Detection of Rice Leaf Pests Based on Images with Convolution Neural Network in Yollo v8

Abstract

Detection of rice leaf pests is important in agriculture because it can help farmers determine appropriate preventive measures. One method that can be used to detect rice leaf pests is digital image processing technology. In this research, proof of suitability for solving this case was carried out between the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm which was run offline with R-CNN and YOLOv8 for detecting rice leaf pests. At the data preparation stage, images of rice leaves were taken from various sources with a total of 100 images taken from website data and 10 images taken from the research site. Next, preprocessing and data augmentation are carried out to improve image quality and increase data variation. At the model training stage, a training and evaluation process is carried out using two types of algorithms, namely R-CNN and YOLOv8. The accuracy of the testing results using the same data using Yolov8 obtained 87.0% accuracy and 79% precision, while using R-CNN the results obtained were 85% for accuracy and 75% for precision with data divided into 80 training data 20 validation data and 10 testing data. Labeling the dataset uses Makesensei which has been completely standardized, with the resulting parameters being the spots on rice leaves.
