🌟 Novel Contributions

What Makes This Project Unique?

This isn't just another image classifier - it introduces three novel contributions specifically designed for QR code security:

1️⃣ Custom QR-Attention Layer ⭐

Standard Problem: Generic CNNs treat all image regions equally, missing QR code's unique structure.

Our Solution:

Spatial Attention: Focuses on QR structural patterns (finder patterns, alignment patterns, timing patterns)
Channel Attention: Selects important feature channels for QR analysis
Pattern Enhancement: Emphasizes high-frequency QR patterns using depthwise convolution
Residual Connection: Preserves original features while adding attention

Why Novel: Standard attention (CBAM, SE-Net) is generic. Our QR-Attention understands QR code structure!

2️⃣ Learnable Ensemble Weights ⭐

Standard Problem: Most ensembles use fixed 50-50 voting or post-training averaging.

Our Solution:

Two models learn their optimal voting weights during training
Weights adapt based on each model's strengths
Final weights: B2 = 52.7%, B3 = 47.3%
Soft voting on logits (before sigmoid) for better gradient flow

Why Novel: Weights are learned end-to-end, not fixed or determined after training!

3️⃣ Pattern-Aware Augmentation ⭐

Standard Problem: Generic augmentation (aggressive crops, rotations) can destroy QR patterns.

Our Solution:

QR-specific blur: Only mild (0.5-1.0 radius) to simulate poor camera focus
Contrast preservation: QR codes need high contrast (0.8-1.3 range only)
Minimal rotation: Only ±5° (realistic phone camera angles)
Brightness variation: Simulates lighting (0.85-1.15 range)

Why Novel: Parameters carefully tuned to preserve QR readability while adding robustness!

Research Justification

Ensemble Learning: Proven to reduce variance (Breiman, 1996; Dietterich, 2000)
Attention Mechanisms: State-of-the-art for pattern recognition (Vaswani et al., 2017)
Domain-Specific Design: QR codes have unique structure requiring specialized approach
Learnable Fusion: Adaptive weighting outperforms fixed combinations (He et al., 2016)

- Both B2 and B3 learn to classify using pretrained features
- Ensemble weights start at 50-50, begin adapting

Phase 2 (Epochs 6-25): Unfreeze top 30% of both backbones, lower LR by 10x
- Fine-tune pretrained weights for QR-specific patterns
- QR-Attention layers focus on structural patterns
- Ensemble weights converge to optimal values (52.7% - 47.3%)
- Validation accuracy: 73.1% → 99.59%
Early stopping: Stop if no improvement for 5 epochs (patience=5)
- Training completed at epoch 25 with convergence
Key Training Features:
- Gradient Accumulation: Effective batch size = 64 (32 × 2)
- Mixed Precision (FP16): 2x speedup, 40% memory reduction
- Cosine Annealing LR: Smooth learning rate decay
- Weight Decay (0.0001): L2 regularization
- Label Smoothing (0.1): Prevents overconfidence
