Image Classification of Rice Leaf Diseases with KNN Based Model using Stratified-KCV

Rice is a staple food for people in the world, especially Indonesia. The rice harvest decreased in 2023, reducing harvest productivity and causing losses for farmers. Rice cultivation is often affected by diseases that hinder rice harvests. SKCV is a resampling method that performs more accurately because it can ensure that class frequencies are maintained. RGB and VGG16 are image processing methods that extract images into numerics. RGB image extraction is done by taking the average value of the red, green, and blue layers while VGG16 image extraction is done by taking the value of visual pattern features such as edges, textures, and object shapes. In this study, rice leaf diseases were classified using KNN-based models, including KNN, WKNN, CDNN, and ECDNN. This classification was performed to determine which method had better performance using SKCV and comparing the results of RGB and VGG16 image extraction. This classification also produces a comparison of SKCV and KCV results to determine the best resampling performance. The results of the analysis that have been carried out show that the ECDNN method produces the highest accuracy of 81.20% in classifying rice leaf diseases using SKCV with VGG16 extraction followed by CDNN and WKNN each at 68.80%, and KNN at 56.20% while RGB extraction only produces an accuracy of 43.8% using ECDNN and CDNN, 56.20% using WKNN, and 50% using KNN. The results of this rice leaf diseases classification analysis are expected to help farmers in increasing rice production in Indonesia.
