Cow face identification plays a crucial role in the cattle management system. Previous studies have primarily focused on radio frequency identification, and a few researchers devote to the cow face identification field. In this paper, instead of solely extracting features from individual images, we have constructed datasets for cow face identification. The datasets include the facial images of an all-black cow, an all-white cow, and a mixed black-and-white cow. We apply the convolutional neural networks method by utilizing ResNet backbone architectures, and additionally, we incorporate different loss functions and attention modules to enhance the model’s capacity. The results demonstrate that our methods have achieved an identification accuracy rate of 97.04% and FRR of 5.06%, which also improves identification speed and performance compared to other studies, marking a notable advancement in cow face identification.
