Wild Edible Plant Classifier
This repository focuses on a Wild Edible Plant Classifier that compares the performance of three state-of-the-art CNN architectures: MobileNet v2, GoogLeNet, and ResNet-34. The artefact created is part of my BSc dissertation, aimed at classifying 35 classes of wild edible plants using Transfer Learning.
Dataset
Figure 1. The 35 Wild Edible Plant classes used in the project.
The classes of wild edible plants used are listed in table 1, accompanied by the number of images (per class) within the dataset. The dataset created, comprised of Flickr images, is obtained through their API using the rudimentary scripts within the \data_gathering folder. The dataset can be found on Kaggle here and contains 16,535 images, where the quantity of images per class varies from 400 to 500.
The project is divided into three Jupyter Notebooks. The first one contains a sample of the plant classes to visualise them, stored within a zip file found inside the dataset folder, and covers steps 4 to 6 in the Machine Learning Pipeline diagram (figure 2). The second notebook focuses on the tuning of the CNN models, and the third and final notebook visualises their results.

As mentioned earlier, the \data_gathering folder outlines scripts that were used to gather and prepare the Flickr image data (2, 3 in ML pipeline). The \functions folder holds the classes and functions used to perform all the functionality of the artefact. This covers all the remaining parts of the pipeline (4 -> 7).
The artefact code is run within three Jupyter Notebooks - 1. wep_classifier_initial.ipynb (steps 4 -> 6), 2. wep_classifier_tuning.ipynb (step 7), and 3. visualise_results.ipynb (step 6 for step 7).
