Nowadays, many different tools can be used to classify images, each of which is aimed at solving a certain range of tasks. This article provides a brief overview of libraries and technologies for image classification. The architecture of a simple convolutional neural network for image classification is built. Image recognition experiments have been conducted with popular neural networks such as VGG 16 and ResNet 50. Both neural networks have shown good results. However, ResNet 50 overfitted due to the fact that the dataset contained the same type of images for training, since this neural network has more layers that allow reading the attributes of objects in the images. A comparative analysis of image recognition specially prepared for this experiment was carried out with the trained models.
