train a convolution neural network in matlab

Here are the steps to train a convolution neural network in Matlab for image classification:

  1. Load the image data and assign labels to each image.
main.m
imds = imageDatastore('path/to/image/folder', ...
    'IncludeSubfolders',true, 'LabelSource','foldernames');

  1. Define the convolutional neural network architecture. Specify the layers of the CNN using the CNN layers from MatConvNet.
main.m
layers = [
    imageInputLayer([32 32 3])
    convolution2dLayer(5,20)
    reluLayer
    maxPooling2dLayer(2,'Stride',2)
    fullyConnectedLayer(10)
    softmaxLayer
    classificationLayer];

  1. Set the training options for the trainingOptions function. Specify the mini-batch size, the maximum number of epochs, the learning rate, and the validation data.
main.m
opts = trainingOptions('sgdm', ...
    'MaxEpochs',20, ...
    'InitialLearnRate',0.01, ...
    'LearnRateSchedule','piecewise', ...
    'LearnRateDropFactor',0.1, ...
    'LearnRateDropPeriod',5, ...
    'MiniBatchSize',100, ...
    'ValidationData',imdsValidation, ...
    'ValidationFrequency',30, ...
    'Plots','training-progress');

  1. Train the CNN using the trainNetwork function with the image data, network architecture, and training options.
main.m
net = trainNetwork(imds,layers,opts);
38 chars
2 lines
  1. Use the trained network to classify new images using the classify function.
main.m
im = imread('image.jpg');
label = classify(net,im);

3 lines

Keep in mind that this is just a basic template and the specific architecture and training options will depend on your particular problem and dataset.
