Biometric Muzzle Pattern Recognition for Cattle Identification using Deep Learning

The ability to identify specific cows is a critical aspect of keeping cattle. Registration is essential for the production, distribution, and breeding of cows. It is dangerous to brand cows in the ear in the traditional manner. To solve this issue, we recommend using a biometric scanner for identification. Numerous studies have shown that the muzzle pattern can be used to distinguish animals and eliminate inconsistent patterns. This strategy might be effective in reducing spurious matching muzzle patterns. On the tip of their nose or muzzle, the majority of animals have a distinctive pattern. An animal's characteristic pattern is obvious to the unaided eye once it is born. Animals can be recognized by human muzzle patterns, just like with fingerprints. Systems for identifying animals are needed, as they would be useful for submitting loan and insurance applications. Based on a biometric muzzle scanner, the approach of machine learning, image processing, and computer vision has been assessed for identification purposes.
