Description
Summary:In this study, the implementation of traditional machine learning models in the intelligent management of swine is explored, focusing on the impact of LDA preprocessing on pig facial recognition using an SVM. Through experimental analysis, the kernel functions for two testing protocols, one utilizing an SVM exclusively and the other employing a combination of LDA and an SVM, were identified as polynomial and RBF, both with coefficients of 0.03. Individual identification tests conducted on 10 pigs demonstrated that the enhanced protocol improved identification accuracy from 83.66% to 86.30%. Additionally, the training and testing durations were reduced to 0.7% and 0.3% of the original times, respectively. These findings suggest that LDA preprocessing significantly enhances the efficiency of individual pig identification using an SVM, providing empirical evidence for the deployment of SVM classifiers in mobile and embedded systems.
