• Utilized object detection techniques like YOLOv5 and ensemble models

• Dataset consisted of Hindu and Christian divine images

Sasithradevi et al.32

• Proposed a custom KolamNetv2 architecture comprising of EfficientNet and various attention modules

• It aimed to classify various artistic styles of rangoli commonly found in Tamil culture

Sasithradevi et al.33

• Proposed MonuNet architecture for classification of cultural heritage in Kolkata

• Utilized dense channel attention modules and PSCA modules to extract key architectural details from the images

Babić et al.34

• Compares four machine learning algorithms using features from eleven pre-trained deep learning models on a small cultural heritage image dataset

• Used DenseNet121, EfficientNetB0 and NASNetMobile architectures for feature extraction

Gao et al.35

• Proposed Convolutional Neural Network Attention Retrieval Framework (CNNAR Framework) to classify various Chinese diaspora architectural styles

• Tested the proposed architecture on Paris500K and Corel5K datasets to achieve considerable results
