Lightweight Vision Models for Galaxy Morphology Classification: A Comparative Study of ResNet, MobileNet, EfficientNet, and MobileViT on Galaxy10 DECaLS

Automated galaxy morphology classification now rests on parameter-heavy convolutional backbones, whose cost becomes a design constraint as survey volumes grow. This paper compares three lightweight architectures (MobileNetV2, EfficientNetB0, and MobileViT-Extra Small (XS)) against a ResNet50 baseline on the Galaxy10 Da...
