Overview:
This project showcases the development of an Image Classification system using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), a state-of-the-art technique in deep learning. The model was designed to classify images from a CIFAR-10 dataset, which consists of 60,000 images across 10 different categories, such as airplanes, cats, and dogs. The goal of this project is to demonstrate the power of CNNs in automatically classifying and labeling images, making it ideal for applications in image recognition and object detection.
Technologies Used:
- Python
- TensorFlow and Keras
- OpenCV for image processing
- Matplotlib for data visualization
- CIFAR-10 dataset for training and evaluation
Key Features:
- Data Preprocessing: The images are processed by resizing, normalizing, and augmenting them to improve model performance and generalization.
- CNN Architecture: The project leverages a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture, which includes multiple convolutional layers, pooling layers, and dense layers, to extract features and classify images.
- Data Augmentation: The model uses data augmentation techniques such as random rotations, zooming, and flips to artificially increase the dataset size and improve model robustness.
- Model Evaluation: After training, the model is evaluated on various metrics such as accuracy, precision, and recall to ensure its effectiveness in classifying images accurately.
- Hyperparameter Tuning: Through careful experimentation with hyperparameters like learning rate, batch size, and the number of epochs, I optimized the model for better accuracy and faster convergence.
Challenges Faced:
- Overfitting: Initially, the model was overfitting to the training data. This was resolved by introducing dropout layers and increasing the training dataset using data augmentation.
- Hyperparameter Tuning: It took several iterations to fine-tune the learning rate, batch size, and epoch count for the best performance. The model was optimized to achieve higher accuracy while preventing overfitting.
Potential Use Cases:
- Automatic Image Tagging: The model can be integrated into websites or applications to automatically tag and categorize images.
- Object Detection: The model could be extended for real-time object detection applications such as security surveillance or automated vehicles.
- Healthcare Imaging: With further training on medical datasets, the model could be used for medical image classification to identify diseases or conditions in x-rays, MRIs, etc.
