Description:
This paper addresses the classification of images depicting the eruptive activity of Mount
Etna, captured by a network of ground-based thermal cameras. The proposed approach utilizes
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), focusing on pretrained models. Eight popular pretrained
neural networks underwent systematic evaluation, revealing their effectiveness in addressing the
classification problem. The experimental results demonstrated that, following a retraining phase
with a limited dataset, specific networks such as VGG-16 and AlexNet, achieved an impressive
total accuracy of approximately 90%. Notably, VGG-16 and AlexNet emerged as practical choices,
exhibiting individual class accuracies exceeding 90%. The case study emphasized the pivotal role
of transfer learning, as attempts to solve the classification problem without pretrained networks
resulted in unsatisfactory outcomes.
