ABSTRACT

The quality detection of rice grains is a critical component in the agricultural industry, ensuring that consumers receive high-quality products and farmers are fairly compensated. Traditional methods of quality assessment are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to human error. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), there is a significant opportunity to enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and consistency of rice grain quality detection. This paper presents an AI-based approach to rice grain quality detection, leveraging advanced machine learning techniques and computer vision. Our proposed method utilizes a convolutional neural network (CNN) to analyze high-resolution images of rice grains. The CNN is trained on a diverse dataset that includes various grades of rice quality, annotated by experts in the field. The model is designed to detect and classify defects such as chalkiness, discoloration, broken grains, and foreign materials. We also incorporate image preprocessing techniques to enhance the quality of input images, ensuring robust model performance under varying lighting and environmental conditions. This research contributes to the field by providing a comprehensive AI-driven solution for rice grain quality detection, which can be extended to other agricultural products. The adoption of such technology promises to enhance quality control, reduce wastage, and improve economic outcomes for stakeholders in the agriculture industry.
