Vegetable Classification Using InceptionV3

Overview

This project focuses on classifying different types of vegetables using the InceptionV3 deep learning model. The dataset contains images of various vegetables, and the model is trained to recognize and categorize them accurately. The workflow includes data preprocessing, augmentation, model training, evaluation, and visualization of results.

Technical Highlights

• Dataset: The dataset is sourced from Kaggle and contains labeled images of 15 vegetable categories.
• Preprocessing: Includes image resizing, augmentation (rotation, zoom, brightness adjustments), and normalization.
• Model: Uses InceptionV3 as a pre-trained model with transfer learning, adding fully connected layers for classification.
• Training: The model is trained using categorical cross-entropy loss and the Adam optimizer with early stopping and checkpointing.
• Evaluation: Metrics like accuracy, loss curves, confusion matrix, and classification reports are used for performance analysis.

Purpose

The primary goal of this project is to develop an efficient deep-learning model for vegetable classification. This helps in automating the process of identifying vegetables from images, reducing human effort and potential errors. The project also explores the effectiveness of transfer learning in image classification tasks.

Applications

• Smart Retail & Inventory Management: Automating vegetable recognition in grocery stores for efficient checkout and stock monitoring.
• Agriculture & Supply Chain: Assisting farmers and suppliers in sorting and classifying vegetables.
• Food Industry: Enhancing food processing automation by categorizing vegetables accurately.
• Educational Use: Providing a practical deep learning example for image classification using TensorFlow and Keras.
