BUSTAMANTE, MARIEL G., and MOJARES, JACOB D. Design and Development of Aroid Plant Defect Classifier using Convolutional Neural Network. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. August 2022. Adviser: Dr. Edwin R. Arboleda. The general objective of the study was to design and develop an Aroid Plant Defect Classifier using Convolutional Neural Network. It was intended to be portable and rechargeable. It was targeted to be capable of classifying defects of a Black Velvet "Alocasia reginula" plant based on its leaves to avoid severe damage due to improper watering. The design project was composed of Raspberry Pi 3B+ which handled all the processes the device had to execute. This microcomputer was used to interface other components of the device such as the Camera, Battery, and Touchscreen Display. The back-end system of this device was a trained Convolutional Neural Network Model with an Accuracy of 89.50% while the front-end system was a Graphical User Interface displayed on the Touchscreen display when it turned ON. The project was tested by the researchers at a farm in Dasmariņas, Cavite, where the device had accuracy values of 90.48%, 87.62%, and 91.43%, and precision values of 87.88%, 78.75%, and 88.24% in classifying Normal, Underwatered, and Overwatered leaves, respectively, using a confusion matrix. The evaluation was conducted at the Engineering Science Building, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite with the Electronics Engineer Professors. Based on the results of the evaluation, the design project succeeded in achieving its objectives. The overall performance was considered satisfactory. The cost of the construction of the system amounted to P11,176.00.
