Scene Classification Using Deep Learning

A scene classification solution using a subset of the MIT Places dataset and a pretrained model, Places365GoogLeNet.

The main goal of this example is to demonstrate the use of the MATLAB functionality for scene classification solution using a subset of the MIT Places dataset and a pretrained model, Places365GoogLeNet.

The code is structured in four parts:
- In "Part 1", we build a simple CNN from scratch, train it, and evaluate it.
- In "Part 2", we use a pretrained model, Places365GoogLeNet, "as is".
- In "Part 3", we follow a transfer learning approach that demonstrates some of the latest features and best practices for image classification using transfer learning in MATLAB.
- Finally, in "Part 4", we employ image data augmentation techniques to see whether they lead to improved results.

This example should be easy to modify and expand to the user's needs.
