A scene recognition algorithm based on deep residual network

Scene recognition is quite important in the field of robotics and computer vision. Aiming at providing high performance and universality of feature extraction, a convolutional neural network-based scene recognition model entitled Scene-RecNet is proposed. To reduce parameter space and improve the feature quality, deep residual network is introduced as the feature extractor. A feature adjustment layer composed of a convolutional layer and a fully connected layer is added after the feature extractor to further synthesize and compress the extracted features. Migration learning-based ‘pre-training and fine-tuning’ mode is used to train Scene-RecNet. The feature extractor is pre-trained by ImageNet, and the overall network performance is fine-tuned on specific data sets. Experiments show that comparing with other algorithms, the features obtained by Scene-RecNet have high generality and robustness, and Scene-RecNet can provide better scene classification accuracy rate
