The Dog Breed Classifier with VGG16 is an image classification project that identifies the breed of a dog based on input images. The model is trained using the VGG16 architecture and a dataset from Stanford University containing a wide variety of dog breeds.
#Key Features
-
Precise Classification: The classifier can accurately with an accuracy 99%. It identify over 120 different dog breeds, making it a powerful tool for dog enthusiasts and researchers.
-
VGG16 Architecture: The model is built on the VGG16 deep learning architecture, known for its effectiveness in image classification tasks.
The Dog Breed Classifier employs the following steps:
-
Data Preparation: The Stanford Dog Dataset, consisting of thousands of labeled dog images, is preprocessed and divided into training, validation, and test sets.
-
Transfer Learning: The VGG16 model, pre-trained on the ImageNet dataset, serves as the base model. Only the top layers are customized for the specific dog breed classification task.
-
Training: The model is fine-tuned using the training set to adapt it to the nuances of dog breed recognition. The training process involves multiple epochs and utilizes techniques like data augmentation.
-
Validation: The model's performance is assessed on the validation set, helping to prevent overfitting and fine-tuning hyperparameters.
-
Testing: The final model's accuracy and reliability are evaluated on the test set.
