Abstract
Convolutional neural network is widely used to perform the task of image classification, including pretraining, followed by fine-tuning whereby features are adapted to perform the target task, on ImageNet. ImageNet is a large database consisting of 15 million images belonging to 22,000 categories. Images collected from the Web are labeled using Amazon Mechanical Turk crowd-sourcing tool by human labelers. ImageNet is useful for transfer learning because of the sheer volume of its dataset and the number of object classes available. Transfer learning using pretrained models is useful because it helps to build computer vision models in an accurate and inexpensive manner. Models that have been pretrained on substantial datasets are used and repurposed for our requirements. Scene recognition is a widely used application of computer vision in many communities and industries, such as tourism. This study aims to show multilabel scene classification using five architectures, namely, VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, InceptionV3, and Xception using ImageNet weights available in the Keras library. The performance of different architectures is comprehensively compared in the study. Finally, EnsemV3X is presented in this study. The proposed model with reduced number of parameters is superior to state-of-of-the-art models Inception and Xception because it demonstrates an accuracy of 91%.
