13.3 Project 3: Image Classification with Convolutional Neural Networks

In this project, we will develop an image classification model using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Image classification is a common application of Deep Learning, and it involves determining the class of an object present in an image.

13.3.1 Problem Statement

The goal of this project is to build a model that can accurately classify images from the CIFAR-10 dataset. The CIFAR-10 dataset consists of 60,000 32x32 color images in 10 classes, with 6,000 images per class. There are 50,000 training images and 10,000 test images.

13.3.2 Dataset

We will use the CIFAR-10 dataset for this project. This dataset consists of 60,000 32x32 color images in 10 classes, with 6,000 images per class. There are 50,000 training images and 10,000 test images.

13.3.3 Implementation

Let's start by loading the dataset.

from keras.datasets import cifar10

# Load CIFAR-10 dataset
(X_train, y_train), (X_test, y_test) = cifar10.load_data()

Code breakdown:

The code first imports the cifar10 dataset from the keras.datasets library. Next, the code uses the load_data() function to load the dataset. The load_data() function returns two tuples, (X_train, y_train) and (X_test, y_test). The X_train and X_test arrays contain the training and testing data, respectively. The y_train and y_test arrays contain the labels for the training and testing data, respectively. The labels are integers from 0 to 9, where 0 corresponds to the airplane class, 1 corresponds to the automobile class, and so on.


Next, we will preprocess the data by normalizing the pixel values.

# Normalize pixel values to range [0, 1]
X_train = X_train.astype('float32') / 255
X_test = X_test.astype('float32') / 255

Code breakdown:

  • X_train = X_train.astype('float32') converts the training data set to the float32 data type.
  • X_train / 255 divides each pixel value in the training data set by 255.
  • X_test = X_test.astype('float32') converts the test data set to the float32 data type.
  • X_test / 255 divides each pixel value in the test data set by 255.

We will then convert the class labels into one-hot encoded vectors.

from keras.utils import to_categorical

# Convert class labels to one-hot encoded format
y_train = to_categorical(y_train, 10)
y_test = to_categorical(y_test, 10)

Code breakdown:

  • from keras.utils import to_categorical imports the to_categorical function from the Keras library.
  • y_train = to_categorical(y_train, 10) converts the training labels to categorical data with 10 classes.
  • y_test = to_categorical(y_test, 10) converts the test labels to categorical data with 10 classes.

Next, we will define the architecture of the CNN.

from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Conv2D, MaxPooling2D, Flatten, Dense

# Define the model architecture
model = Sequential()

# Add convolutional layers
model.add(Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu', padding='same', input_shape=(32, 32, 3)))
model.add(Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu'))
model.add(MaxPooling2D(pool_size=(2, 2)))
model.add(Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu', padding='same'))
model.add(Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu'))
model.add(MaxPooling2D(pool_size=(2, 2)))

# Flatten the output of the convolutional layers
model.add(Flatten())

# Add fully connected layers
model.add(Dense(512, activation='relu'))
model.add(Dense(10, activation='softmax'))

# Compile the model
model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='categorical_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy'])

Code breakdown:

  • from keras.models import Sequential imports the Sequential class from the Keras library.
  • from keras.layers import Conv2D, MaxPooling2D, Flatten, Dense imports the Conv2DMaxPooling2DFlatten, and Dense classes from the Keras library.
  • model = Sequential() creates a new Sequential model.
  • model.add(Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu', padding='same', input_shape=(32, 32, 3))) adds a convolutional layer with 32 filters, a 3x3 kernel, a ReLU activation function, and SAME padding to the model.
  • model.add(Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu')) adds a second convolutional layer with 32 filters, a 3x3 kernel, and a ReLU activation function to the model.
  • model.add(MaxPooling2D(pool_size=(2, 2))) adds a max pooling layer with a 2x2 window to the model.
  • model.add(Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu', padding='same')) adds a third convolutional layer with 64 filters, a 3x3 kernel, a ReLU activation function, and SAME padding to the model.
  • model.add(Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu')) adds a fourth convolutional layer with 64 filters, a 3x3 kernel, and a ReLU activation function to the model.
  • model.add(MaxPooling2D(pool_size=(2, 2))) adds a second max pooling layer with a 2x2 window to the model.
  • model.add(Flatten()) flattens the output of the previous layers into a 1D vector.
  • model.add(Dense(512, activation='relu')) adds a dense layer with 512 neurons and a ReLU activation function to the model.
  • model.add(Dense(10, activation='softmax')) adds a dense layer with 10 neurons and a softmax activation function to the model.

