Corn classification process is a necessary and accurate process in many places in the world today. Correct corn classification is important to identify product quality and to distinguish good from bad. In this study, a hybrid model was proposed to classify the 3 corn species belonging to the Zea mays family. In the hybrid model, 12 different morphological features of corn were obtained. These morphological features were used for the classification process in the hybrid model created using machine learning (ML) algorithms. When morphological features were given as input to ML algorithms for normal classification, the test score was 96.66% for Decision Tree (DT), 97.32% for Random Forest (RF) and 96.66% for Naive Bayes (NB). With the proposed hybrid model, this rate has reached 100% test score in all three algorithms. Test processes were measured by statistical models. While Accuracy was 97.67% as a result of normal classification, this rate was 100% in hybrid model. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed corn classification system.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessComputer VisionCorn ClassificationImage Collection SystemMachine LearningArticle10.1007/s00217-022-04181-xQ1WOS:000912680100001Q2
