Rice is recognized as one of the main cereals in the world, feeding two-thirds of the global population, especially in Asian countries. Accurate assessment of the percentage of filled grains (PFG) is crucial for the efficiency and quality of rice harvesting. Traditional methods of measuring PFG are practical and based on personal judgment. This study introduces an innovative and non-destructive approach based on an acoustic sensor alongside deep learning models to predict PFG based on the acoustic spectrum of rice grains. Using an advanced deep learning architecture, the Deep Spectrum, which works directly on raw spectral data, eliminates the need for preprocessing and enhances prediction accuracy. A modified impedance tube was used to measure the acoustic spectrum, which was then analyzed using the Deep Spectrum model to predict PFG. Results indicated that this approach significantly improves the quantitative analysis of spectral data and provides a reliable prediction of rice grain filling. The prediction accuracy of the Deep Spectrum model was significantly higher compared to traditional methods, with a low root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.24 ± 0.05 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.95 ± 0.02. This prediction is vital for assessing rice quality, breeding, and genetic research. This study introduces new perspectives and methods in the field of grain quality prediction and classification using acoustic spectrum analysis and deep learning, which could be beneficial for future research in this area.

New acoustic sensing approach for predicting the percentage of filled rice grains based on the acoustic absorption spectrum using the Deep Spectra
EXTENDED ABSTRACT
The results of this study were highly promising, demonstrating that the deep learning model, DeepSpectra, significantly outperformed traditional methods in predicting the percentage of filled grains in rice. The model achieved high accuracy, showcasing its capability to handle the raw spectral data effectively without the need for manual preprocessing. This is a considerable advancement over traditional grain analysis methods, which are slower and often less reliable. The discussion also highlights how the model's deep learning architecture, which includes multiple convolutional and pooling layers, contributes to its robust performance by effectively extracting and learning important features from complex datasets. The study further discusses the potential applications of this technology in the field of agricultural research and grain quality assessment, suggesting that it could be a valuable tool for rice breeders and geneticists looking to improve crop yields and grain quality.
The study concludes that the novel use of acoustic sensing technology combined with a deep learning analysis model offers a powerful and non-destructive method for accurately predicting the percentage of filled grains in rice. The acoustic absorption spectrum, as analyzed by the DeepSpectra model, provides a reliable indicator of grain quality, which is essential for rice breeding and genetic research. The implications of these findings are significant, as they suggest a shift towards more automated, precise, and efficient methods of grain analysis. This could lead to improvements in rice production strategies and better food security globally. Additionally, the study underscores the potential for expanding this technology to other grains and agricultural products, which could broadly revolutionize quality assessment in agriculture. The researchers highlight the need for further studies to refine the technology and fully realize its potential across different environments and grain types.
