It is one of the most important projects in computer vision and helps apply CNN concepts in real-world scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project Objective<\/strong><br>The goal is to build a model that can take an input image and predict its correct category with high accuracy. For example, classifying images as cats or dogs, cars or bikes, or different types of objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Steps to Build Image Classification Project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.
