RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 A Deep Learning Image System for Classifying High Oleic Sunflower Seed Varieties A1 Barrio-Conde, Mikel A1 Zanella, Marco Antonio A1 Aguiar-Perez, Javier Manuel A1 Ruiz González, Rubén A1 Gómez Gil, Jaime K1 Classification system K1 Convolutional neural network K1 High oleic sunflower seed K1 Ingeniería de sistemas K1 Systems engineering AB Sunflower seeds, one of the main oilseeds produced around the world, are widely used in the food industry. Mixtures of seed varieties can occur throughout the supply chain. Intermediaries and the food industry need to identify the varieties to produce high-quality products. Considering that high oleic oilseed varieties are similar, a computer-based system to classify varieties could be useful to the food industry. The objective of our study is to examine the capacity of deep learning (DL) algorithms to classify sunflower seeds. An image acquisition system, with controlled lighting and a Nikon camera in a fixed position, was constructed to take photos of 6000 seeds of six sunflower seed varieties. Images were used to create datasets for training, validation, and testing of the system. A CNN AlexNet model was implemented to perform variety classification, specifically classifying from two to six varieties. The classification model reached an accuracy value of 100% for two classes and 89.5% for the six classes. These values can be considered acceptable, because the varieties classified are very similar, and they can hardly be classified with the naked eye. This result proves that DL algorithms can be useful for classifying high oleic sunflower seeds.
