Padang cuisine is a renowned Indonesian culinary heritage with diverse dishes that are often challenging to identify visually due to their similarities and variations. This study proposes a digital image-based classification system to accurately recognize five types of Padang dishes: Rendang, Dendeng Batokok, Ayam Pop, Gulai Tambusu, and Gulai Tunjang. Feature extraction was performed using a pre-trained ResNet model to leverage its deep residual architecture, which effectively captures rich visual information. The extracted features were then used to train and compare two classifiers: Support Vector Machine (SVM) with Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel, and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) with three hidden layers and ReLU activation optimized by Adam. The dataset comprised 548 images collected from Kaggle, evenly distributed across the five dish categories. Evaluation metrics included accuracy, precision, and recall. Experimental results show that SVM achieved the highest performance with an accuracy of 87.9%, outperforming MLP, which obtained 87.3%. The findings suggest that SVM with RBF kernel is more suitable for classifying Padang dishes on a limited dataset, while MLP holds potential with further optimization and larger datasets. This research contributes to the advancement of automated culinary recognition systems, supporting the preservation and promotion of Indonesian culinary heritage through artificial intelligence.
