Cattle Recognition Based on Face and Muzzle Point Features

Abstract

This thesis represents a culmination of work and better learning that has taken place in the last couple of years. The idea of this thesis began when I met Dr. Sanjay Kumar Singh, (Associate Professor), Department of Computer Science and Engineering, I.I.T (B.H.U.) during research interaction. I had an opportunity to discuss the major issues related to my research work. He appreciated my coherent set of ideas. He suggested me to design and develop some novel findings for the recognition and verification of animals based on their primary discriminatory biometric features using computer vision, pattern recognition, image processing and animal biometric based approaches.
