cnn-feature-extractor 0.1.2

Automatic CNN feature extraction and ML model comparison

CNN Feature Extractor

A Python package for automatic CNN feature extraction and ML model comparison. Extract features from images using pre-trained CNN models and evaluate multiple ML classifiers in one go.

Installation

pip install cnn_feature_extractor

Quick Start with CIFAR10

import torch
import torchvision
from torchvision import transforms
from cnn_feature_extractor import CNNFeatureExtractor

# Set image size
image_size = 128

# Define transforms
transform = transforms.Compose([
    transforms.Resize(image_size),
    transforms.ToTensor(),
    transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
])

# Load CIFAR10 dataset
train_dataset = torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(
    root='./data', 
    train=True,
    download=True,
    transform=transform
)

val_dataset = torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(
    root='./data', 
    train=False,
    download=True,
    transform=transform
)

# Create data loaders
train_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
    train_dataset,
    batch_size=32,
    shuffle=True,
    num_workers=4
)

val_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
    val_dataset,
    batch_size=32,
    shuffle=False,
    num_workers=4
)

# Initialize and run feature extraction + ML comparison
extractor = CNNFeatureExtractor(save_path='cifar10_results.csv')
results = extractor.fit(
    train_loader, 
    val_loader,

    # Example 1: Using specific models
    cnn_models=['resnet18', 'efficientnet_b0'],    

    # Example 2: Using the tiny package (fastest, good for testing)
    # cnn_models='tiny',  # This will use: mobilenet_v2, mobilenet_v3_small, efficientnet_b0, convnext_tiny, resnet18

    # Example 3: Mixing packages
    # cnn_models='tiny + small',  # This will combine models from both packages
    
    ml_models=['RandomForest', 'LogisticRegression']
)

Custom Dataset Example

from cnn_feature_extractor import CNNFeatureExtractor
from cnn_feature_extractor.utils.dataset import load_custom_dataset

# Set image size and other parameters
image_size = 224  # Standard size for most CNN models
batch_size = 32
num_workers = 4

# Load your custom dataset
train_loader, val_loader, num_classes = load_custom_dataset(
    data_dir='path/to/your/dataset',  # Path to your dataset root directory
    batch_size=batch_size,
    num_workers=num_workers,
    image_size=image_size,
    augment=True  # Enable data augmentation (optional)
)

# Initialize feature extractor
extractor = CNNFeatureExtractor(save_path='results.csv')

# Run feature extraction and ML comparison
results = extractor.fit(
    train_loader, 
    val_loader,

    # Example 1: Using specific models
    cnn_models=['resnet18', 'efficientnet_b0'],    

    # Example 2: Using the tiny package (fastest, good for testing)
    # cnn_models='tiny',  # This will use: mobilenet_v2, mobilenet_v3_small, efficientnet_b0, convnext_tiny, resnet18

    # Example 3: Mixing packages
    # cnn_models='tiny + small',  # This will combine models from both packages
    
    ml_models=['RandomForest', 'LogisticRegression']
)

# Results will be saved to 'results.csv'
print(results)

Package Usage Tips

1. Choosing CNN Models:

   • Start with 'tiny' package models for quick experiments
   • Use 'biggest' package models for maximum accuracy
   • Mix models from different packages: cnn_models=['resnet18', 'efficientnet_b7']

2. Choosing ML Models:

   • Start with fast models like LogisticRegression
   • Use RandomForest or XGBoost for better accuracy
   • Try multiple models: ml_models=['LogisticRegression', 'RandomForest', 'XGBoost']

3. Data Augmentation:

   • Enable with augment=True in load_custom_dataset
   • Helps prevent overfitting
   • Especially useful for small datasets

4. GPU Usage:

   • GPU is automatically used if available
   • CNN feature extraction is significantly faster on GPU
   • Some ML models (XGBoost, LightGBM) can also use GPU
