Classifying image data is one of the very popular usages of Deep Learning techniques. In this article, we will discuss the identification of flower images using a deep convolutional neural network.
For this, we will be using PyTorch, TorchVision & PIL libraries of Python
The required dataset for this problem can be found at Kaggle. It contains a folder structure & flower images inside it. There are 5 different types of flowers. The folder structure looks like below

Now, we will see a sample of the flower image from folder ‘rose’

PyTorch always expects data in the form… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
