INTR ODUCTION The co w is one of the most essential domestic animals in the entire w orld. People dom esticate co ws for v arious reasons, lik e the production of dairy , meat, leather accessories, and so on [1]. Moreo v er , co ws can play crucial roles in the economy of a re gion [2]. So, people mak e co w f arms so that the y can tak e care of co ws appropriately . T o or g anize properly , sometimes co ws need to tak e treatment. In this instance, co w recognition is highl y needed. Besides, there are se v eral re gions of the w orld where the f armer can get insurance for the co w [3]. In this case, co w recognition is also required. Lik e these tw o sectors, there are also man y more sectors a v ailable where co w recognition systems can play v ery important roles [4]. There are man y AI-based co w recognition research projects that ha v e been conducted till no w . In AI-based solutions, data is pretty essential. On the other hand, it is time -consuming and pretty complicated to collect a suf cient amount of data. Additionally , the AI-based architectures are not suitable for non-computer scientists. Moreo v er , when the model encounters data which is not f amiliar to the model, then it will be dif cul t for the model to pro vide appropriate output. That is wh y we ha v e decided to mak e a no v el frame w ork of co w recognition that does not need a lar ge amount of data and is easy for an yone to use, e v en without a background J ournal homepage: http://ijict.iaescor e .com Evaluation Warning : The document was created with Spire.PDF for Python.
1862 ❒ ISSN: 2252-8776 in computer science. W e used you only look once (Y OLO) and structura l similarity inde x (SSI) to recognize co ws [5]. Y OLO is pretty signicant for image processing tasks lik e object detection, image se gmentation, and so on. Besides, for real-time predictions, the performance of Y OLO is quite phenomenal. As a consequence, we decided to use Y OLO for detecting muzzles. Afterw ards, we completed the task of muzzle comparison via SSI. The lar ge language model (LLM) is trained on v ast datasets to understand and respond to human language using transformer architecture [6]. Y OLO has launched se v eral v ersions till no w . Y OLO v7 is one of the amazing v ersions of Y OLO for image processing and computer vision tasks [7]. Y OLO v7 is comparati v ely better than its predecessors in terms of accurac y of real-time object detection and reduced 40% parameter than the earlier edition of the Y OLO. W e can di vide the architecture of Y OLO v7 into mainly three se gments, which are the backbone, neck, and head. Here, the backbone is responsible for fetching essential features from the images and sending these to the Neck. The Neck combines all the features of the backbone and mak es a p yramid. Finally , Head w orks for output prediction. Y OLO v8 is one of the v ersions of Y OLO that can outperform most other image processing algorithms [8]. T o predict the bounding box or an y class from the Y OLO v8 model, it is required to follo w se v eral steps. In this case, the rst one is di viding the image into a grid. The ne xt task is to e xtract features using con v olutional neural netw ork (CNN) [9]. Then, the Y OLO v8 model can predict the bounding box or class. And In Y OLO v9, programmable gradient information (PGI) and the generalized ef cient layer aggre g ation netw ork (GELAN) enhanced its performance [10]. Lik e Y OLO v7, the architecture of Y OLO v9 can be di vided into three parts: the backbone, neck, and head. Furthermore, the acti vities of these three parts are also similar . But Y OLO v9 has an adv anced layer , which enables Y OLO v9 to perform better . In this research, we trained model with three dif ferent v ersions of Y OLO and pro vided their performance. It will assist us in getting an idea of the appropriate v ersion of Y OLO for our proposed research. Along with these, we ha v e added self-enhancing features that enable our proposed system to con- sistently de v elop performance by interacting with the users. T o de v elop this no v el feature, we used LLM technology [11]. Our moti v e in this research is to launch a platform that will be capable of recognizing co ws and impro ving the performance of the platform consistently by interacting with its users. This co w recognition system can be di vided into tw o major se gments, one of which is detecting muzzles from the co w image, and the other is comparing muzzles. W e ha v e used Y OLO and SSI for the tasks of muzzle detection and muzzle comparison, respecti v ely . B ecause, Y OLO models are v ery popular for deplo yment because the y are f ast, easy to use, w ork well on lo w-cost de vices, and ha v e good support from the open-source community . So, Y OLO is quite essential for non-computer scientists, who w ant to deplo y object detection models in real-w orld applica- tions. On the other hand, LLM technology is used here to impro v e performance by pro viding a f aster response. Besides, LLM will help increase the amount of data consistently by interacting with the users. Also, we ha v e tested the performance of three v ersions of Y OLO, named Y OLO v7, v8, and v9 to nd the most suitable v ersions for our research. 2. RELA TED W ORKS Zin et al. [12] ha v e presented an approach to identify the co w based on the ear tag. Here, to fulll this task appropriately , we used Y OLO and CNN. The y ha v e collected data from t he videos of co ws on a dairy f arm in Japan. Lu et al. [13] ha v e disclosed a w ay of identifying co ws by analyzing their iris.

