Surface roughness of crushed stone affects the adhesion between aggregates and cement paste, but its assessment is generally based on visual observation or indirect physical testing, which may vary between observers and lacks quantitative representation. This study aims to compare the surface roughness of crushed stone from Sea and Lansot, North Sulawesi, using Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features and to evaluate the capability of Support Vector Machine (SVM) for roughness classification. The dataset consisted of 200 images, comprising 100 images from each location and equally divided into Smooth and Rough classes based on a composite scoring rubric referring to SNI 7619:2012. Pre-processing included RGB-to-HSV conversion using the Value channel, contrast stretching, and object cropping. Six GLCM features, namely Contrast, Dissimilarity, Homogeneity, Energy, Correlation, and Entropy, were extracted using distances of 1, 3, and 5 pixels and angles of 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°. Classification was performed using SVM with GridSearchCV and 5-Fold Cross Validation. The location-based descriptive comparison showed that Lansot samples exhibited higher Contrast, Dissimilarity, and Entropy values and lower Homogeneity, Energy, and Correlation values than Sea samples, indicating greater image-texture variation in the Lansot samples. The SVM with the Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel achieved 93.33% cross-validation accuracy and 96.00% test accuracy, with precision, recall, and F1-score of 96.00%. The RBF kernel also performed significantly better than the Linear kernel (p = 0.0026). These findings indicate the potential of GLCM and SVM for image-based characterization and classification of crushed-stone surface texture.
