This paper focuses on recognizing different postal shipment types from images taken by the sorting machine. Greyscale images obtained from sorting machines are used to build a classifier using transfer learning to recognize seven different classes of shipments. Three convolutional neural networks (VGG16, GoogLeNet and ResNet50), that were pretrained using the ImageNet dataset, were used as feature extractors and the extracted features were subsequently supplied to a neural network classifier. VGG16 demonstrated the best performance for six out of the seven classes and achieved an overall mean accuracy of 95.69% on the independent test set. The model accomplished F1 scores exceeding 90% for five out of seven classes, only having a lower recall for the aggregated class "Other'' and shipments from abroad. The results of this study highlight the potential of transfer learning for computer vision in the context of shipment classification.
