1. 📌 Introduction
Overview of the image classification problem. Dataset description and task objective. Expected outcomes and evaluation strategy.

1.1 Overview of the Image Classification Problem
Image classification is one of the most fundamental tasks in computer vision. It involves training a model to correctly assign an input image to one of several predefined categories. For this project, the goal is to classify animals into 10 distinct classes using deep learning methods.

Real-world applications include:

  • Identifying animal species in wildlife photography.
  • Building smart galleries for researchers.
  • Automating animal recognition in farms and zoos.

1.2 Dataset Description and Task Objective
We use a dataset consisting of ~25,000 images across 10 animal categories: Dog, Cat, Horse, Spider, Butterfly, Chicken, Sheep, Cow, Squirrel, and Elephant.

Task Objective:

  • Train a classification model that can accurately predict the correct animal category for a given input image.
  • Handle data imperfections (some images may be mislabeled or noisy) to simulate real-world scenarios.

1.3 Expected Outcomes
By the end of this project, we expect to:

  • Develop a robust deep learning image classifier.
  • Compare different neural network architectures (e.g., custom CNN vs. transfer learning models like Inception).
  • Achieve high classification accuracy.

1.4 Evaluation Strategy
The model performance will be assessed using:

  • Accuracy: Percentage of correctly classified images.
  • Confusion Matrix: To visualize misclassifications across classes.
  • Loss & Accuracy Curves: To monitor training vs. validation performance.
