Abstract

Abstract: The rice plant, Oryza sativa, is a major food source in Indonesia. This plant is processed into rice, a staple food for the Indonesian people. Rice growth is crucial to ensure the rice produced is of good quality. One part of the rice plant that is susceptible to disease is the leaves, which can inhibit growth and reduce rice quality. Therefore, early detection and accurate classification of rice diseases are crucial to minimize these negative impacts. This has driven the development of a Deep Learning model capable of high-performance automatic classification. This study aims to create a rice leaf classification model using the CNN algorithm and several transfer learning architectures such as ResNet101, VGG16, and Xception. A dataset of 859 rice leaf images collected from the Kaggle website was then processed using augmentation techniques to a total of 2,439 images, plus 215 smartphone photos for external data validation. Thus, the total dataset increased to 2,656 images, covering four categories: leafblast, brownspot, healthy, and hispa. The model was processed in two stages: on the initial dataset (Non-Augmented Dataset) and the Augmented Dataset. The best experimental results were obtained using the ResNet architecture, with a training accuracy of 96.17% and a validation accuracy of 95.22%. Based on the research results, the rice plant disease classification model using deep learning demonstrated good performance.
