Bi-Directional Classification of Roman Period Coins by Deep Learning Methods

Abstract

In this study, the problem of classification of coins, which have historical importance and can only be distinguished by experts, is discussed with pre-learning deep learning algorithms. In the solution of the problem, the RRC-60 dataset, which consists of the images of the coins used in the Roman Republic period, was used. In this study, pre-learning Xception, MobileNetV3-L, EfficientNetB0 and DenseNet201 models were trained using the images on both sides of the coins in the data set. As a result of the training, the best values, Precision, Recall and F1-Score metrics in the MobileNetV3-L model were 98.2%, 96.8%, 97.5%, respectively, and the test accuracy was 95.2%
