Identifying West African taurine cattle breed has become vital since uncontrolled crossing with zebus is jeopardizing their genetic heritage and trypanoresistance capacity. In this study, a computer vision solution is proposed for lobi taurine cattle classification. We implemented a customized Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) on a dataset containing 2379 images taken from three angles: front, side, and rear. The CNN was trained on four subsets of the image data according to the angle of shooting. The training is accelerated by a GeForce RTX3080 laptop GPU. The model yields only 78% precision for the mixed image dataset. Precision rises when the images are split by angle of view: 91% for side images and up to 99% for rear view images. Transfer learning has also been applied for comparison between our model and pretrained models. VGG-16 improved the results for all subsets.

摘要

Identifying West African taurine cattle breed has become vital since uncontrolled crossing with zebus is jeopardizing their genetic heritage and trypanoresistance capacity. In this study, a computer vision solution is proposed for lobi taurine cattle classification. We implemented a customized Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) on a dataset containing 2379 images taken from three angles: front, side, and rear. The CNN was trained on four subsets of the image data according to the angle of shooting. The training is accelerated by a GeForce RTX3080 laptop GPU. The model yields only 78% precision for the mixed image dataset. Precision rises when the images are split by angle of view: 91% for side images and up to 99% for rear view images. Transfer learning has also been applied for comparison between our model and pretrained models. VGG-16 improved the results for all subsets.
