1. Installation

• installing from pypi

pip3 install paddleclas==2.2.1

• build own whl package and install

python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
pip3 install dist/*

2. Quick Start

2.1 ImageNet1k models

Using the ResNet50 model provided by PaddleClas, the following image('docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg') as an example.

• Python

from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50')
infer_imgs='docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))

Note: PaddleClas.predict() is a generator. Therefore you need to use next() or for call it iteratively. It will perform a prediction by batch_size and return the prediction result(s) when called. Examples of returned results are as follows:

>>> result
[{'class_ids': [8, 7, 136, 80, 84], 'scores': [0.79368, 0.16329, 0.01853, 0.00959, 0.00239], 'label_names': ['hen', 'cock', 'European gallinule, Porphyrio porphyrio', 'black grouse', 'peacock']}]

• CLI

paddleclas --model_name=ResNet50  --infer_imgs="docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg"

>>> result
filename: docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg, top-5, class_ids: [8, 7, 136, 80, 84], scores: [0.79368, 0.16329, 0.01853, 0.00959, 0.00239], label_names: ['hen', 'cock', 'European gallinule, Porphyrio porphyrio', 'black grouse', 'peacock']
Predict complete!

2.2 PULC models

PULC integrates various state-of-the-art algorithms such as backbone network, data augmentation and distillation, etc., and finally can automatically obtain a lightweight and high-precision image classification model.

PaddleClas provides a series of test cases, which contain demos of different scenes about people, cars, OCR, etc. Click here to download the data.

Prection using the PULC "Human Exists Classification" model provided by PaddleClas:

• Python

import paddleclas
model = paddleclas.PaddleClas(model_name="person_exists")
result = model.predict(input_data="pulc_demo_imgs/person_exists/objects365_01780782.jpg")
print(next(result))

>>> result
[{'class_ids': [0], 'scores': [0.9955421453341842], 'label_names': ['nobody'], 'filename': 'pulc_demo_imgs/person_exists/objects365_01780782.jpg'}]

Nobody means there is no one in the image, someone means there is someone in the image. Therefore, the prediction result indicates that there is no one in the figure.

Note: model.predict() is a generator, so next() or for is needed to call it. This would to predict by batch that length is batch_size, default by 1. You can specify the argument batch_size and model_name when instantiating PaddleClas object, for example: model = paddleclas.PaddleClas(model_name="person_exists", batch_size=2). Please refer to Supported Model List for the supported model list.

• CLI

paddleclas --model_name=person_exists --infer_imgs=pulc_demo_imgs/person_exists/objects365_01780782.jpg

>>> result
class_ids: [0], scores: [0.9955421453341842], label_names: ['nobody'], filename: pulc_demo_imgs/person_exists/objects365_01780782.jpg
Predict complete!

Note: The "--infer_imgs" argument specify the image(s) to be predict, and you can also specify a directoy contains images. If use other model, you can specify the --model_name argument. Please refer to Supported Model List for the supported model list.

4.2 Prediction using inference model provide by PaddleClas

You can use the inference model provided by PaddleClas to predict, and only need to specify model_name. In this case, PaddleClas will automatically download files of specified model and save them in the directory ~/.paddleclas/.

• Python

from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50')
infer_imgs = 'docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))

• CLI

paddleclas --model_name='ResNet50' --infer_imgs='docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'

4.3 Prediction using local model files

You can use the local model files trained by yourself to predict, and only need to specify inference_model_dir. Note that the directory must contain inference.pdmodel and inference.pdiparams.

• Python

from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(inference_model_dir='./inference/')
infer_imgs = 'docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))

• CLI

paddleclas --inference_model_dir='./inference/' --infer_imgs='docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'

You can predict by batch, only need to specify batch_size when infer_imgs is direcotry contain image files.

• Python

from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50', batch_size=2)
infer_imgs = 'docs/images/'
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
for r in result:
    print(r)

• CLI

paddleclas --model_name='ResNet50' --infer_imgs='docs/images/' --batch_size 2

4.5 Prediction of Internet image

You can predict the Internet image, only need to specify URL of Internet image by infer_imgs. In this case, the image file will be downloaded and saved in the directory ~/.paddleclas/images/.

print(next(result))

• CLI

paddleclas --model_name='ResNet50' --infer_imgs='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paddlepaddle/paddleclas/release/2.2/docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'

4.6 Prediction of NumPy.array format image

In Python code, you can predict the NumPy.array format image, only need to use the infer_imgs to transfer variable of image data. Note that the models in PaddleClas only support to predict 3 channels image data, and channels order is RGB.

• python

import cv2
from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50')
infer_imgs = cv2.imread("docs/en/inference_deployment/whl_deploy_en.md")[:, :, ::-1]
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))

4.7 Save the prediction result(s)

You can save the prediction result(s) as pre-label, only need to use pre_label_out_dir to specify the directory to save.

• python

from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50', save_dir='./output_pre_label/')
infer_imgs = 'docs/images/' # it can be infer_imgs folder path which contains all of images you want to predict.
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))

• CLI

paddleclas --model_name='ResNet50' --infer_imgs='docs/images/' --save_dir='./output_pre_label/'

4.8 Specify the mapping between class id and label name

You can specify the mapping between class id and label name, only need to use class_id_map_file to specify the mapping file. PaddleClas uses ImageNet1K's mapping by default.

The content format of mapping file shall be:

class_id<space>class_name<\n>

For example:

0 tench, Tinca tinca
1 goldfish, Carassius auratus
2 great white shark, white shark, man-eater, man-eating shark, Carcharodon carcharias
......

• Python

from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50', class_id_map_file='./ppcls/utils/imagenet1k_label_list.txt')
infer_imgs = 'docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))

• CLI

paddleclas --model_name='ResNet50' --infer_imgs='docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg' --class_id_map_file='./ppcls/utils/imagenet1k_label_list.txt'
