Development of Classification Method for Determining Chicken Egg Quality Using GLCM-CNN Method

Abstract

Eggs are widely consumed due to their high content of vitamin B12, choline and iron. External factors can be detected by observing the eggshell or taken into consideration. The nutrition in eggs is influenced by egg quality, which can be directly observed from the shell. If the shell is cracked, it can be inferred that the egg has poor quality because Salmonella bacteria are dangerous pathogens that can enter the egg. The current issue lies in the complexity and inefficiency of individually classifying eggs by workers, as it is a complicated, time-consuming, frustrating, and inefficient task. Therefore, it is important to separate them automatically. The selection of cracked and intact eggs in this research is an innovative approach to classification using a highly accurate machine learning method. The application of the GLCM-CNN method is an innovative strategy employed for selecting and classifying cracked eggs, as outlined in this research. VGG 19, one of the computational methods, is utilized as a comparative method alongside RESNET 50 and VGG 16. The GLCM-CNN algorithm in this research employed 1,000 images for each class, with a validation set of 20% for each class, resulting in an accuracy of 98%. The inefficient classification process and complexity of automated egg quality classification can be significantly addressed through the findings presented in this research.
