Abstract

Automatic identification of sheep herd is always an unsolved technical problem. This is because there are many kinds of sheep, and there are great differences in individual morphology and characteristics. Moreover, human’s mastery of the individual characteristics of different breeds of sheep is only in the stage of experience. So far, people have not completely established the classification database of individual characteristics of sheep.This paper is a summary of the exploratory research on this technical problem. It provides a sheep recognition and classification algorithm based on deep learning. The algorithm adopts dual channel convolution neural network, and carries out reverse transmission according to the image characteristics in time to realize the adaptive adjustment of weight. Once the optimal or suboptimal weight is obtained, the iteration is ended, and the identified objects are located, counted and classified. The experimental results show that the algorithm can greatly reduce the calculation time and make the recognition and classification more accurate.
