Batik Classification using Deep Learning

Abstract

Batik is one of the Indonesian cultural heritages that has been recognized by the global community. Indonesian batik has a vast diversity in motifs that illustrate the philosophy of life, the ancestral heritage and also reflects the origin of batik itself. Because of the manybatik motifs, problems arise in determining the type of batik itself. Therefore, we need a classification method that can classify various batik motifs automatically based on the batik images. The technique of image classification that is used widely now is deep learning method. This technique has been proven of its capacity in identifying images in high accuracy. Architecture that is widely used for the image data analysis is Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) because this architecture is able to detect and recognize objects in an image. This workproposes to use the method of CNN and VGG architecture that have been modified to overcome the problems of classification of the batik motifs. Experiments of using 2.448 batik images from 5 classes of batik motifs showed that the proposed model has successfully achieved an accuracy of 96.30%.
