Combining MobileNetV1 and Depthwise Separable convolution bottleneck with Expansion for classifying the freshness of fish eyes

Image classification using Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)achieves optimal perfor-mance with a particular strategy.MobileNet reduces the parameter number for learning features by switching from the standard convolution paradigm to the depthwise separable convolution(DSC)paradigm.However,there are not enough features to learn for identify-ing the freshness of fish eyes.Furthermore,minor variances in features should not require complicated CNN architecture.In this paper,our first contribution proposed DSC Bottle-neck with Expansion for learning features of the freshness of fish eyes with a Bottleneck Multiplier.The second contribution proposed Residual Transition to bridge current feature maps and skip connection feature maps to the next convolution block.The third contribu-tion proposed MobileNetV1 Bottleneck with Expansion(MB-BE)for classifying the freshness of fish eyes.The result obtained from the Freshness of the Fish Eyes dataset shows that MB-BE outperformed other models such as original MobileNet,VGG16,Densenet,Nasnet Mobile with 63.21%accuracy.
