Abstract

Some of the main human health hazards occur through the consumption of fungus. It is detrimental to food and threatens human health. Fungus’s symptom is not clear, making them extremely harmful to human and food resources. Over the past few decades, many studies have been conducted on the early detection of fungus existence in biological systems. Fungus’s symptom is not clear, making them extremely harmful to human and food resources. Over the past few decades, many studies have been conducted on the early detection of fungus existence in biological systems. In this paper, we study and implement machine learning methods that can detect and classify fungus using nail finger fungus images. Our study shows that the neural network-based method and more importantly deep learning method using state-of-the-art CNN models have higher predictive performance compared to that of other machine learning approaches.
