Abstract

Image classification is one of the basic applications of computer vision where several deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) have been able to achieve state of the art results. In this paper, we explore the efficacious effect of color space transformations on image classification. After empirically establishing that color space transforms indeed affects the accuracy of the classification in DCNN, we propose NovemE, an ensemble-based model made up of nine (novem) base learners. We use transfer learning with significantly reduced training time and improved accuracy of classification. This model integrates different color spaces and DCNNs in order to achieve a higher accuracy in classifying the given data. We experimented with CINIC10 and Street View House Number (SVHN) datasets and were successful in achieving significant improvement on the current state of the art results on these datasets.
