Detecting High-risk Area for Lumpy Skin Disease in Cattle Using Deep Learning Feature

Abstract

Cattle’s lumpy skin disease is a viral disease that transmits by blood-feeding insects like mosquitoes. The disease mostly affects animals that have not previously been exposed to the virus. Cattle lumpy skin disease impacts milk, beef, and national and international livestock trade. Traditional lumpy skin disease diagnosis is very difficult due to, the lack of materials, experts, and time-consuming. Due to this, it is crucial to use deep learning algorithms with the ability to classify the disease with high accuracy performance results. Therefore, Deep learning-based segmentation and classification are proposed for disease segmentation and classification by using deep features. For this, 10 layers of Convolutional Neural Networks have been chosen. The developed framework is initially trained on a collected Cattle’s lumpy Skin Disease (CLSD) dataset. The features are extracted from input images; hence the color of the skin is very important to identify the affected area during disease representation we used a color histogram. This segmented area of affected skin color is used for feature extraction by a deep pre-trained CNN. Then the generated result is converted into a binary using a threshold. The Extreme learning machine (ELM) classifier is used for classification. The classification performance of the proposed methodology achieved an accuracy of 0.9012% on CLSD To prove the effectiveness of the proposed methods, we present a comparison with the state-of-the-art techniques.
