Evaluating Transfer Learning Models for Indian Rice Classification: The Impact of a Proposed Lightweight Deep Learning
摘要
The research details a thorough assessment of tuned transfer learning systems for recognizing Indian rice varieties through the examination of 4,000 balanced images split evenly between eight types including RH-10, Sharbati, Sugandha, Sona Masoori, 1121, PR-11, 1401 and 1509. The models under assessment within this study encompass VGG-16, VGG-19, ResNet50, InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, DenseNet121, EfficientNetB0 and a lightweight deep learning among them. Performance analysis demonstrated that Lightweight Deep learning delivered 91% accuracy as its highest performance rate surpassing the other models in classification speed. The findings show that transfer learning techniques can become a practical approach to recognize rice plant varieties automatically in agricultural domains. The presented study demonstrates both model optimization methods and dataset balancing techniques while providing valuable knowledge for further research in the fields of precision agriculture and food quality assessment.
