Optimization of Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) Texture Feature Parameters in Determining Rice Seed Quality
Abstract
Rice seed quality assessment is a critical measure in promoting agricultural productivity, as high-quality seeds directly influence crop yield and resilience. One of method for evaluating seed quality is texture analysis, which leverages the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) to extract meaningful features from seed images, providing insights into their condition and potential performance. This research aims to determine the optimal performance of GLCM parameters in identifying the texture characteristics of rice seed quality. The experiments were conducted using four angles (0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°) and three-pixel distances (1, 2, and 3), evaluating features such as homogeneity, contrast, dissimilarity, and energy. The results indicate that certain parameter configurations significantly affect the discriminative power of the extracted features, with the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier achieving the highest performance at a pixel distance of 1, with an accuracy of 0.73, precision of 0.79, recall of 0.73, and F1-score of 0.72. These findings demonstrate that optimizing GLCM parameter settings directly contributes to improved classification performance, highlighting the method's potential for enhancing rice seed quality assessment.
