• Abstract: This paper presents the development and evaluation of a custom Convolutional Neural Network (CustomCNN) created to study how architectural design choices affect multi-domain image classification tasks. The network uses residual connections, Squeeze-and-Excitation attention mechanisms, progressive channel scaling, and Kaiming initialization to improve its ability to represent data and speed up training. The model is trained and tested on five publicly available datasets: unauthorized vehicle detection, footpath encroachment detection, polygon-annotated road damage and manhole detection, MangoImageBD and PaddyVarietyBD. A comparison with popular CNN architectures shows that the CustomCNN delivers competitive performance while remaining efficient in computation. The results underscore the importance of thoughtful architectural design for real-world Smart City and agricultural imaging applications.

  Image quality assessment (IQA) algorithm aims to quantify the human perception of image quality.

  Current state-of-the-art visual recognition systems rely on pretraining a neural network on a large-scale dataset and finetuning the network weights on a smaller dataset. In this work, we prove that dynamically adapting network architectures tailored for each domain task along with weight finetuning benefits in both efficiency and effectiveness. Our method can be easily generalized to an unsupervised paradigm by replacing supernet training with self-supervised learning in the source domain tasks and performing linear evaluation in the downstream tasks.
