Classification of meat using the convolutional neural network

Abstract

Every animal meat has different color and texture, for example, beef has a dark red color with a chewy texture, while pork has a pale red color and smooth fiber. A previous study has classified types of meat using gray level co-ocurrence matrix (GLCM), hue saturation value (HSV), and color intensity. In this research, we created meat classification between beef, pork, and horse meat using a convolutional neural network (CNN) develop in jupyter notebook, using the MobileNetV2 model, and 315 meat images as a dataset divided into 3 groups, 70% image for the training dataset, 20% image for the testing dataset, and 10% image for validation dataset. Before dividing the image into 3 groups, the image is resized to 224×224, and convert the color to grayscale. The model is trained with a training dataset, the epoch of 50, and Adam optimizer, the results show an accuracy of 93.15%.
