Brightness helps CNN classify a subset of the images from Google Quick Draw

Serena F.

We made a CNN that learned to recognize and classify sketches from Google’s Quick Draw dataset and implemented a novel brightness feature to test if it increased the accuracy.


We made a CNN that learned to recognize and classify sketches from Google’s Quick Draw dataset and implemented a novel brightness feature to test if it increased the accuracy. The results displayed up to a 4% increase in validation accuracy. To conduct experiments, we created 3 models, 1 with brightness and two without. In addition, we used different numbers of epochs, metalayers, kernels, and sizes of kernels and dropouts.

Landfill Net: A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Architecture for the Detection of Landfills from Satellite Imagery in the Continental United States

This project presents a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model that identifies landfills in the U.S. using image data, achieving a 97.1% test accuracy. By supporting the creation of a national landfill database, the model can help detect illegal sites and guide the expansion of methane capture systems to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
