<![CDATA[The purpose of this study was to develop a method of measuring the amylose content of rice using image processing techniques and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. The rice samples came from six varieties, namely Way Apo Buru, Mapan P05, IR-64, Cibogo, Inpari IR Nutri Zinc, and Inpari 33. The amylose content was measured by laboratory tests and the color intensity was measured based on the RGB (Red, Green, Blue). The ANN model will correlate the RGB color intensity as input with the amylose content as the output. The ANN model used is backpropagation type with 3 input layer nodes and 2 hidden layers with 3-5-5-1 architecture. Variations in the training model used are 27 variations of the activation function. The amount of data used for model training of 30 data while for validation of 12 data. The best ANN model is determined from the high value of accuracy (100%-MAPE) and the value of coefficient of determination (R2). The results showed the best network architecture on the activation function purelin-logsig-tansig. The R2 value on the best training and validation results of 0.98 and 0.66 while the accuracy values for the best training and validation results of 98.15 and 66.82. The validation results show that the developed non-destructive method can be used to quickly and accurately measure the amylose value of rice based on RGB color value. The test results show that the non-destructive method developed cannot be used to measure the amylose content of rice quickly and accurately based on the RGB color intensity, so it needs further development.