Finally, we will train the CNN on the training data and evaluate its performance on the testing data.

# Compile the model
model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy'])

# Train the model
model.fit(X_train, y_train, batch_size=32, epochs=10, validation_data=(X_test, y_test))

# Evaluate the model on the test data
score = model.evaluate(X_test, y_test, verbose=0)
print('Test loss:', score[0])
print('Test accuracy:', score[1])

Code breakdown:

  • model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy']) compiles the model using the categorical crossentropy loss function, the Adam optimizer, and the accuracy metric.
  • model.fit(X_train, y_train, batch_size=32, epochs=10, validation_data=(X_test, y_test)) trains the model on the training data set with a batch size of 32 for 10 epochs. The validation data set is used to evaluate the model during training.
  • score = model.evaluate(X_test, y_test, verbose=0) evaluates the model on the test data set without printing any output.
  • print('Test loss:', score[0]) prints the loss of the model on the test data set.
  • print('Test accuracy:', score[1]) prints the accuracy of the model on the test data set.

This project provides a practical application of deep learning in the field of image classification. It demonstrates how to use CNNs to classify images from the CIFAR-10 dataset. The code provided can be used as a starting point for further exploration and experimentation.

Chapter 13 Conclusion

In this chapter, we embarked on a journey through three practical machine learning projects, each illustrating the application of different machine learning techniques. Our journey began with a regression problem where we predicted house prices, a common task in the real estate industry. We then transitioned to a classic text classification problem, sentiment analysis, using the Naive Bayes algorithm. Lastly, we ventured into the realm of deep learning with a project on image classification using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).

Each project was accompanied by Python code, providing a hands-on approach to understanding these concepts. These projects not only serve as a demonstration of the techniques discussed in the previous chapters but also provide a foundation for developing more complex machine learning models.

As we move forward, remember that the key to mastering machine learning is practice and experimentation. Don't hesitate to modify the code, try different algorithms, tweak the parameters, and see how these changes affect the model's performance.

This chapter has been a testament to the power and versatility of machine learning. Whether it's predicting house prices, analyzing sentiment, or classifying images, machine learning has a wide range of applications. We hope that these projects have inspired you to explore further and create your own machine learning projects.

Finally, we will train the CNN on the training data and evaluate its performance on the testing data.

# Compile the model
model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy'])

# Train the model
model.fit(X_train, y_train, batch_size=32, epochs=10, validation_data=(X_test, y_test))

# Evaluate the model on the test data
score = model.evaluate(X_test, y_test, verbose=0)
print('Test loss:', score[0])
print('Test accuracy:', score[1])

Code breakdown:

  • model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy']) compiles the model using the categorical crossentropy loss function, the Adam optimizer, and the accuracy metric.
  • model.fit(X_train, y_train, batch_size=32, epochs=10, validation_data=(X_test, y_test)) trains the model on the training data set with a batch size of 32 for 10 epochs. The validation data set is used to evaluate the model during training.
  • score = model.evaluate(X_test, y_test, verbose=0) evaluates the model on the test data set without printing any output.
  • print('Test loss:', score[0]) prints the loss of the model on the test data set.
  • print('Test accuracy:', score[1]) prints the accuracy of the model on the test data set.

Chapter 13 Conclusion

In this chapter, we embarked on a journey through three practical machine learning projects, each illustrating the application of different machine learning techniques. Our journey began with a regression problem where we predicted house prices, a common task in the real estate industry. We then transitioned to a classic text classification problem, sentiment analysis, using the Naive Bayes algorithm. Lastly, we ventured into the realm of deep learning with a project on image classification using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).

Each project was accompanied by Python code, providing a hands-on approach to understanding these concepts. These projects not only serve as a demonstration of the techniques discussed in the previous chapters but also provide a foundation for developing more complex machine learning models.

As we move forward, remember that the key to mastering machine learning is practice and experimentation. Don't hesitate to modify the code, try different algorithms, tweak the parameters, and see how these changes affect the model's performance.

This chapter has been a testament to the power and versatility of machine learning. Whether it's predicting house prices, analyzing sentiment, or classifying images, machine learning has a wide range of applications. We hope that these projects have inspired you to explore further and create your own machine learning projects.
