New architecture tackles rare animal image classification with adaptive DCT and hybrid backbones

A research paper introduces a novel deep-learning architecture designed to improve image classification accuracy for rare animal species, where data is inherently scarce. The proposed hybrid framework combines an adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) preprocessing module with Vision Transformer (ViT-B16) and ResNet50 backbones. This approach leverages frequency-domain cues and spatial representations, integrating them through a cross-level fusion strategy before classification. AI
