Comparison of faster region-based convolutional network for algorithms for grape leaves classification

Abstract

The shapes of leaves distinguish the Indonesian grape variants. The grape leaves might look the same at first glance, but there are differences in leaf shapes and characteristics when observed closely. This research uses a deep learning method combined with the faster region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) algorithm with the Inception network architecture, ResNet V2, ResNet-152, ResNet-101, and ResNet-50, and uses COCO weights trained to classify five grape varieties through leaf images. The study collected 500 images to be used as an independent dataset. The results show that network improvements can effectively improve operating efficiency. There are also limitations to training scores because the F1 score value tends to stabilize or decrease at a certain point. In the Inception ResNet V2 architecture, with the highest average F1 score of 92%, the average computing time for training and testing is longer than other network architectures. This suggests that the algorithm can classify types of grapes based on their leaves.
