Abstract

There are so many cat races in the world. Ignorance in recognizing cat breeds will be dangerous if the cat being kept is affected by a disease, which allows mishandling of the cat being kept. In addition, many cat breeds have different foods from one race to another. The problem is that a cat caretaker cannot easily recognize the cat breed. Therefore, technology needs to help a cat caretaker to treat cats appropriately. In this study, we proposed a Machine Learning approach to recognize cat breeds. This study aims to identify the cat breed from the cat images then deployed on an Android smartphone. It was tested with data from cat images of 13 races. The classification method applied in this study uses the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm using transfer learning. The base models tested are MobilenetV2, VGG16, and InceptionV3. The results tested using several models and through several experimental scenarios produced the best classification model with an accuracy of 82% with MobilenetV2. The model with the best accuracy is then embedded in an application with the Android operating system. Then the application is named Catbreednet.
