Classification of Types of Betel Leaves (Piper Betel Linn) Using An Android-Based Neural Network Backpropagation

Betel leaves, renowned for their medicinal properties, are utilized in treatments and serve cultural and ornamental purposes. Despite various morphological similarities among betel leaf types, their distinct properties and uses vary. For instance, green betel is employed in medicine and cultural rituals, Irian betel serves as a fresh vegetable or anti-inflammatory remedy, and black betel is a pest repellent with a sharp aroma and tough texture. Recognizing these types can be challenging for those lacking knowledge about the plant. Image processing technology offers a solution involving texture, shape, and color feature extraction, followed by classification using a BackPropagation Neural Network. This research successfully classified five betel types with a system accuracy of 91.4%.
