## 📋 Model Details
| Property | Details |
| ------------ | ----------------------- |
| Task | Image Classification |
| Domain | Wildlife / Conservation |
| Approach | Transfer Learning |
| Architecture | CNN |
| Framework | TensorFlow / Keras |
| Input | Elephant Image |
| Output | Elephant Species |
## 🔬 Methodology
1. Collect and organize elephant images.
2. Resize and preprocess images.
3. Apply data augmentation.
4. Use a pretrained CNN for feature extraction.
5. Fine-tune the classification layers.
6. Evaluate model performance.
7. Save the trained model.
8. Deploy the model for inference.
## 💻 Run Locally
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mdzaheerjk/Elephant-Species-Classification-using-Deep-Learning-and-Transfer-Learning.git
cd Elephant-Species-Classification-using-Deep-Learning-and-Transfer-Learning
pip install -r requirements.txt
streamlit run app.py
```
## 🌐 Deployment
The trained model can be integrated into a **Streamlit application** for interactive image classification and deployed as a web application.
## 🛠️ Tech Stack
**Python • TensorFlow • Keras • OpenCV • NumPy • Pandas • Matplotlib • Streamlit**
## ⚠️ Limitations
Model performance can vary depending on:
* Image quality
* Lighting and background conditions
* Camera differences
* Dataset size and diversity
* Species representation
* Similarity between species
* Differences between training and real-world images
Further evaluation on diverse wildlife imagery is recommended before production use.
## 🔮 Future Improvements