[16] proposed an approach to recognise co ws using CNN. Here, the authors ha v e de v eloped the CNN by including Ale xnet.This impro v ed model is able to secure the accurac y of 97.95%. Zin et al. [17] ha v e disclosed a unique w ay to recognize co ws in terms of the black and white pattern of their bodies. Initially , the y used inter -frame dif ferencing and a horizontal histogram-based approach to fetch the body from the co w image and cropped this se gment afterw ards.

Additionally , this frame w ork has the scope to inte grate v arious sectors lik e f arms, car go areas, sale yards and so on. 3. METHOD T o compl ete our research, we ha v e follo wed the sequence in Figure 1. Initially , we concentrated on collecting data and did the remaining tasks afterw ards. Figure 1. Process sequence of our research 3.1. Pr eparing data W e initially collected the images of the co w muzzle from online sources, some of t hem manually in real life. W e ha v e collected a total of 189 images of co w muzzles [28]. Afterw ards, we used roboo w to create a bounding box in the re gion of the co w muzzle. Here, 142 data were allocated for training, whereas 31 and 16 images were used for v alidation and testing purposes. Each image w as resized to a square dimension of 640x640 pix els. This resizing w as performed by stretching the image to t the specied dimensions, which may alter the original aspect ratio of the image. 3.2. T raining and muzzle detection T o train the model for detecting muzzles from the co w images, we used the Y OLO model. T o nd out the best Y OLO model, we trained the data with three dif ferent v ersions of Y OLO. These are Y OLO v7, v8, and v9. W e run each v ersion for up to 25 epochs. In T able 1, the information for the training conguration of each model is gi v en. W e ha v e also pro vided the three model summaries in T able 1. Aft er training the models, the models were sa v ed in the PyT orch format with the.pt e xtension. This le, which contains the trained model’ s weights and architecture, w as subsequently utilized for detecting muzzles. W e get the prediction of the coordinate of the muzzle from the trained model. Then, the muzzle part is cropped using the predicted coordinates. Afterw ards, this cropped re gion will be mo v ed forw ard to the comparison phase. A muzzle-based self-enhancing cow r eco gnition method . . .

Muzzle comparision At rst, the tw o muzzles will be con v erted to the same dimensions and con v erted to grayscale after - w ards. F ollo wing that, the absolute dif ference between the grayscale images is computed. This dif ference in image highlights the re gions where pix el v alues v ary between the tw o images. The dif ference image is then thresholded to produce a binary image. Pix els with dif ferences abo v e a specied threshold are mark ed, empha- sizing the areas of signicant change. After that, the SSI is calculated [29]. The SSI measures ho w similar tw o grayscale images are by comparing their brightness, contrast, and structure. Grayscale images are used in SSI calculations to simplify the comparison by focusing s olely on brightness and structural features without the added comple xity of color dif ferences. This mak es it easier to assess and quantify similarities and dif ferences in image content. If the SSI v alue is greater than 0.66, then it will be considered that tw o muzzles are the same. Otherwise, these are dif ferent. 3.3.1. Structural similarity index The SSI is an incredible algorithm to measure the similarity between tw o images. T o fetch the s imilar - ity via SSI, the pix el-wise comparison is not just between the tw o images; al so, the o v erall s tructural, contrast, and luminance similarity between the images will be calculat ed. T o e xtract the SSI, we rst need to gure out the dif ference between tw o images of luminance, contrast, and structure. Luminance calculation is the process of calculating the a v erage brightness of both images. On the other hand, contrast calculation means measuring the v ariations in brightness. The structure dif ference is the consistenc y of the patterns and te xtures between the tw o images. After nding these three v alues , it is needed to combine this three v alues.Then we will get the SSI [30]. The process of generating SSI is visually sho wn in Figure 2. Figure 2. Process of generating SSI The luminance comparison between tw o images x and y is gi v en by (1), which measures ho w similar the a v erage brightness le v els of the images are. Here, µ x and µ y represent the m ean luminance of images x and y , respecti v ely , and C 1 is a constant to a v oid di vision by zero.

