Deep Learning Model Based on ResNet-50 for Beef Quality Classification
Food quality measurement is one of the most essential topics in agriculture and industrial fields. To classify healthy food using computer visual inspection, a new architecture was proposed to classify beef images to specify the rancid and healthy ones. In traditional measurements, the specialists are not able to classify such images, due to the huge number of beef images required to build a deep learning model. In the present study, different images of beef including healthy and rancid cases were collected according to the analysis done by the Laboratory of Food Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Kafrelsheikh University in January of 2020. The texture analysis of the beef surface of the enrolled images makes it difficult to distinguish between the rancid and healthy images. Moreover, a deep learning approach based on ResNet-50 was presented as a promising classifier to grade and classify the beef images. In this work, a limited number of images were used to present the research problem of image resource limitation; eight healthy images and ten rancid beef images. This number of images is not sufficient to be retrained using deep learning approaches. Thus, Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) was proposed to augment the enrolled images to produce one hundred eighty images. The results obtained based on ResNet-50 classification achieve accuracy of 96.03%, 91.67%, and 88.89% in the training, testing, and validation phases, respectively. Furthermore, a comparison of the current model (ResNet-50) with the classical and deep learning architecture is made to demonstrate the efficiency of ResNet-50, in image classification
Spatial–Spectral Squeeze-and-Excitation Residual Network for Hyperspectral Image Classification
Jointly using spectral and spatial information has become a mainstream strategy in the field of hyperspectral image (HSI) processing, especially for classification. However, due to the existence of noisy or correlated spectral bands in the spectral domain and inhomogeneous pixels in the spatial neighborhood, HSI classification results are often degraded and unsatisfactory. Motivated by the attention mechanism, this paper proposes a spatial–spectral squeeze-and-excitation (SSSE) module to adaptively learn the weights for different spectral bands and for different neighboring pixels. The SSSE structure can suppress or motivate features at a certain position, which can effectively resist noise interference and improve the classification results. Furthermore, we embed several SSSE modules into a residual network architecture and generate an SSSE-based residual network (SSSERN) model for HSI classification. The proposed SSSERN method is compared with several existing deep learning networks on two benchmark hyperspectral data sets. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed network
A review of technical factors to consider when designing neural networks for semantic segmentation of Earth Observation imagery
Semantic segmentation (classification) of Earth Observation imagery is a
crucial task in remote sensing. This paper presents a comprehensive review of
technical factors to consider when designing neural networks for this purpose.
The review focuses on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural
Networks (RNNs), Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), and transformer
models, discussing prominent design patterns for these ANN families and their
implications for semantic segmentation. Common pre-processing techniques for
ensuring optimal data preparation are also covered. These include methods for
image normalization and chipping, as well as strategies for addressing data
imbalance in training samples, and techniques for overcoming limited data,
including augmentation techniques, transfer learning, and domain adaptation. By
encompassing both the technical aspects of neural network design and the
data-related considerations, this review provides researchers and practitioners
with a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the factors involved in
designing effective neural networks for semantic segmentation of Earth
