Based on the code from: https://gogul09.github.io/software/flower-recognition-deep-learning

Script to extract CNN deep features with different ConvNets, and then use them for an Image Classification task with a SVM classifier with lineal kernel over the following small datasets: Soccer [1], Birds [2], 17flowers [3], ImageNet-6Weapons[4] and ImageNet-7Arthropods[4].

Use the VGG16 extracted features or MobileNet into an SVM classifier. Allows to compare the difference between the use of full images or filtered with AutoBlur method

Together with the code, it has been provided the Soccer dataset, so it can be tested easily:

• Soccer: original images
• SoccerAutoBlurBB: original images after apply AutoBlur filtering technique and cropped them with the corresponding Bounding Box
