CNN-Based Pet Image Classification: A Deep Learning Approach with Orange
Keywords:
Image Classification, CNN, Orange, Dogs, cats, Machine LearningAbstract
Image classification is a key task in computer vision, with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) excelling at recognizing complex patterns. This study focuses on the binary classification of cat and dog images using Orange Data Mining, a visual programming platform that enables machine learning without coding. A balanced dataset of 1,000 labeled images (500 cats, 500 dogs) from Kaggle was used. Images were embedded into feature vectors using a pretrained ResNet50 model, then classified using two models: a Neural Network (CNN-based) and Naive Bayes. The performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and a confusion matrix. The CNN model achieved 98% accuracy, with 99.18% precision, 96.80% recall, and an F1-score of approximately 97.9%. Only 20 images were misclassified, indicating strong generalization and low bias. These results confirm the effectiveness of CNNs for pet image classification and demonstrate the value of using pretrained embeddings like ResNet50. The study also highlights Orange’s suitability for deep learning by offering an accessible, low-code environment. This approach is ideal for educational use, prototyping, or real-world applications such as pet recognition and smart surveillance. The findings support broader use of visual programming tools in democratizing AI development.
