Textbook in PDF format

In computer vision and machine learning, image classification is an important and fundamental task, which assigns images to one of pre-defined groups based on the content in the images. It has a wide range of applications in various fields, such as medicine, biology, remote-sensing, and engineering. Image classification is also a key component of many other visual tasks, such as object detection, video annotation, and image retrieval. However, image classification is a challenging task due to high variations of background, illumination, viewpoint, scale, deformation, and occlusion across images
