Summary: | Image classification is a critical task in the field of computer vision, and its importance has significantly increased over the past few years. Machine learning and deep learning techniques have demonstrated immense potential in this field. However, traditional image classification models require a vast amount of training data, which can be challenging and expensive to obtain. To overcome this limitation, researchers are turning to few-shot learning, which aims to classify images with limited training samples. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the field of image classification using few-shot learning. First, it investigates the use of data augmentation, transfer learning, and meta-learning methods in this field. Then, it introduces several commonly used datasets and evaluation metrics in few-shot classification, compares several classical few-shot classification methods, and summarizes the experimental results obtained from public datasets. Finally, this paper analyzes the current challenges in few-shot image classification and suggests potential future directions. © 2024 Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.
