Image Classification using Single Class Dataset using Transfer Learning

I only have around 1000 images of vehicle. I need to train a model that can identify if the image is vehicle or not-vehicle. I do not have a dataset for not-vehicle, as it could be anything besides vehicle.

I guess the best method for this would be to apply transfer learning. I am trying to train data on a pre-trained VGG19 Model. But still, I am unaware on how to train a model with just vehicle images without any non-vehicle images. I am not being able to classify it.

I am new to ML Overall, Any solution based on practical implementation will be highly appreciated.

You can try using pretrained model and take the output. You might need to apply dimensionality reduction e.g. PCA, to get a more managable size input. After that you can train novelty detection model to identify whether the output is different than your training set.

Refer to this example: https://github.com/J-Yash/Hotdog-Not-Hotdog

Hope this helps.

You are right about transfer learning approach. Have a look a this article, it is exactly about going from multi-class to binary classification with transfer learning - https://medium.com/@mandygu/seefood-creating-a-binary-classifier-using-transfer-learning-da751db7cf9c

This is a binary classification problem: whether the input is a vehicle or not.

If you are new to ML, I would suggest you should start implementing basic binary classifiers like Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines before jumping to Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). I am providing some links for the binary classification problem implementations using different algorithms. I hope this would help.
