A new U-Net based system for multi-cultural wedding image classification

Use of social media for communication, sharing or expressing views, broadcasting news, threatening and blackmailing has become an integral part of society. One such activity is understanding multi-cultural wedding images uploaded on social media. This paper presents a novel method based on the combi...
