Abstract

Image Classification has become an important and focused area in computer vision. It is widely used and needed in E-commerce area, social media platforms, robotics, etc. The image classification system is aimed to classify the category of the images by associating labels with the image. Being an important area in machine learning, in recent years, with the deep learning technology developing at a fast pace, the convolutional neural network (CNN) is proven that it has great performance in many image classification tasks. This article will mainly focus on three classic convolutional neural networks applied to the image classification tasks. The three networks are LeNet, AlexNet, and VGG. By summarizing their frameworks and usage in the image classification tasks, the analysis of the performance of the three networks will be given.

Keywords:

Image Classification, CNN, LeNet, AlexNet, VGG, Performance, Analysis.
