A Comparison of Traditional Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Image Recognition

The growth of the mobile Internet, smartphones and social networks has brought in huge amounts of picture information, and traditional manual identification is not able to meet the demand well enough. Therefore, the automatical image recognition [1] has been proposed which can help us recognize the image efficiently and get the corresponding information. Although traditional machine learning methods [2] have already been widely used in the field of image recognition, most of these methods are designed to handle one-dimensional vector information. Thus, we should first stretch image matrix to one-dimensional vector or extract features from images to employ traditional image recognition methods, which would lose the adjacent information in images and miss some important features. With the development of computer technology, deep learning [3] is gradually applied to the field of image recognition. It can deal with two-dimensional image data naturally and extract features automatically. Compared with the traditional machine learning methods, deep learning is popular for its good learning ability and low generalization error. In this paper, we compare the differences between SVM [4] and deep learning on image recognition, with an application to handwritten digital images recognition. The results show that the deep learning method is more accurate and more stable in image recognition.

Development of a Mushroom Growth Measurement System Applying Deep Learning for Image Recognition

In Taiwan, mushrooms are an agricultural product with high nutritional value and economic benefit. However, global warming and climate change have affected plant quality. As a result, technological greenhouses are replacing traditional tin houses as locations for mushroom planting. These greenhouses feature several complex parameters. If we can reduce the complexity such greenhouses and improve the efficiency of their production management using intelligent schemes, technological greenhouses could become the expert assistants of farmers. In this paper, the main goal of the developed system is to measure the mushroom size and to count the amount of mushrooms. According to the results of each measurement, the growth rate of the mushrooms can be estimated. The proposed system also records the data of the mushrooms and broadcasts them to the mobile phone of the farmer. This improves the effectiveness of the production management. The proposed system is based on the convolutional neural network of deep learning, which is used to localize the mushrooms in the image. A positioning correction method is also proposed to modify the localization result. The experiments show that the proposed system has a good performance concerning the image measurement of mushrooms.

Is Deep Learning for Image Recognition Applicable to Stock Market Prediction?

Stock market prediction is a challenging issue for investors. In this paper, we propose a stock price prediction model based on convolutional neural network (CNN) to validate the applicability of new learning methods in stock markets. When applying CNN, 9 technical indicators were chosen as predictors of the forecasting model, and the technical indicators were converted to images of the time series graph. For verifying the usefulness of deep learning for image recognition in stock markets, the predictive accuracies of the proposed model were compared to typical artificial neural network (ANN) model and support vector machine (SVM) model. From the experimental results, we can see that CNN can be a desirable choice for building stock prediction models. To examine the performance of the proposed method, an empirical study was performed using the S&P 500 index. This study addresses two critical issues regarding the use of CNN for stock price prediction: how to use CNN and how to optimize them.

Deep sketch feature for cross-domain image retrieval

Deep learning has been proven to be very effective for various image recognition tasks, e.g., image classification, semantic segmentation, image retrieval, shape classification, etc. However, existing works on deep learning for image recognition mainly focus on either natural image data or binary shape data. In this paper, we show that deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) is also suitable for cross-domain image recognition, i.e., using sketch as query to retrieve natural images in a large dataset. To solve this kind of cross-domain problem, we propose to train CNN jointly using image data and sketch data in a novel way. The learned deep feature is effective for cross-domain image retrieval – using simple Euclidean distance on the learned feature can significantly outperform the previous state-of-the-arts. In addition, we find that pre-training and a feasible data-argumentation for DCNN can largely surpass human-level performance in the standard sketch classification benchmark.
