ABSTRACT
This paper focuses on producing an Image Detection Similarity program that will be used to determine whether two similar images are the same object or not. As known, images can go through multiple transformations in size, colour, pixilation, etc. The program produced should be able to detect that the two images (an original image and an edited one) present are of the same object. Using Python Programming language, Deep Learning with Machine Learning will help achieve the desired results by using Computer Vision. This program will be tailored for identifying livestock, the Livestock industry is worth Billions of Rands, and Livestock owners lose billions every year due to the loss of Livestock. To put things into perspective this number was 3.9 billion in 2015 (in the United States) [1], due to a multitude of reasons including Theft, losing track of animals, and animals getting lost. Having adequate Livestock identifying methods would decrease such numbers drastically.
