Özet

In evaluating agricultural products, knowing the specific product varieties is important for the producer, the industrialist, and the consumer. Human labor is widely used in the classification of varieties. It is generally performed by visual examination of each sample by experts, which is very laborious and time-consuming with poor sensitivity. There is a need in commercial hazelnut production for a rapid, non-destructive and reliable variety classification in order to obtain quality nuts from the orchard to the consumer. In this study, a convolutional neural network, which is one of the deep learning methods, was preferred due to its success in computer vision. A total of 17 widely grown hazelnut varieties were classified. The proposed model was evaluated by comparing with pre-trained models. Accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-Score evaluation metrics were used to determine the performance of classifiers. It was found that the proposed model showed a better performance than pre-trained models in terms of performance evaluation criteria. The proposed model was found to produce 98.63% accuracy in the test set, including 510 images. This result has shown that the proposed model can be used practically in the classification of hazelnut varieties.
