<![CDATA[Food security has become a pressing global issue with the increasing population and food consumption needs. Red kidney beans, peanuts, and sunflower seeds play a crucial role in meeting the nutritional needs of society and serving as raw materials for various industries. This study aims to develop a seed classification system based on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithms. The system is designed to recognize three types of seeds—red kidney beans, peanuts, and sunflower seeds—to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the classification process compared to manual methods. The dataset consists of 58 seed image samples, divided into training data (48 samples) and test data (10 samples). The research stages include image preprocessing (cropping, background removal, and thresholding segmentation), feature extraction using PCA to reduce data dimensionality, and classification with KNN based on Euclidean distance. A value of K=3 is used in the KNN algorithm to determine the proximity between data points. The test results show a classification accuracy of 90%, with 9 out of 10 test data correctly classified. PCA successfully simplified high-dimensional data into two main components without significant information loss, while KNN demonstrated strong capability in distinguishing the three types of seeds. This research contributes to the development of an AI-based automatic classification system for the food industry, with broader potential applications in high-dimensional data processing across various fields.]]>
