The Enhanced Wide-field Galaxy Classification Network (EWGC) is a novel architecture designed to classify spiral and elliptical galaxies using Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) images. The EWGC achieves an impressive classification accuracy of 90.02%, significantly outperforming the previously developed WGC network and underscoring its superior performance in galaxy morphology classification. Remarkably, the network demonstrates a consistent accuracy of 90.02% when processing both multi-target and single-target images. Such robustness indicates the EWGC’s versatility and potential for various applications in galaxy classification tasks.
