In order to evaluate the model, we calculate the accuracy. Accuracy is fraction of labels that the network predicts correctly. After experiment complete, the accuracy achieved from the project is 99.56%. This result will prove that CNN can be the great classifier as it can produce high accuracy rate. Next, the system was successfully developed by implementing the best CNN model as a classifier.
