Dog Breed Identification Using Convolutional Neural Networks

Image classification is one of the classical problems of Computer Vision, and with the advent of deep convolutional neural networks, more and more fine-grained classification problems are being addressed every day. In the presented work, we try to train a deep neural network to distinguish between dog breeds based on their photographs. We also try to isolate the exact image features that uniquely identify each dog breed and gain some insight on how the classification method of a computer compares with that of a human
