Abstract

Rice is the major food of approximately half world population and thousands of rice varieties are planted in the world. The identification of rice varieties is of great significance, especially to the breeders. In this study, a feasible method for rapid identification of rice varieties was developed. For each rice variety, rice grains per plant were imaged and analyzed to acquire grain shape features and a weighing device was used to obtain the yield-related parameters. Then, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier was employed to discriminate the rice varieties by these features. The average accuracy for the grain traits extraction is 98.41 %, and the average accuracy for the SVM classifier is 79.74 % by using cross validation. The results demonstrated that this method could yield an accurate identification of rice varieties and could be integrated into new knowledge in developing computer vision systems used in automated rice-evaluated system.
