Abstract:
Zophobas Morio and Tenebrio Molitor are popular larvae as feed ingredients that are widely used by animal lovers to feed reptiles, songbirds, and other poultry. These two larvae share a similar appearance, however; the nutritional ingredients are significantly different. Zophobas Morio is more nutritious and has a higher economic value compared to Tenebrio Molitor. Due to limited knowledge, many animal lovers find it difficult to distinguish between the two. This study aims to build a machine learning model that is able to distinguish between the two. The model is trained using images that are taken from a standard camera on a mobile phone. The training is carried on using a deep learning algorithm, by adopting an architecture through transfer learning, namely VGG-19 and Inception v3. The experimental results on the datasets show that the accuracy rates of the model are 94.219% and 96.875%, respectively. The results are quite promising for practical use and can be improved for future works.
