CapsNet Comprehension of Objects in Different Rotational Views : A comparative study of capsule and convolutional networks

Sammanfattning: Capsule network (CapsNet) is a new and promising approach to computer vision. In the small amount of research published so far, it has shown to be good at generalizing complex objects and perform well even when the images are skewed or the objects are seen from unfamiliar viewpoints. This thesis further tests this ability of CapsNetby comparing it to convolutional networks (ConvNets) on the task to understand images of clothing in different rotational views. Even though the ConvNets have a higher classification accuracy than CapsNets, the results indicate that CapsNets are better at understanding the clothes when viewed in different rotational views.
