Rice quality classification system using convolutional neural network and an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system

In the food sector, rice processing and classification are essential operations that help maintain strict quality and safety standards, satisfy various consumer preferences, and satisfy particular market demands. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques are used in automated systems to reliably and effectively classify rice quality. This research compares a rice quality classification system using a convolutional neural network (CNN) and an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Both methods are evaluated for their ability to classify rice based on quality, utilizing a dataset encompassing various physical characteristics. The comparative analysis results reveal the strengths and weaknesses of each approach in addressing this classification task. In this research, two classification systems for different varieties of rice-medium and premium—are compared. CNN and ANFIS are the techniques applied. The CNN accuracy on the rice picture is 62.5%. Thus, a contrast enhancement procedure was applied and had better accuracy at 75%. However, when contrasted with the classification made using the ANFIS approach, the ANFIS method continued to yield the best accuracy, 82.25%.
