Deep Neural Networks for Heritage Monuments Classification: A Case Study in Nepal
摘要
Nepal is a country with a rich cultural and historical heritage, particularly in its city of Patan. The city boasts a vast array of historical structures, each with its own unique story and historical significance. Determining which CNN model performs best on Nepali historic monuments is challenging. Hence, four models named MobileNetV2, ResNet152V2, Xception, and InceptionV3 were compared. By contrasting all of the model outputs, a comparative study of all the models has been conducted. To train the models, over 11,000 images of 20 different classes, each representing a different heritage site within the Patan Durbar square, were used. Through repeated hyperparameter training and testing, the study found that InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, Resnet152V2, and Xception all obtained high accuracy ratings of 85%, 95%, 96%, and 95%, respectively.
