The following topics are also important when deeper study into Classifying objects is considered.
Classifying Objects in Images Using Deep Learning
Mahotas

Another package for image processing is Mahotas, including better and more complex image processing techniques that can help achieve better accuracy, although they may come at a high computational cost. However, many image processing tasks are good candidates for parallelization. More techniques on image classification can be found in the research literature, with this survey paper as a good start:Â http://ijarcce.com/upload/january/22-A%20Survey%20on%20Image%20Classification.pdf.
