Evaluation of Pre-Trained Convolutional Neural Network Models for Object Recognition
This paper aims to evaluate the accuracy performance of pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models, namely AlexNet and GoogLeNet accompanied by one custom CNN. AlexNet and GoogLeNet have been proven for their good capabilities as these network models had entered ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC) and produce relatively good results. The evaluation results in this research are based on the accuracy, loss and time taken of the training and validation processes. The dataset used is Caltech101 by California Institute of Technology (Caltech) that contains 101 object categories. The result reveals that custom CNN architecture produces 91.05% accuracy whereas AlexNet and GoogLeNet achieve similar accuracy which is 99.65%. GoogLeNet consistency arrives at an early training stage and provides minimum error function compared to the other two models.
