Abstract
This paper introduces a comprehensive strategy to mitigate training bias in cattle breed identification models, focusing on cow orientation in still frames. Leveraging YOLOv7 for face detection, our methodology incorporates a novel orientation-aware pre-processing step that categorizes images into right-oriented, left-oriented, original, and original with inverted orientations. The breed identification model, based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), is trained on this augmented dataset. While the left-oriented approach achieves the highest accuracy, the original and inverted orientation strategy demonstrates superior validation accuracy, showcasing its effectiveness in addressing bias during real-world applications with varied cow orientations. These findings underscore the importance of orientation-aware training for robust cattle breed identification, providing a solution for an overlooked niche
