Abstract

Automatically classifying the ripeness level of oil palm fruit is a critical challenge in the precision agriculture industry, particularly to support efficient and optimal harvesting. This study proposes a digital image-based classification approach by applying the transfer learning method using the MobileNetV2 architecture. This model was chosen due to its efficiency in image processing and its ability to extract deep visual features with low computational complexity. The training process was carried out using pre-trained weights from ImageNet, which were then modified and adjusted for binary classification between ripe and unripe oil palm fruit. Model evaluation was carried out using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. The test results showed that the model achieved the highest validation accuracy of 94.5% with a configuration of 100 epochs and a batch size of 128. The stable accuracy curve between the training and validation data indicates good generalization performance and minimal overfitting. Thus, this approach is proven effective in classifying the ripeness level of oil palm fruit accurately and efficiently and has the potential to be applied as an artificial intelligence-based solution in the field of digital agriculture.
