Identification of bean varieties according to color features using artificial neural network

Abstract

A machine vision and a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network (MLP-ANN) were applied to identify bean varieties, based on color features. Ten varieties of beans, which were grown in Iran (Khomein1, KS21108, Khomein2, Sarab1, Khomein3, KS21409, Akhtar2, Sarab2, KS21205, and G11870) were collected. Six color features of the bean and six color features of the spots were extracted and used as input for MLP-ANN classifier. In this study, 1000 data sets were used, 70% for training, 15% for validating and 15% for testing. The results showed that the applied machine vision and neural network were able to classify bean varieties with 100% sensibility and specificity, except with Sarab1 with sensibilities of 100%, 73.3%, 60% for the training, validation and testing processes, respectively and KS21108 with specificities of 100%, 79% and 71%, respectively for the aforementioned processes. Considering total sensibilities of 100%, 97.33%, 96% and also specificities of 100%, 97.9% and 97.1% for training, validation and testing of beans, respectively, the ANN could be used as a effective tool for classification of bean varieties.Additional key words: classification; Phaseolus vulgaris; image processing; machine vision.* Corresponding author: a.nasirahmadi@gmail.com Received: 08-01-13.

Investigating the Effect of Different Drying Strategies on the Quality Parameters of Daucus carota L. Using Dynamic Process Control and Measurement Techniques

“…Illumination for the chamber was provided by three fluorescent lamps (model 92001425, Omnilux®, colour temperature 6400 K) with 560 lm each and placed above the drying chamber to provide uniform illumination and inhibit shadowing. The RGB images thus captured were further processed and analysed using a methodology similar to that used by Nasirahmadi and Behroozi-Khazaei (2013) with adaptations. The image processing was performed in MATLAB R2018b (The Mathworks Inc., Natick, MA, USA), where the captured RGB images were converted to grey and further into binary images (0,1) with the appropriate threshold factor.…”

Inspection of quince slice dehydration stages based on extractable image features

“…The input data were divided into three parts randomly, 60% for training, 20% for validation and 20% for network test (Nasirahmadi & Behroozi-Khazaei 2013). Several topologies of networks were developed and then compared.…”

Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) cultivar classification: an artificial neural network approach

“…In recent years, there are also some product-based classification studies conducted by taking apple, banana, pear, pineapple, grape, melon, watermelon, citrus and avocado fruit into consideration (Zhang and Wu, 2012;Zhang et al, 2014). Variety based studies have been conducted to classify varieties of wheat (Dubey et al, 2006;Marini et al, 2008;Arefi et al, 2011;Pazoki and Pazoki, 2011;Zapotoczny, 2011;Khoshroo et al, 2014;Taner et al, 2015), rice (Liu et al, 2005;Guzman and Perelta, 2008;Silva and Sonnadara, 2013;Pazoki et al, 2014), barley (Zapotoczny, 2012), corn (Chen et al, 2010), bean (Nasirahmadi and Behroozi-Khazaei, 2013), and olive (Beyaz and Öztürk, 2016;Beyaz et al, 2017). Taner et al (2018) conducted both product and variety-based classification and in their study, they conducted with bread wheat, durum wheat, barley, oat and triticale products.…”
