VGG16 Transfer Learning Architecture for Salak Fruit Quality Classification

Purpose: This study aims to differentiate the quality of salak fruit with machine learning. Salak is classified into two classes, good and bad class.Design/methodology/approach: The algorithm used in this research is transfer learning with the VGG16 architecture. Data set used in this research consist of 370 images of salak, 190 from good class and 180 from bad class. The image is preprocessed by resizing and normalizing pixel value in the image. Preprocessed images is split into 80% training data and 20% testing data. Training data is trained by using pretrained VGG16 model. The parameters that are changed during the training are epoch, momentum, and learning rate. The resulting model is then used for testing. The accuracy, precision and recall is monitored to determine the best model to classify the images.Findings/result: The highest accuracy obtained from this study is 95.83%. This accuracy is obtained by using a learning rate = 0.0001 and momentum 0.9. The precision and recall for this model is 97.2 and 94.6.Originality/value/state of the art: The use of transfer learning to classify salak which never been used before.
