This study presents a Prairie Dog Optimization Algorithm with a Deep learning-assisted Aerial Image Classification Approach (PDODL-AICA) on UAV images. The PDODL-AICA technique exploits the optimal DL model for classifying aerial images into numerous classes. In the presented PDODL-AICA technique, the feature extraction procedure is executed using the EfficientNetB7 model. Besides, the hyperparameter tuning of the EfficientNetB7 technique uses the PDO model. The PDODL-AICA technique uses a convolutional variational autoencoder (CVAE) model to detect and classify aerial images. The performance study of the PDODL-AICA model is implemented on a benchmark UAV image dataset. The experimental values inferred the authority of the PDODL-AICA approach over recent models in terms of dissimilar measures.
