Abstract

Rice leaf diseases such as Bacterial Blight and Blast are major threats to rice productivity that directly impact food security and the sustainability of local agriculture. This study aims to develop and optimize a deep learning-based early detection system for rice leaf diseases using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture, specifically the Inception_v3 model. The research method includes five main stages, namely collecting rice leaf image datasets, data pre-processing (resize, normalization, and augmentation), CNN model design, model training and evaluation, and performance optimization through the application of different optimizer algorithms. Two model variants were tested and compared, namely Inception_v3 Basics with the RMSprop optimizer and Inception_v3 Optimization with the Adam optimizer. Experimental results showed that the Inception_v3 Optimization model provided the best performance, with a Precision value of 0.9672, Recall of 0.8939, F1-score of 0.9291, Balanced Accuracy of 0.9297, Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of 0.8578, Cohen's Kappa of 0.8573, and AUC ROC of 0.98. These results indicate that the Adam optimizer is able to accelerate convergence and improve model accuracy compared to RMSprop, while producing a more stable and efficient classification system. Thus, this study successfully demonstrated that the optimized Inception_v3 architecture can be used effectively for early detection of rice leaf diseases and has high potential for integration into smart farming systems to support sustainable, technology-based local agricultural practices.
