Abstract

BACKGROUND: In this study, artificial intelligence models that identify sunn pest-damaged wheat grains (SDG) and healthy wheat grains (HWG) are presented. Svevo durum wheat cultivated in Konya province, Turkey is used for the process, with 150 HWG and 150 SDG being used for classification. Thanks to the constructed imaging setup, photos of the 300 wheat grains are obtained. Seventeen visual features of each wheat grain are extracted by image-processing techniques and evaluated in three different groups of dimension, texture and pattern as visual parameters. Artificial bee colony (ABC) optimization-based artificial neural network (ANN) and extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithms are implemented to classify the damaged wheat grains.
