Design of Chinese painting style classification model based on multi-layer aggregation CNN.

This study delves deeply into exploring the artistic value of traditional Chinese painting (TCP) and aims to bridge the gap between its fundamental characteristics and the realm of human emotions. To achieve this, a novel convolutional neural network (CNN)-based classification model for TCP emotions is proposed. By thoroughly analyzing the distinct emotional mapping relationships inherent in TCP, a comprehensive framework is developed. Notably, emotional feature regions are accurately extracted using image saliency, and a multi-layer aggregation recalibrated emotional feature module is seamlessly integrated into the CNN network structure. This integration strengthens the activation of features that significantly influence TCP emotions. Moreover, a method of multi-category weighted activation localization is skillfully employed to classify Chinese painting emotions within the CMYK (cyan magenta yellow black) color space. The empirical results convincingly demonstrate that our algorithm surpasses existing approaches such as VGG-19, GoogLeNet, ResNet-50, and WSCNet in the task of TCP emotion recognition, achieving an impressive accuracy of 92.36%, the largest error is 0.191. This improvement signifies the advancements made by our model in accurately capturing and understanding the emotional nuances within TCP. By outperforming previous methods, our research contributes to the convergence of multimedia technology and cultural education.
