ReLU Activated Attention UNet Encipher Decipher Framework based Species Classification of Butterfly

The recognition and categorization of butterflies is crucial for the preservation of butterfly species in the fields of entomology, computer vision and deep learning. Environmentalists have long utilized butterflies as model organisms in the research on the effects of habitat degradation, dispersion, and warming temperatures. This paper recommends Relu Activated Attention UNet (RAA-UNet) that categorizes the nine butterfly species with high precision. The Butterfly Dataset contains 1664 butterfly images that were used in this investigation. The dataset consists of 832 photos of butterflies and 832 related images that have been segmented. The proposed RAA-UNet starts by creating masked butterfly pictures by masking the original image with a segmented butterfly image. To classify the butterfly species, the masked butterfly pictures are assigned to Attention UNet with Decoder and Encoder combined with the Attention gate and activated using Relu Activation function. The proposed RAA-UNet and conventional CNN models are fitted to the masked butterfly pictures. As demonstrated by the experiments, the RAA-UNet model works better with a high accuracy of 97.75% in the classification of butterfly species.
