Abstract

This study presents a very new and innovative approach to classify the elephants using a deep learning framework [2] which is built on transfer learning and data augmentation techniques. By using the features of MobileNetV2 as the base model, followed by different layers, the model achieved a high accuracy in classifying between images of elephants and other objects. This paper explains in detail about the end-to-end process, including dataset preparation, pre-processing, model architecture, and evaluation metrics. The results indicated the effectiveness of the proposed model in obtaining a high classification accuracy with a robust generalization across the training and validation datasets.
