Abstract

BACKGROUND: Rice is an important food crop plant in the world and is also a model plant for genetics and breeding research. The germination rate is an important indicator that measures the performance of rice seeds. Currently, solutions involving image processing techniques have substantial challenges in the identification of seed germination. The detection of rice seed germination without human intervention involves challenges because the rice seeds are small and densely distributed.
