A novel method combining deep learning with the Kennard-Stone algorithm for training dataset selection for image-based rice seed variety identification.

The experimental results indicate that both supervised and unsupervised learning models performed effectively as feature extractors, and the deep learning framework significantly influenced the selection of training set samples. This study presents a novel approach for training sample selection in classification tasks and suggests the potential for extending the proposed method to image datasets and other types of datasets. Further exploration of this potential is warranted. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
