Description
Summary:This study proposes a computer vision and machine learning (ML)-based approach to classify gender and breed in native chicken production industries with minimal human intervention. The supervised ML and feature extraction algorithms are utilized to classify eleven Indian chicken breeds, with 17,600 training samples and 4,400 testing samples (80:20 ratio). The gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) algorithm is applied for feature extraction, and the principle component analysis (PCA) algorithm is used for feature selection. Among the tested 27 classifiers, the FG-SVM, F-KNN, and W-KNN classifiers obtain more than 90% accuracy, with individual accuracies of 90.1%, 99.1%, and 99.1%. The BT classifier performs well in gender and breed classification work, achieving accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and F-scores of 99.3%, 90.2%, 99.4%, and 99.5%, respectively, and a mean absolute error of 0.7.
