Abstract
Image classification using a generated mask image is performed by generating a mask image that extracts a target area from an input image, extracting an image feature map of the input image by inputting the input image in a first neural network including at least one image feature extracting layer, masking the image feature map by using the mask image, and classifying the input image by inputting the masked image feature map to a second neural network including at least one classification layer.
