In general, considering standard production, as well as coconut oil production, in oil consumption industries is an important factor. Oil color is an important element, as it is an important factor for consumers or buyers in selecting coconut oil. In the process of producing coconut oil, the cold-pressed method has been chosen to maintain the essential quality of coconut oil. The quality of the coconut oil is inspected from the production process by means of light passing through the coconut oil. Then, the production staff compares the turbidity of coconut oil with the master sample. The turbidity of coconut oil in every production must be compared with a master sample to maintain standards control. According to previous studies, there are many methods for determining coconut oil turbidity. One method that has been utilized is determining turbidity from light passing through the medium in which the transmitted light can be absorbed through the turbidity of the variable medium. This process is applied together with image processing to determine the coconut oil turbidity. In this research, we propose a method for measuring coconut oil turbidity by the Moving Average Median of Hue (MAMoH), which is better in detecting the coconut oil turbidity than the Median of Gray Scale (MoGS) method, Median of Hue (MoH) method, and Random Position Median of Hue (RPMoH) method. In terms of the percentage accuracy of the efficiency test; the MAMoH method has 99 percent accuracy, while the MoGS method is not applicable, the MoH method has 88.04 percent accuracy, and the RPMoH method has 85.91 percent accuracy. Thus, the MAMoH method is considered an appropriate method for measuring coconut oil turbidity. INDEX TERMSImage processing, turbidity level, moving average, coconut oil, Computer vision.

In the production of coconut oil for consumption, cleanliness and safety are the first priorities for meeting the standard in Thailand. The presence of color, sediment, or impurities is an important element that affects consumers’ or buyers’ decision to buy coconut oil. Coconut oil contains impurities that are revealed during the process of compressing the coconut pulp to extract the oil. Therefore, the oil must be filtered by centrifugation and passed through a fine filter. When the oil filtration process is finished, staff inspect the turbidity of coconut oil by examining the color with the naked eye and should detect only the color of the coconut oil. However, this method cannot detect small impurities, suspended particles that take time to settle and become sediment. Studies have shown that the turbidity of coconut oil can be measured by passing light through the oil and applying image processing techniques. This method makes it possible to detect impurities using a microscopic camera that photographs the coconut oil. This study proposes a method for detecting impurities that cause the turbidity in coconut oil using a deep learning approach called a convolutional neural network (CNN) to solve the problem of impurity identification and image analysis. In the experiments, this paper used two coconut oil impurity datasets, PiCO_V1 and PiCO_V2, containing 1000 and 6861 images, respectively. A total of 10 CNN architectures were tested on these two datasets to determine the accuracy of the best architecture. The experimental results indicated that the MobileNetV2 architecture had the best performance, with the highest training accuracy rate, 94.05%, and testing accuracy rate, 80.20%.
