**Thesis Proposal: Enhancing Image Classification Using Transfer Learning and Data Augmentation**

**Abstract:**
The rapid advancement of deep learning techniques has significantly improved the performance of image classification tasks. This thesis aims to explore the effectiveness of transfer learning combined with data augmentation techniques to enhance the accuracy of image classification models. We will utilize pre-trained models and apply various data augmentation strategies to improve the model's robustness and generalization capabilities.

**Objectives:**
1. To investigate the impact of transfer learning on image classification tasks.
2. To implement data augmentation techniques to increase the diversity of the training dataset.
3. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model against baseline models.

**Methodology:**
1. **Data Collection:** We will use the CIFAR-10 dataset, which consists of 60,000 32x32 color images in 10 classes.
2. **Transfer Learning:** We will leverage pre-trained models such as VGG16, ResNet50, and InceptionV3.
3. **Data Augmentation:** Techniques such as rotation, zoom, horizontal flip, and brightness adjustment will be applied.
4. **Model Training and Evaluation:** We will train the models and evaluate their performance using accuracy and F1-score metrics.

**Proof of Concept Code:**

```python
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator
from tensorflow.keras.applications import VGG16
from tensorflow.keras import layers, models
from tensorflow.keras.optimizers import Adam

# Load CIFAR-10 dataset
(x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = tf.keras.datasets.cifar10.load_data()

# Normalize the data
x_train = x_train.astype('float32') / 255.0
x_test = x_test.astype('float32') / 255.0

# Data Augmentation
datagen = ImageDataGenerator(
    rotation_range=20,
    width_shift_range=0.2,
    height_shift_range=0.2,
    shear_range=0.2,
    zoom_range=0.2,
    horizontal_flip=True,
    fill_mode='nearest'
)

# Load pre-trained VGG16 model + higher level layers
base_model = VGG16(weights='imagenet', include_top=False, input_shape=(32, 32, 3))

# Freeze the base model
base_model.trainable = False
