Principle Component Analysis for Classification of the Quality of Aromatic Rice
This work addresses quality control for aromatic rice producers, but it is incremental as it applies existing PCA methods to a new dataset.
The researchers tackled the problem of quality control for aromatic rice by developing an electronic nose system (DNose v0.2) that uses PCA for classification, achieving a functional instrument that is easy to operate and non-destructive.
This research introduces an instrument for performing quality control on aromatic rice by utilizing feature extraction of Principle Component Analysis (PCA) method. Our proposed system (DNose v0.2) uses the principle of electronic nose or enose. Enose is a detector instrument that work based on classification of the smell, like function of human nose. It has to be trained first for recognizing the smell before work in classification process. The aim of this research is to build an enose system for quality control instrument, especially on aromatic rice. The advantage of this system is easy to operate and not damaging the object of research. In this experiment, ATMega 328 and 6 gas sensors are involved in the electronic module and PCA method is used for classification process.
