What is cats_vs_dogs?
cats_vs_dogs is a specialized computer vision model that leverages the power of VGG16 architecture through transfer learning to perform binary classification between cats and dogs. Built by carlosaguayo, this model demonstrates the effective application of transfer learning by fine-tuning a pre-trained VGG16 model for a specific use case.
Implementation Details
The model processes images by resizing them to 150x150 pixels and normalizing pixel values to the range [0,1]. It utilizes the robust feature extraction capabilities of VGG16 while being optimized for the specific task of cat/dog classification.
- Pre-processing includes image resizing and normalization
- Built on pre-trained VGG16 architecture
- Output provides confidence scores for classification
Core Capabilities
- Binary classification between cats and dogs
- Processes RGB images of any size (automatically resized)
- Returns confidence scores for predictions
- Simple integration with popular Python libraries
