Load Caffe framework models {#tutorial_dnn_googlenet} =========================== Introduction ------------ In this tutorial you will learn how to use opencv_dnn module for image classification by using GoogLeNet trained network from [Caffe model zoo](http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/model_zoo.html). We will demonstrate results of this example on the following picture. ![Buran space shuttle](images/space_shuttle.jpg) Source Code ----------- We will be using snippets from the example application, that can be downloaded [here](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/master/samples/dnn/classification.cpp). @include dnn/classification.cpp Explanation ----------- -# Firstly, download GoogLeNet model files: [bvlc_googlenet.prototxt ](https://github.com/opencv/opencv_extra/blob/master/testdata/dnn/bvlc_googlenet.prototxt) and [bvlc_googlenet.caffemodel](http://dl.caffe.berkeleyvision.org/bvlc_googlenet.caffemodel) Also you need file with names of [ILSVRC2012](http://image-net.org/challenges/LSVRC/2012/browse-synsets) classes: [classification_classes_ILSVRC2012.txt](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/master/samples/dnn/classification_classes_ILSVRC2012.txt). Put these files into working dir of this program example. -# Read and initialize network using path to .prototxt and .caffemodel files @snippet dnn/classification.cpp Read and initialize network You can skip an argument `framework` if one of the files `model` or `config` has an extension `.caffemodel` or `.prototxt`. This way function cv::dnn::readNet can automatically detects a model's format. -# Read input image and convert to the blob, acceptable by GoogleNet @snippet dnn/classification.cpp Open a video file or an image file or a camera stream cv::VideoCapture can load both images and videos. @snippet dnn/classification.cpp Create a 4D blob from a frame We convert the image to a 4-dimensional blob (so-called batch) with `1x3x224x224` shape after applying necessary pre-processing like resizing and mean subtraction `(-104, -117, -123)` for each blue, green and red channels correspondingly using cv::dnn::blobFromImage function. -# Pass the blob to the network @snippet dnn/classification.cpp Set input blob -# Make forward pass @snippet dnn/classification.cpp Make forward pass During the forward pass output of each network layer is computed, but in this example we need output from the last layer only. -# Determine the best class @snippet dnn/classification.cpp Get a class with a highest score We put the output of network, which contain probabilities for each of 1000 ILSVRC2012 image classes, to the `prob` blob. And find the index of element with maximal value in this one. This index corresponds to the class of the image. -# Run an example from command line @code ./example_dnn_classification --model=bvlc_googlenet.caffemodel --config=bvlc_googlenet.prototxt --width=224 --height=224 --classes=classification_classes_ILSVRC2012.txt --input=space_shuttle.jpg --mean="104 117 123" @endcode For our image we get prediction of class `space shuttle` with more than 99% sureness.
