Fundus camera-based precision monitoring of blood vitamin A level for Wagyu cattle using deep learning by Nanding Li, Naoshi Kondo, Yuichi Ogawa, Keiichiro Shiraga, Mizuki Shibasaki, Daniele Pinna, Moriyuki Fukushima, Shinichi Nagaoka, Tateshi Fujiura, Xuehong De, Tetsuhito Suzuki

“…This study developed a handheld camera system capable of capturing cattle fundus images and predicting vitamin A levels in real time using deep learning. 4000 fundus images from 50 Japanese Black cattle were used to train and test the prediction algorithms, and the model achieved an average 87%, 83%, and 80% accuracy for three levels of vitamin A deficiency classification (particularly 87% for severe level), demonstrating the effectiveness of camera system in vitamin A deficiency prediction, especially for screening and early warning. More importantly, a new method was exemplified to utilise visualisation heatmap for colour-related DNNs tasks, and it was found that chromatic features extracted from LRP heatmap highlighted-ROI could account for 70% accuracy for the prediction of vitamin A deficiency. …”
