Evaluation of the Design of “Shape” and “Meaning” of Book Binding from the Perspective of Deep Learning

Abstract

Book binding is the procedure of manually accumulating a book in codex format from a well-ordered pile of paper sheets, which are folded together into sections or occasionally left as a stack of individual sheets. The books undergo binding into different shapes and sizes. Numerous kinds of book bindings are available, each of which comes with its own merits and demerits. Some of them are highly durable, some of them are light-weight, and some of them are attractive. Therefore, it is needed to effectively identify and classify the shape and type of book bindings. With this motivation, this paper develops a butterfly optimization algorithm with a deep learning-enabled book binding classification (BOADL-BBC) model. The major intention of the BOADL-BBC technique is to identify and categorise three different types of book bindings from the input images, namely, hard binding, soft binding, and long-stitch binding. The proposed BOADL-BBC technique initially employs a DL-based Inception v3 model to derive useful feature vectors from the images. For effective classification of book bindings, the BOA with wavelet kernel extreme learning machine (WKELM) model can be applied. The weight and bias values involved in the WKELM model can be effectively adjusted by the use of BOA for book binding classification shows the novelty of the work. To ensure the enhanced performance of the BOADL-BBC technique, a series of simulations were carried out using a set of images that people collected on their own. The experimental results stated that the BOADL-BBC technique has obtained a maximum book binding classification accuracy of 95.56%.
