Abstract

Crab species classification is a crucial task in marine biology and ecological studies. This research presents an integrated approach using Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for the accurate classification of crab species. The study leverages SVM, a classical machine learning algorithm, and CNN, a state-of-the-art deep learning model, to explore their effectiveness in distinguishing between different crab species based on image data. The research employs pre-trained models such as MobileNetV2 and VGG16 for feature extraction and investigates their performance in predicting crab species from images. Additionally, a custom CNN model is developed and trained on a dataset comprising three crab species: Callinectes sapidus, king crab, and sally lightfoot crab. The models are evaluated and compared based on their accuracy in classifying images from a real-world crab dataset.
