Corner Key Point Extracted Deep Learning Framework Based Birds Species Classification

Climate change and habitat destruction have caused the extinction of many bird species. Classifying bird species is a crucial aspect of ornithology, as it aids in the comprehension of species distribution, habitat needs, and environmental changes that impact bird populations. Ornithologists can use variations in bird species distributions to measure the health of a particular environment. Expert ornithologists have relied heavily on visual inspection, which can be tedious, time-consuming, and unreliable when classifying bird species. The development of technology can be used to categorize the bird species. This paper proposes Corner Key Filtered VGG16 (CKP-VGG16) that categorizes eight bird species with high accuracy. The execution was carried out using the 4000 bird images from the KAGGLE Birds species Dataset. First, the CKP-VGG16 model separates the images of birds, and then it labels each image. After data augmentation on the labeled images, 84,000 bird images are produced. The augmented images are transformed into grayscale versions, which are then used in filtering techniques to produce Corner Key Point Filtered (CKP) bird image. The performance is analyzed by applying the CKP filtered bird images to the current CNN models. The application demonstrates that the suggested CKP-VGG16 model performs significantly well in classifying bird species, with a high accuracy of 99.7%.
