The classification of vehicles is an important task in many applications, including traffic management, surveillance, and law enforcement. In Bangladesh, vehicle classification has become increasingly challenging due to the rapid growth in the number of vehicles on the roads. In this study, a novel deep learning-based Bangladeshi vehicle classification model using fine-tuned Multi-class Vehicle Image Network (MVINet) based on DenseNet201 with four added layers has been proposed. Our approach uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to extract features from images of vehicles. To make our dataset, we employ a YOLO (You Only Look Once) model for initial vehicle detection, followed by manual filtering and augmentation of the dataset to improve classification accuracy. The proposed method demonstrates superior performance compared to manual data collection methods. We evaluated our approach using standard metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. Our model achieved an accuracy of 97.06%, precision of 97.17%, recall of 97.24%, and F1-score of 97.12% indicating high performance in classifying vehicles. We also compared our approach with state-of-the-art techniques and found that the proposed deep learning-based approach outperformed them significantly. The proposed approach has the potential to improve traffic management and law enforcement in Bangladesh. It can be used to monitor traffic flow, detect traffic violations, and identify stolen vehicles. Overall, this study demonstrates the effectiveness of deep learning in Bangladeshi vehicle detection and classification and highlights the importance of using advanced technologies to address the challenges of a rapidly changing transportation landscape.
