Abstract
The increasing growth of the world trade and growing concerns of food safety by consumers need a cutting-edge animal identification and traceability systems as the simple recording and reading of tags-based systems are only effective in eradication programs of national disease. Animal biometric-based solutions, e.g. muzzle imaging system, offer an effective and secure, and rapid method of addressing the requirements of animal identification and traceability systems. In this paper, we propose a robust and fast cattle identification approach. This approach makes use of Local Binary Pattern (LBP) to extract local invariant features from muzzle print images. We also applied different classifiers including Nearest Neighbor, Naive Bayes, SVM and KNN for cattle identification. The experimental results showed that our approach is superior than existed works as ours achieves 99,5% identification accuracy. In addition, the results proved that our proposed method achieved this high accuracy even if the testing images are rotated in various angels or occluded with different parts of their sizes.
