Abstract
The success of the deep learning and specifically learning layer by layer led to many impressive results in several contexts that include neural network. This gave us the idea to apply this principle of learning on wavelet network because it is an active research topic at the moment. This paper present our approach for image classification by the combination of two techniques of learning: the wavelet network and the deep learning. We try to classify images in a supervised way following by an unsupervised learning using the principle of autoencoder.
Experiments on two databases COIL-100 and MNIST show that our approach gives good results for the two classifiers that we used.
