09. LeNet for Traffic Signs

Data

Note that the video directs you to download the data. However, the Traffic Sign Classifier Project workspace comes pre-configured with the required data.

Strategies to Improve Your Classification Model

Looking at where to go next what could you do to further improve this model? There are several broad categories, to try.

• experiment with different network architectures, or just change the dimensions of the LeNet layers
• add regularization features like drop out or L2 regularization to make sure the network doesn't overfit the training data
• tune the hyperparameters
• improve the data pre-processing with steps like normalization and setting a zero mean
• augment the training data by rotating or shifting images or by changing colors

There are a lot of fun experiments you can run on this network so give it a shot and see how well you can do. Good luck.
