AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION OF AUTOMOBILES USING MACHINE LEARNING

Abstract

In this work, we perform the automatic classification of 1,000 images of five different models of automobiles. To obtain the highest precision, we have used two different classification scenarios, three algorithms, and five metrics. Also, we assume that the results can be improved by extracting the image characteristics using descriptors and using them as input. Then, we used two descriptors: a histogram of oriented gradient and a convolutional neural network ResNet-50. Our results show that the descriptors improve the classification results and obtain the highest value for the accuracy metric of 88.01 % using the ResNet-50 as a descriptor, the Training and Test Set as a scenario, and Vector Support Machine as the classification algorithm.
