Abstract
This study explores the integration of machine learning to enhance the predictive accuracy of RF reflectometry for crop quality sensing, specifically focusing on dry matter and starch content estimation in cassava. To enhance sensing accuracy, we implement AI-driven frequency selection using iterative linear regression and random forest models. A dataset of RF measurements spanning 30 kHz to 200 MHz was analysed to identify the most predictive frequency combinations. Results demonstrate that a single-frequency regression achieves an R 2 of 0.64, while iterative multiple linear regression for 2-frequency combinations yields an R 2 of 0.71. However, the ML techniques results show an R 2 of 0.67 for single frequency modelling and 0.78 for two frequency combinations. This would enhance the application and utility of crop quality sensors based on RF reflectometry measurement.
