Abstract
Food samples are routinely screened for food-contaminating beetles (i.e., pantry beetles) due to their adverse impact on the economy, environment, public health and safety. If found, their remains are subsequently analyzed to identify the species responsible for the contamination; each species poses different levels of risk, requiring different regulatory and management steps. At present, this identification is done through manual microscopic examination since each species of beetle has a unique pattern on its elytra (hardened forewing). Our study sought to automate the pattern recognition process through machine learning. Such automation will enable more efficient identification of pantry beetle species and could potentially be scaled up and implemented across various analysis centers in a consistent manner. In our earlier studies, we demonstrated that automated species identification of pantry beetles is feasible through elytral pattern recognition. Due to poor image quality, however, we failed to achieve prediction accuracies of more than 80%. Subsequently, we modified the traditional imaging technique, allowing us to acquire high-quality elytral images. In this study, we explored whether high-quality elytral images can truly achieve near-perfect prediction accuracies for 27 different species of pantry beetles. To test this hypothesis, we developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) model and compared performance between two different image sets for various pantry beetles. Our study indicates improved image quality indeed leads to better prediction accuracy; however, it was not the only requirement for achieving good accuracy. Also required are many high-quality images, especially for species with a high number of variations in their elytral patterns. The current study provided a direction toward achieving our ultimate goal of automated species identification through elytral pattern recognition.
