This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of three prominent machine learning models—Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), and Random Forest classifiers—on a specific image classification task. The research investigates the efficacy of these models through various performance metrics, examining their strengths and limitations.

The  \nRandom Forest classifier showed promise in structured data analysis but required effective feature engineering to enhance its performance with image data. The study also highlights the critical role of feature engineering techniques, data preprocessing, and hyperparameter tuning in optimizing model performance.
