Abstract:

In order to solve the defects of traditional fruit image recognition algorithms in feature extraction and the low recognition accuracy of traditional convolutional neural networks, a parallel convolutional neural network was proposed to extract fruit features. ELU activation function was introduced instead of ReLU activation function in the proposed model. Besides, a combination of maximum class spacing loss function and the traditional SoftmaxWithLoss loss function was designed to improve the recognition accuracy of similar varieties. The data of 8 fruit varieties in Fruit-360 data set was selected in the present study, and enhanced by the boundary equilibrium generative adversarial network (BEGAN) combined with the traditional data augmentation to generate a large number of high-quality data for model training. It was shown that the average recognition accuracy of 8 fruit varieties reached 98.85% and exhibited good recognition effect.

Key words: image recognition, deep learning, boundary equilibrium generative adversarial network, convolution neural network
