Flamingo Diet and Health Detection Based on Colour Classification

Flamingos are known for their vibrant pink and reddish hues, which are not merely aesthetic but indicative of their overall health and diet. These colors are derived from carotenoid pigments in their food sources, making coloration a vital marker for monitoring their well-being and environmental conditions. This study introduces a two-stage classification methodology designed to safeguard flamingo populations by leveraging deep learning techniques. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are used for both shape and color detection, ensuring accurate identification of flamingos and insights into their health status. Simulation results demonstrated the CNNs model’s effectiveness, making it a valuable resource for wildlife conservation efforts aimed at preserving flamingo habitats. The first stage employs digital classification filters to distinguish flamingo images from other species, achieving an accuracy of 97.52%, while the second stage refines these detections through color analysis with an accuracy of 86.27%. This approach promises to mark a significant advancement in wildlife conservation, offering reliable methods for assessing and managing flamingo populations in their natural environments.
