Abstract
This study investigates the applicability of Singular Value Decomposition for the image classification of specific breeds of cats and dogs using fur color as the primary identifying feature. Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) is employed to construct optimally weighted templates. The proposed method achieves 69% accuracy using the Frobenius norm at rank 10. The results partially validate the assumption that dominant features, such as fur color, can be effectively captured through low-rank approximations. However, the accuracy suggests that additional features or methods may be required for more robust classification, highlighting the trade-off between simplicity and performance in resource-constrained environments.
