Abstract

This research aims to develop a prototype of using artificial intelligence (AI) in grading Mahachanok mangoes for export by applying deep learning techniques to increase efficiency and accuracy in the grading process of Mahachanok mangoes. Data was collected from 1,000 Mahachanok mango photos, which were graded under the following conditions: peel defects (the main factor), maturity (85-90%), shape (no distortion), and weight (between 300-500 grams), which were graded as A, B, C, and D. The CiRA CORE artificial intelligence tool was used to detect and classify Mahachanok mangoes, which were trained to recognize the characteristics of each grade to serve as a prototype for export grades. The test results show that the AI prototype has a high overall performance, with an average F1-Score of 91.90 percent and outstanding performance in classifying Mahachanok mangoes, with Grade A having the highest F1-Score at 96.20% (Precision 97.40%, Recall 95.00%), followed by Grade B at 95.20% (Precision 94.00%, Recall 96.50%), while Grade C and D have F1-Score at 89.00% (Precision 90.00%, Recall 88.00%) and 87.20% (Precision 85.50%, Recall 89.00%), respectively.
