Dog breed classification is really challenging due to the minimal inter-class variations. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model can be used for this task. Due to the existence of a huge variety of species and organisms, research on technology to classify them is crucial. Hsu, David from Stanford University published a paper about using convolutional neural networks (CNN) to classify dog breeds.

The aim of the project is to build a pipeline to process real-world, user-supplied images. A CNN will be used to predict the breed of a dog from the input image. Given an image of a dog, the model will identify an estimate of the canine’s breed. If supplied an image of a human, it will identify the resembling dog breed.
