Book excerpt: In this book, implement deep learning-based image classification on classifying monkey species, recognizing rock, paper, and scissor, and classify airplane, car, and ship using TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-Learn, OpenCV, Pandas, NumPy and other libraries. In chapter 1, you will learn how to use TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-Learn, OpenCV, Pandas, NumPy and other libraries to perform how to classify monkey species using 10 Monkey Species dataset provided by Kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/slothkong/10-monkey-species/download). Here's an overview of the steps involved in classifying monkey species using the 10 Monkey Species dataset: Dataset Preparation: Download the 10 Monkey Species dataset from Kaggle and extract the files. The dataset should consist of separate folders for each monkey species, with corresponding images.; Load and Preprocess Images: Use libraries such as OpenCV to load the images from the dataset. Resize the images to a consistent size (e.g., 224x224 pixels) to ensure uniformity.; Split the Dataset: Divide the dataset into training and testing sets. Typically, an 80:20 or 70:30 split is used, where the larger portion is used for training and the smaller portion for testing the model's performance.; Label Encoding: Encode the categorical labels (monkey species) into numeric form. This step is necessary to train a machine learning model, as most algorithms expect numerical inputs.; Feature Extraction: Extract meaningful features from the images using techniques like deep learning or image processing algorithms. This step helps in representing the images in a format that the machine learning model can understand.; Model Training: Use libraries like TensorFlow and Keras to train a machine learning model on the preprocessed data. Choose an appropriate model architecture, in this case, MobileNetV2.; Model Evaluation: Evaluate the trained model on the testing set to assess its performance. Metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score can be used to evaluate the model's classification performance.; Predictions: Use the trained model to make predictions on new, unseen images. Pass the images through the trained model and obtain the predicted labels for the monkey species. In chapter 2, you will learn how to use TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-Learn, OpenCV, Pandas, NumPy and other libraries to perform how to recognize rock, paper, and scissor using dataset provided by Kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/sanikamal/rock-paper-scissors-dataset/download). Here's the outline of the steps: Step 1: Dataset Preparation: Download the rock-paper-scissors dataset from Kaggle by visiting the provided link and clicking on the "Download" button. Save the dataset to a local directory on your machine. Extract the downloaded dataset to a suitable location. This will create a folder containing the images for rock, paper, and scissors.; Step 2: Data Preprocessing: Import the required libraries: TensorFlow, Keras, NumPy, OpenCV, and Pandas. Load the dataset using OpenCV: Iterate through the image files in the dataset directory and use OpenCV's cv2.imread() function to load each image. You can specify the image's file extension (e.g., PNG) and directory path. Preprocess the images: Resize the loaded images to a consistent size using OpenCV's cv2.resize() function. You may choose a specific width and height suitable for your model. Prepare the labels: Create a list or array to store the corresponding labels for each image (rock, paper, or scissors). This can be done based on the file naming convention or by mapping images to their respective labels using a dictionary.; Step 3: Model Training: Create a convolutional neural network (CNN) model using Keras: Define a CNN architecture using Keras' Sequential model or functional API. This typically consists of convolutional layers, pooling layers, and dense layers. Compile the model: Specify the loss function (e.g., categorical cross-entropy) and optimizer (e.g., Adam) using Keras' compile() function. You can also define additional metrics to evaluate the model's performance. Train the model: Use Keras' fit() function to train the model on the preprocessed dataset. Specify the training data, labels, batch size, number of epochs, and validation data if available. This will optimize the model's weights based on the provided dataset. Save the trained model: Once the model training is complete, you can save the trained model to disk using Keras' save() or save_weights() function. This allows you to load the model later for predictions or further training.; Step 4: Model Evaluation: Evaluate the trained model: Use Keras' evaluate() function to assess the model's performance on a separate testing dataset. Provide the testing data and labels to calculate metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. This will help you understand how well the model generalizes to new, unseen data. Analyze the model's performance: Interpret the evaluation metrics and analyze any potential areas of improvement. You can also visualize the confusion matrix or classification report to gain more insights into the model's predictions.; Step 5: Prediction: Use the trained model for predictions: Load the saved model using Keras' load_model() function. Then, pass new, unseen images through the model to obtain predictions. Preprocess these images in the same way as the training images (resize, normalize, etc.). Visualize and interpret predictions: Display the predicted labels alongside the corresponding images to see how well the model performs. You can use libraries like Matplotlib or OpenCV to show the images and their predicted labels. Additionally, you can calculate the accuracy of the model's predictions on the new dataset. In chapter 3, you will learn how to use TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-Learn, OpenCV, Pandas, NumPy and other libraries to perform how to classify airplane, car, and ship using Multiclass-image-dataset-airplane-car-ship dataset provided by Kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/abtabm/multiclassimagedatasetairplanecar). Here are the outline steps: Import the required libraries: TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-Learn, OpenCV, Pandas, NumPy. Load and preprocess the dataset: Read the images from the dataset folder. Resize the images to a fixed size. Store the images and corresponding labels.; Split the dataset into training and testing sets: Split the data and labels into training and testing sets using a specified ratio.; Encode the labels: Convert the categorical labels into numerical format. Perform one-hot encoding on the labels.; Build MobileNetV2 model using Keras: Create a sequential model. Add convolutional layers with activation functions. Add pooling layers for downsampling. Flatten the output and add dense layers. Set the output layer with softmax activation.; Compile and train the model: Compile the model with an optimizer and loss function. Train the model using the training data and labels. Specify the number of epochs and batch size.; Evaluate the model: Evaluate the trained model using the testing data and labels. Calculate the accuracy of the model.; Make predictions on new images: Load and preprocess a new image. Use the trained model to predict the label of the new image. Convert the predicted label from numerical format to categorical.
