Abstract

In this paper, Feature weighting is used to create an intelligent and effective classification method for Kinnow fruits. Feature weighting approach is used because it improves classification performance more than feature selection methods. The modified sunflower optimization algorithm (SFO) is proposed to search the optimal feature weights and parametric values of k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN).The levy flight distribution operator has been utilised to enhance the convergence speed of the sunflower optimization algorithm by improving the local and global search ability of the optimization algorithm. Also, the algorithmic parameter of the SFO algorithm has been adaptively selected using the linear time varying adaption method. In addition, tanh normalization technique is used for the data pre-processing to reduce the influence of outliers and dominating features before the feature weighting method. The findings suggest that the proposed wrapper based approach feature weighting technique is more capable of achieving higher accuracy than the existing strategies.
