Quality Grading of Beef using Deep Convolutional Neural Network

Beef is one of the most widely consumed meat, being an organic substance it is prone to degradation over time. In our paper we have proposed a Convolutional Neural Network model to grade a given sample of Beef and predict its freshness as good or bad. We have proposed a CNN model architecture along with a data (image) pre-processing pipeline that can be used to classify a given Beef sample. We have done comparative analysis between different pre-processing pipelines as well as other CNN based classification models and after training have achieved 99.63% test accuracy.
