Abstract

In India, agriculture faces challenges such as climatic change and water scarcity, hindering farmers' ability to meet the high demand for products such as rice. To address this, a research project focused on seed selection and yield assessment, which is crucial, factors affecting production. Four rice varieties commonly cultivated in Tamil Nadu were chosen for experimentation: KO50, Atchaya Ponni, Andhra Ponni, and IR 20. The proposed method employs a machine vision system to measure seed quality and detect adulteration rates using various deep learning techniques. Real-time datasets and economically feasible imaging devices were used in this study. This includes the application of various deep learning techniques, with InceptionV3 exhibiting the highest accuracy at 98.96%, followed by ResNet101 at 86.61%. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), AlexNet, and MobileNet also demonstrated respectable accuracies of 85.12%, 83.83%, and 81.99%, respectively. This research aims to empower farmers with tools to select high-quality seeds, potentially improving crop yield, and addressing production challenges in agriculture.
