Rice Variety Identification Using Edge Feature Extraction and Texture-Based Segmentation

This research proposes a methodology for identifying the optimal feature combination using Support Vector Machine (SVM) based on edge and texture features. Canny, Sobel, and Prewitt for edge detection and GLCM, Gabor, and LBP for texture analysis are popular feature extraction techniques widely employed in various cases. The approach combines edge and texture features with SVM to classify rice types into five categories: Ipsala, Jasmine, Karacadag, Arborio, and Basmati. Experimental results demonstrate that SVM using Canny, Sobel, and Prewitt combined Gabor texture features outperforms the comparative methods. A comparative analysis based on accuracy scores using confusion matrices is conducted. Combining all feature edge methods, Canny, Sobel, and Prewitt with Gabor on SVM classification is the best model for rice object classification, achieving an accuracy of 96%.
