description |
The demand for high accuracy in grading system of the ripeness and maturity level of
the Oil Palm Fresh Fruits Bunch (FFB) is one of the important impending factor facing
the oil milling industry globally. This limitation directly affects the Oil Palm Extraction
Rate (OER), the quantity, and quality of products produced annually, thereby reducing
the profitability margin of the milling industry. However, numerous studies targeted at
investigating several improved techniques of grading, and classification of the current
oil palm maturity classification in order to enhance the oil palm yield in terms of quality,
and quantity annually have been carried out. In view of the needed improvement in OER,
there is need to test a novel data mining, and knowledge discovery approach within
collected spectrometer data from the oil palm FFB, using WEKA software for
classification, and prediction of the oil palm FFB ripeness, to enhance the current manual
human grader system. In this research, several machine learning algorithms housed in
WEKA data mining tool were proposed for the building of a classifier models, as
compared with other earlier manual, and statistical analytical method which require high
computational knowledge in coding, time consumption, and prion to human or
computational error. This novel approach is tested on the 106-labelled sampled of oil
palm FFB of four ripeness categories of unripe, under ripe, ripe, and over ripe by human
grader, with reference to the stipulated standard of the Oil Palm Grading Manual
(OPGM) of Malaysia. The reflectance data of different wavelength bands incidence from
8 LED modules upon the oil palm FFB, were extracted by 4 different sensors of a
spectrometer in laboratory experiment, for onward detailed analysis with machine
learning algorithms in WEKA data mining tool. The result illustrated that just one sensor
features (sensor 4) are significantly enough to build a good, accurate classifier model
that can predict, and classify the oil palm FFB ripeness, rather than the proposed 4 bands
sensors with 32 feature attributes. Hence, reducing cost for other sensors, improving the
analysis time for the classifier model building, and enhancing the productivity of the
system at large. Furthermore, the Lazy-IBK algorithm have been validated to produce
the best classifier model, with the machine learning algorithm performance of 65.26%,
recall of 65.3%, and 65.4% F-measured as compared to other evaluated machine learning classifier algorithms proposed within the WEKA data mining algorithm. The ROC curve
area indicated an average weighted value of 77.4% for the area under the curve as
indicated, which is a measure applied for the accuracy of the applied algorithm. In
conclusion, the simple machine learning algorithm model evaluation is developed to
classify the oil palm maturity degrees, in order to validate the human grader assessments
to enhance the productivity of the oil milling industries. |
