Comparison of Tomato Leaf Disease Classification Accuracy Using Support Vector Machine and K-Nearest Neighbor Methods

Abstract

Tomato Leaf Disease is one of the common things for farmers in growing tomatoes. Tomatoes are one of the popular crops that can grow in low and high areas but are susceptible to disease. For this reason, farmers take precautions by looking at the characteristics and texture of tomato leaves. However, this requires more time and money and a long process. One of the efforts that can be made is to classify tomato leaf diseases. This research aims to classify using the Support Vector Machine and K-Nearest Neighbor methods. The dataset used is tomato leaf image data with 4 classes of leaves affected by disease and 1 healthy leaf. We evaluate and analyze all models using 5-Fold, 10-Fold, and 20-Fold Cross Validation with accuracy, precision, and recall for the best accuracy. The best results of this study are accuracy in the SVM method of 0.953 or 95.3%, Precision of 0.953 or 95.3%, and Recall of 0.953 or 95.3% with 10-Fold Cross-Validation. Compared to the K-NN method, it only obtained an accuracy of 0.907 or 90.7%, a Precision of 0.908 or 90.8%, and a Recall of 0.907 or 90.7% with 10-Fold Cross-Validation.

Machine Learning and Fuzzy C-Means Clustering for the Identification of Tomato Diseases

“…This research uses the CNN method and various input variations to recognise images of tomato plants infected with plant diseases [6]. Other studies used SVM and KNN techniques to identify diseases in tomatoes, and both methods succeeded in identifying diseases very well [7]. From the research conducted, the machine learning method can effectively be used in identifying tomato plant diseases with very good accuracy.…”
