Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAutomated Terrain Classification with a Bayesian Hyperparameter Optimized Deep Supervised Autoencoder ModelTiny Du Toit, Hennie Kruger, Annette Van Der MerweTerrain classification according to specific terrain attributes, has become increasingly important in certain decision-making scenarios. Automated robots are often utilized to traverse a specific surface to collect data that can be used in classification models to identify a specific terrain. In this study, a supervised autoencoder model (i.e., an autoencoder combined with a supervised learner such as a multilayer perceptron) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 9 · 31 Aug 2023 · 5,019 accessesView PDF Cite
