Mushroom Classification Based on Deep Residual Network

Due to the similarity in mushroom features and the difficulty in distinguishing between poisonous and nonpoisonous varieties, mushrooms pose a threat to human health. To address the challenge of mushroom classification and identification, this paper proposes a mushroom classification method based on residual networks. Firstly, a network architecture with multiple residual blocks is designed, and it is trained using an image dataset. Then, a transfer learning strategy is employed to initialize the network parameters from a pre-trained model, followed by fine-tuning to adapt to the mushroom classification task. Finally, multiple testing experiments are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate excellent performance of the proposed method in mushroom classification tasks. Compared to traditional feature extraction methods, it can better capture the details and texture features of mushrooms, thereby improving classification accuracy. In conclusion, the mushroom classification method based on residual networks exhibits high accuracy and generalization capability. This method has potential applications in the field of mushroom classification, aiding in the better identification and differentiation of poisonous mushrooms, thereby protecting human health.
