Transfer Learning-Based Method for Classifying Yoga Poses Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

Yoga is a popular practice that aims to improve one's health and well-being through physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation. The growing popularity of yoga has prompted researchers to focus on automating the process of classifying yoga poses. Using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transfer learning, we present a deep learning-based method for correctly categorizing yoga postures in this research. The primary goal of this study is to develop an efficient method for automatically recognizing and categorizing yoga poses in given photographs. The impressive success of deep CNNs in picture classification tasks is exploited here to accomplish this goal. We also use transfer learning, a method for customizing pre-trained CNN models for our unique yoga posture categorization task. This paper presents a Transfer Learning based Method for Yoga Poses classification using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (TLMYPC-DCNN). The proposed model uses the Yoga Posture Dataset for classification of images. Initially, this model starts with pre-processing the input images by splitting input data into three groups such as training set, validation set and test data. The deep learning CNN model will be trained using the training data, and then its parameters will be tweaked using the validation data. Finally, the test data will be used to assess how well the data performs. A convolutional neural network (CNN) model called MobileNetV2 will be applied to the model photos. The experimental results show that the suggested TLMYPC-DCNN based technique with transfer learning is effective at accurately and reliably classifying yoga poses.
