Recognition of Cattle Using Face Images

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

In this chapter, a cattle recognition system is proposed. The proposed cattle recognition system uses the face image for identification of cattle using computer vision approaches. The major research contributions of this research are in three folds: (1) the preparations of a facial image database of cattle, (2) extraction of discriminatory set of features from the cattle’s face image database and implementation of computer vision-based face recognition representation algorithms for recognizing individual cattle, and (3) finally, the experimental results and discussion of face recognition algorithms. Thus, this chapter presents a comprehensive review of the performances of various computer vision and pattern recognition approaches for the application of cattle face recognition.
