Abstract

This paper presents a method for weight estimation and classification of milled rice kernels using support vector machines. Shape descriptors are used as input features for determining the grade factors based on physical shapes such as headrice, broken kernel, and brewer. Colour histogram is extracted from milled rice image to obtain 24 colour features in RGB and Cielab colour spaces. We built a support vector regression (SVR) model for estimating rice kernel weight and support vector classifier (SVC) for rice defectives. Results showed that in real data, the performance of SVR is better than linear regression (LR) with a mean square error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and correlation coefficient of 78.35x10-3, 0.206 and 0.9943, respectively. In determining grade factors based on colour appearance (rice defectives), SVC outperforms the generalized regression neural network (GRNN) with an accuracy of 98.86%.
