Implementation of Pretrained VGG16 Model for Rice Leaf Disease Classification using Image Segmentation

Abstract

Rice is an agricultural sector that produces rice which is one of the staple foods for the majority of the population in Indonesia. In the cultivation of rice plants there are also factors that affect rice production and are not realized by farmers causing that they are late in handling and diagnosing symptoms and making rice production decline. Therefore, it is necessary to have an early diagnosis of rice plants to identify them correctly, quickly and accurately. Machine learning is one of the classification techniques to detect various plant diseases such as rice plants. There are several studies on machine learning using the Convolutional Neural Network with the VGG16 model to classify rice leaf diseases and using Image Segmentation techniques on rice leaf datasets for make the image becomes a form that is not too complicated to analyze. The data used in this research is Rice Leaf Disease which consists of 3 classes including Bacterial leaf blight, Brown spot, and Leaf smut. Then segmentation is carried out using two techniques, namely threshold and k means. Then data augmentation for make dataset used has a large and varied number and training using VGG16 model with hyperparameter tuning and obtained 91.66% accuracy results for scenarios with the k-means dataset.
