A multi-view multi-label fast model for Auricularia cornea phenotype identification and classification.

The identification and classification of various phenotypic features of Auricularia cornea fruit bodies are crucial for quality grading and breeding efforts. The phenotypic features of Auricularia cornea fruit bodies encompass size, number, shape, color, pigmentation, and damage. These phenotypic features are distributed across various views of the fruit bodies, making the task of achieving both rapid and accurate identification and classification challenging. This paper proposes a novel multi-view multi-label fast network that integrates two different views of the Auricularia cornea fruiting body, enabling rapid and precise identification and classification of six phenotypic features simultaneously. Initially, a multi-view feature extraction model based on partial convolution was constructed. This model incorporates channel attention mechanisms to achieve rapid phenotypic feature extraction of the Auricularia cornea fruiting body. Subsequently, an efficient multi-task classifier was designed, based on class-specific residual attention, to ensure accurate classification of phenotypic features. Finally, task weights were dynamically adjusted based on heteroscedastic uncertainty, reducing the training complexity of the multi-task classification. The proposed network achieved a classification accuracy of 94.66% and an inference speed of 11.9 ms on an image dataset of dried Auricularia cornea fruiting bodies with three views and six labels. The results demonstrate that the proposed network can efficiently and accurately identify and classify all phenotypic features of Auricularia cornea.
