    Abstract Biometric identification provides an important tool for precision livestock farming. This study investigates the effect of weight gain and sheep maturation on recognition performance. Sheep facial identification was implemented using two convolutional neural network (CNN) called Faster R-CNN, and ResNet50V2, equipped with the state-of-art Additive Angular Margin (ArcFace) loss function. The identification model was tested on 47 young sheep at different stages, during a 3-month growth period, when they were between 2 and 5 months old, throughout which the sheep gained approximately 30 kilograms in weight. Results revealed that when the model was trained and tested on images of sheep aged 2 months, the average accuracy of the group was 95.4%, compared with 91.3% when trained on images of sheep aged 2 months but tested on images of sheep aged 5 months.

    Abstract This paper describes a sheep biometric identification system based on facial images. A machine vision system and deep learning model were developed and applied for animal identification. The system included two 8-MegaPixels cameras installed in a controlled water trough adapted to work with NVIDIA Jetson Nano-embedded system-on-module (SoM). Data from 81 Assaf breed sheep, aged two to three months, from two different groups of sheep, were collected over a period of two weeks. The biometric identification model included two steps: face detection and classification. In order to locate and localize the sheep's face in an image, the Faster R-CNN deep learning object detection algorithm was applied. The detected face was provided as input to seven different classification models. Different transfer learning methods were examined. The best performance was obtained using a ResNet50V2 model with the state-of-art ArcFace loss function. The identification system resulted in average accuracies of 95% for the two groups tested. When applying transfer learning methods, average identification accuracies improved to 97% in both groups, and the training process was accomplished in half the time. The newly developed system proves the feasibility of individual biometric identification of sheep on commercial farms.
