This document summarizes a study that used transfer learning and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to classify different rice insect pests from images. The researchers used pre-trained CNN models like AlexNet and VGG16 and fine-tuned them on a dataset of rice insect images. AlexNet achieved the highest classification accuracy of 98%. Transfer learning helped address the classification problem with minimal training requirements compared to training CNNs from scratch. The study aims to help with early detection of insect pests to prevent crop damage.
