Pre-trained image classification models have revolutionized the field by offering efficient and accurate solutions that save time and resources. Models such as ResNet, Inception, EfficientNet, VGG, MobileNet, DenseNet, NASNet, Xception, AlexNet, and Vision Transformers have set standards for accuracy and efficiency in image classification tasks. These models can be used for various applications including general image classification, object detection, feature extraction, and transfer learning, thanks to their ability to capture patterns and features from large datasets. While pre-trained models offer significant advantages, it's essential to understand both their strengths and limitations to use them effectively in real-world applications.
