Potential Business Impact:

Makes smart cameras work well everywhere, even with less power.

Business Areas:
Image Recognition Data and Analytics, Software

Our results reveal that a well-regularized shallow architecture can serve as a highly competitive baseline across heterogeneous domains - from smart-city surveillance to agricultural variety classification - without requiring large GPUs or specialized pre-trained models. This work establishes a unified, reproducible benchmark for multiple Bangladeshi vision datasets and highlights the practical value of lightweight CNNs for real-world deployment in low-resource settings.
