Abstract
This project explores the implementation of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for
image classification using Google Colab. It includes dataset loading, preprocessing, model
training, and evaluation. The model is built using TensorFlow and Keras libraries and
trained on a sample image dataset. This report presents the architecture of the model,
experimental results, and potential improvements for future work.

1. Introduction
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a class of deep learning models widely used for
image classification tasks. In this project, we demonstrate a simple CNN implementation on
Google Colab using Python, TensorFlow, and Keras.
2. Proposed Methodology
The methodology includes dataset loading, preprocessing, model building, training, and
evaluation.
a. Datasets
We used a publicly available image dataset loaded via TensorFlow/Keras API or manual
upload on Colab.
b. Preprocessing
Images were resized, normalized, and split into training and testing sets.
c. Model Architecture
A basic CNN model with Conv2D, MaxPooling2D, Flatten, Dense, and Dropout layers was
constructed.
The model was trained using categorical crossentropy loss and Adam optimizer. Accuracy
and loss graphs were plotted.
3. Result & Discussion
The model achieved satisfactory accuracy on the test set. Training and validation curves
indicate stable learning. Further tuning and larger datasets can improve performance.
