Classification of Image using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)

Abstract

Computer vision is concerned with the automatic extraction, analysis, and understanding of useful information from a single image or a sequence of images. We have used Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) in automatic image classification systems. In most cases, we utilize the features from the top layer of the CNN for classification; however, those features may not contain enough useful information to predict an image correctly. In some cases, features from the lower layer carry more discriminative power than those from the top. Therefore, applying features from a specific layer only to classification seems to be a process that does not utilize learned CNN’s potential discriminant power to its full extent. Because of this property we are in need of fusion of features from multiple layers. We want to create a model with multiple layers that will be able to recognize and classify the images. We want to complete our model by using the concepts of Convolutional Neural Network and CIFAR-10 dataset. Moreover, we will show how MatConvNet can be used to implement our model with CPU training as well as less training time. The objective of our work is to learn and practically apply the concepts of Convolutional Neural Network.

Convolutional Neural Networks and Heuristic Methods for Crowd Counting: A Systematic Review

“…The general concept is to understand the various features of the image under analysis by browsing its content from left to right or top to bottom, and then combining the different scanned local features in order to classify it. A CNN includes three layers: convolutional layer, pooling layer, and fully connected layer [ 53 , 54 , 55 ].…”

“…The CNN is the most common and widely utilized algorithm in the area of DL [11] [12]. CNN have recently become one of the most appealing approaches, and have been a final factor in a variety of new successes and challenging applications associated with ML applications such as natural object classification and segmentation, handwriting recognition, object detection, face recognition, image classification, and many other fields involving pattern recognition [13]. The CNN [14][15] is a well-known image processing applications.…”

“…The basic concept behind CNNs is to spatially convolve the kernel on an input image to see if the function it's supposed to detect is present. Convolution is performed by computing the kernel's dot product with the input field and then generating a features map [14]. The convolution operation is shown in Fig.…”

“…Convolution and pooling output is flattened into a single vector of values, each representing a probability that defines a specific feature of the class. In the end, we can create a fully connected network to classify the dataset [14]. The fully connected layer is shown in Fig.…”
