Abstract
The rapidly changing climate affects an extensive spectrum of human-centered environments. The food industry is one of the affected industries due to rapid climate change. Rice is a staple food and an important cultural key point for Japanese people. As Japan is a country in which natural disasters continuously occur, using aged seeds for cultivation has become a regular practice. It is a well-known truth that seed quality and age highly impact germination rate and successful cultivation. However, a considerable research gap exists in the identification of seeds according to age. Hence, this study aims to implement a machine-learning model to identify Japanese rice seeds according to their age. Since agewise datasets are unavailable in the literature, this research implements a novel rice seed dataset with six rice varieties and three age variations. The rice seed dataset was created using a combination of RGB images. Image features were extracted using six feature descriptors. The proposed algorithm used in this study is called Cascaded-ANFIS. A novel structure for this algorithm is proposed in this work, combining several gradient-boosting algorithms such as XGBoost, CatBoost, and LightGBM. The classification was conducted in two steps. First, the seed variety was identified. Then, the age was predicted. As a result, seven classification models were implemented. The performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated against 13 state-of-the-art algorithms. Overall, the proposed algorithm has a higher accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score than the others. For the classification of variety, the proposed algorithm scored 0.7697, 0.7949, 0.7707, and 0.7862, respectively. The results of this study confirm that the proposed algorithm can be employed in the successful age classification of seeds.
