Establishing the Foundation for Out-of-Distribution Detection in Monument Classification Through Nested Dichotomies
摘要
This paper introduces a hierarchical approach utilizing nested dichotomies to enhance the MonuMAI framework designed for architectural image classification. The study focuses on developing a foundational layer dedicated to distinguishing between building and non-building images, effectively reducing complexity by filtering out irrelevant data early in the classification process. Through empirical investigation utilizing a fine-tuned EfficientNet model, the study demonstrates substantial progress in handling out-of-distribution scenarios in monument detection. The model effectively filters out irrelevant images while accurately retaining most monument images, establishing a robust foundation for subsequent layers aimed at improving out-of-distribution detection, and recognizing new architectural styles post-deployment. This study specifically emphasizes the initial layer of our innovative system, setting the stage for future expansion and development of subsequent layers. This research marks a significant stride in mitigating OOD challenges within architectural image classification, highlighting the potential of hierarchical methodologies to propel MonuMAI and analogous systems towards more precise and adaptable AI solutions.
