This study attempted to apply machine vision-based chips drying monitoring system which is able to optimise the drying process of cassava chips. The objective of this study is to propose fish swarm intelligent (FSI) optimization algorithms to find the most significant set of image features suitable for predicting water content of cassava chips during drying process using artificial neural network model (ANN). Feature selection entails choosing the feature subset that maximizes the prediction accuracy of ANN. Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) was used in this study which consisted of prediction accuracy maximization and feature-subset size minimization. The results showed that the best feature subset i.e. grey mean, L(Lab) Mean, a(Lab) energy, red entropy, hue contrast, and grey homogeneity. The best feature subset has been tested successfully in ANN model to describe the relationship between image features and water content of cassava chips during drying process with R2 of real and predicted data was equal to 0.9. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
