Optimized deep learning for Indian Classical Dance Classification a novel application based on a refined version of chameleon swarm algorithm.. Indian Classical Dance (ICD) is a cultural art form much older than history, where the body movements convey emotions, spiritual meanings, or narrative meanings. Automated classification of ICD styles from visual data presents great challenges because of subtle inter-class variations, intra-class variations, and the complexity of human pose representation. Deep learning models have been applied to this kind of work, but the performance is usually limited due to suboptimal parameter tuning. Therefore, this work introduces a new approach to optimize D…

Currently there are about 40 extant families of Lacertilia. These vary considerably, e.g. in shades, colours, and sizes. For example, the largest representative among Geckos, the New Caledonian giant gecko (Rhacodactylus leachianus), has a length of up to 36 cm (14 in), while the largest species in the family Varanidae, Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), has a length up to 3 metres (10 ft), and a body mass of 70 kg (154 lbs).

The Cape dwarf chameleon (Bradypodion pumilum) is a chameleon native to the South African province of the Western Cape, where it is restricted to the region around Cape Town. As with most chameleons, its tongue is twice the length of its body and it can be shot out of its mouth using a special muscle in the jaw. This gives the chameleon the ability to catch insects some distance away.
