Identification of istihadhah blood color using TCS3200 color sensor with Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) method

Abstract

One of the natures of women, including menstruation, namely the discharge of blood from the vagina periodically and has a certain cycle. However, this cycle can experience disturbances, in Islam it is referred to as istihadloh. Women who are experiencing istihadloh are called mustahadloh. One of the mustahadloh categories is Mu'tadah Ghoiru Mumayyizah, namely women who have recently bled but cannot distinguish between strong and weak blood. This study aims to distinguish between menstrual blood and istihadloh based on its color. The research method was carried out by designing and manufacturing the TCS3200 color sensor tool based on Arduino Uno with RGB value output results. The average RGB value of istihadloh blood is R 71.6, G 83.7 and B 55.2. While the average RGB values for menstrual blood color are R 143.3, G 176.6 and B 79.3. The results of the classification accuracy using the MLP method in differentiating menstrual blood and istihadloh based on color using the TCS3200 color sensor are 96.7%.
