I was wondering if having images with watermarks in the training set when training a CNN (MobileNetv2) will affect its accuracy. Would simply removing them from the set be a better thing to do? Thank you!

I am currently working on fingers-count deep learning problem. When you look at the dataset, images in the training and validation set are very basic and are almost the same. The network can achieve high training and validation accuracies. But when it comes to prediction in real-life images, it performs very badly(this is because the model has been trained on very basic images).
To overcome this, I converted the training and validation images to HSV(Hue-Saturation-Value) and trained the model on new HSV images. Example of 1 such image from new training set is:
I then convert my image from real life to HSV and pass it to model for prediction. But still, the model is not able to predict correctly. I assumed that since the training images and predicting image are almost same after applying HSV, the model should be predicting good. Is there something which I am thinking incorrectly here? Can HSV images be actually used for training CNN?
It seems you have the overfitting issue, and your model only memorize the simple samples of the training set and in contrast it can not generalize to more complex and diverse data.
In the context of Deep Learning there are various methods to avoid overfitting and I think you don't need to transform your input to HSV necessarily. First of all you can apply various data augmentation methods like random crop or rotation to create various versions of your data. If this method does not work, you can use a smaller model or applying techniques such as Drop Out or Regularization.
Here is a good tutorial from TensorFlow.
I am training a CNN model(made using Keras). Input image data has around 10200 images. There are 120 classes to be classified. Plotting the data frequency, I can see that sample data for every class is more or less uniform in terms of distribution.
Problem I am facing is loss plot for training data goes down with epochs but for validation data it first falls and then goes on increasing. Accuracy plot reflects this. Accuracy for training data finally settles down at .94 but for validation data its around 0.08.
Basically its case of over fitting.
I am using learning rate of 0.005 and dropout of .25.
What measures can I take to get better accuracy for validation? Is it possible that sample size for each class is too small and I may need data augmentation to have more data points?
Hard to say what could be the reason. First you can try classical regularization techniques like reducing the size of your model, adding dropout or l2/l1-regularizers to the layers. But this is more like randomly guessing the models hyperparameters and hoping for the best.
The scientific approach would be to look at the outputs for your model and try to understand why it produces these outputs and obviously checking your pipeline. Did you had a look at the outputs (are they all the same)? Did you preprocess the validation data the same way as the training data? Did you made a stratified train/test-split, i.e. keeping the class distribution the same in both sets? Is the data shuffles when you feed it to your model?
In the end you have about ~85 images per class which is really not a lot, compare CIFAR-10 resp. CIFAR-100 with 6000/600 images per class or ImageNet with 20k classes and 14M images (~500 images per class). So data augmentation could be beneficial as well.
Can I train the object detection model with large images size 1600*1216 and obtain good accuracy . Thanks
Yes, you can train the object detection model with large images size 1600*1216 and obtain good accuracy.
I have a model pretrained on ImageNet like this:
from keras.applications import resnet50
model = resnet50.ResNet50(weights='imagenet')
Is there any way to get test ImageNet dataset and their labels (which means data not used for training the above model)?
Original
Sadly ImageNet (from ILSVRC2012) never released the labels for the 100k images in the test dataset. You can use instead the 50k images from the Validation dataset, whose labels can be found in the Develpoment Kit (tasks 1 and 2).
You can download both the Validation images and the validation labels from http://www.image-net.org/challenges/LSVRC/2012/downloads
Updated!
There is an ImageNet Test set with 100k images available here, and although you cannot access the labels, you can instead predict the labels for all the images and submit your predictions for evaluation (top1, top5) here.
You can load a model with weights=None and download imagenet dataset.You can then split the dataset into train-test, train your model with train set and use test set for your purpose
I have implemented character recognition using a library
but I still don't get how SVM theory works in training and prediction process, I just understand SVM is only finding the hyperplane
E.g., suppose I have a training image as follows
image from google, number zero
How do we find hyperplane for each training data like above?
How is the prediction process is done?
How can the SVM classify the data based on those hyperplane?
Thank you very much if you can help me
You can use opencv and python.Opencv has implemented svm and you can use it by function call.
SVM is machine leraning model for data classification.We can use SVM to classify images.the steps are
you must have a training dataset(a dataset of images whose labels are known)
Extract features [features are color,shape,hog,surf,sift etc..] from that images and store that,also store the assosiated labels
then train svm using these datas
Now you can use svm to predict labels of unkonwn images
this link will help you
First, It is a non linear separable problem you have to implement kernel SVM which projects them into higher dimensional space where it becomes linearly separable. You can use sklearn library to achieve the above.
