Abstract
The use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in image classification has become the standard method of approaching computer vision problems. Here we apply pre-trained networks to classify images of non-breaking, plunging and spilling breaking waves. The CNNs are used as basic feature extractors and a classifier is then trained on top of these networks. The dynamic nature of breaking waves is exploited by using image sequences to gain extra information and improve the classification results. We also see improved classification performance in using pre-computed image features such as the optical flow between image pairs. The inclusion of the dynamic information improves the classification between breaking wave classes. We also provide corrections to the methodology from the article from which the data originates to achieve a more accurate assessment of performance.