Self enhancement After predicting the muzzle from the Y OLO model, it will rst be check ed to see whether the predic ted output is accurate or not. T o do so, we send a query to LLM with the output image. If the result is positi v e, the process will be forw arded to the ne xt step. Otherwise, the accurate coordinates of the muzzle bounding box will be predicted via LLM. Afterw ards, the image and predicted coordinates will be sa v ed in the database and will mo v e on to the ne xt phase. Thus, the amount of data will be consistently increasing by interacting with the users, which will impro v e the performance of pro viding f aster responses. Ho we v er , this platform will al w ays be capable of pro viding the correct response. Here, we used GPT 4o Api for getting output [31]. T o get an accur ate prediction from GPT 4o LLM, we initially pro vided se v eral co w images with their corresponding coordinates of the muzzle so that LLM can understand the pattern of recognition of the re gion of the muzzle.

Whether the prediction is accurate or not will be check ed by ou r proposed “Self Enhancement” feature. After going through the process of “Self Enhancement”, the ultimate output of muzzle co-ordinate will be predicted.

Otherwise, these are dif ferent. Figure 4. Ov ervie w of ultimate output prediction 4. RESUL T AN AL YSIS In our research, we trained the data using three dif f erent v ersions of Y OLO. The performance of Y OLOv7, Y OLOv8, and Y OLOv9 w as e v aluated based on four metrics: precision, recall, mAP50, and mAP50- 95 [32]-[35]. The results of these three v ersions in terms of the four metrics are pro vided in T able 2. Precision is the accurac y of positi v e predictions, while recall measures the ability to identify all rele v ant instances of a model. The formulas for precision and recall are pro vided in (8) and (9), respecti v ely . On the other hand, mAP50 is the mean a v erage precision calculated at an intersection o v er union (IoU) threshold of 0.50, while mAP50-95 is the mean a v erage precision a v eraged o v er multiple IoU thresholds ranging from 0.50 to 0.95. The formulas for mAP50 and mAP50-95 are gi v en in (10) and (11), respecti v ely . From T able 2, we can see that Y OLOv9 outperforms the other v ersions in terms of eecall, mAP50, and mAP50-95. Ho we v er , Y OLOv7 pro vides the best result in terms of precision. Based on the four performance metrics in T able 2, Y OLOv9 is selected as the best o v erall. Although Y OLOv7 and Y OLOv8 perform better than Y OLOv9 in Precision, Y OLOv9 is preferred due to its superior performance in the more critical metrics of mAP50 and mAP50-95. Figure 5 presents the nal prediction res ults. Figures 5(a) and 5(b) pro vide tw o sample nal predic- tions. From our proposed system, users can determine whether tw o co ws are the same or not based on the muzzle. The SSI v alues of the inputs in Figures 5(a) and 5(b) are 0.6970 and 0 .581756, respecti v ely . If the SSI is greater than 0.66, the co ws are considered to be the same. Therefore, the ultimate outputs for Figures 5(a) and 5(b) are the same and dif ferent, respecti v ely . These results indicate that the proposed algorithm is capable of making accurate predictions. Moreo v er , we ha v e added a unique feature to the proposed system named “Self-Enhancing” using an LLM. Figure 6 sho ws three sample muzzle predictions generated by the LLM. Finally , Figure 7 presents the performance comparison of the three Y OLO v ersions.

CONCLUSION In this research, we ha v e demonstrated an insane method and also presented the ef fecti v eness of the performance of the proposed frame w ork where Y OLO and LLM w ork together to deli v er appropriate output to the users. Moreo v er , we ha v e also compared the performance of three types of Y OLO v ersions named Y OLOv7, Y OLOv8, and Y OLOv9. On the other hand, it is also pro v ed that Y OLO is well capable of learning with a little amount of Roboo w-annotated data. That has sho wn potential to implement the services of Y OLO and Roboo w in man y industry-friendly products. Along with this, the inte gration of LLM into the system has made the scope to implement the system instantly to the users without an y data, and that becomes feasible because of ha ving a feature in the system named self-enhancing. That is ho w we accomplished the research of making a user -friendly co w identication fram e w ork with lo w computational resources and auto-impro ving ability . In the future, we ha v e the moti v e to de v elop this frame w ork by ensuring the data securit y of the users by implementing distrib uted ledger technology lik e blockchain. This impro v ement will open more doors to use this frame w ork where data security is highly essential. Also, we ha v e another objecti v e to add of ine LLM lik e LLaV A in the future.
