This study presents a cascaded classification framework designed for sea turtle facial recognition using small datasets. The system applies three YOLO-based classifiers to sequentially identify species, count facial scales, and analyze scale features. Data augmentation methods such as Gaussian noise and CutMix significantly improved performance, especially for fine-grained classification. The framework achieved over 98% accuracy on key tasks and effectively reduced manual verification workload, offering a practical solution for marine conservation efforts.
