and the number of white pixels, perimeter, diameter, and centroid, and 3) classifying for algorithms' comparison. The results showed that the camera's distance to the image was 60 cm. The coefficient of determination was at 0.9956, and the Standard Error of Estimate was 7,424.736 pixels. The conclusion of classification found that the random forest had the highest accuracy at 92.00%, SD. = 8.06, precision = 90.12, recall = 92.86, and F1-score = 91.36.
