Image Classification using VGG

In this example, we convert VGG on PyTorch to SINGA for image classification.

Instructions

• Download one parameter checkpoint file (see below) and the synset word file of ImageNet into this folder, e.g.,

    $ wget https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/dlfile/vgg/vgg11.tar.gz
    $ wget https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/dlfile/resnet/synset_words.txt
    $ tar xvf vgg11.tar.gz
  

• Usage

    $ python serve.py -h
  

• Example

    # use cpu
    $ python serve.py --use_cpu --parameter_file vgg11.pickle --depth 11 &
    # use gpu
    $ python serve.py --parameter_file vgg11.pickle --depth 11 &
  

  The parameter files for the following model and depth configuration pairs are provided:

  • Without batch-normalization, 11, 13, 16, 19
  • With batch-normalization, 11, 13, 16, 19

• Submit images for classification

    $ curl -i -F image=@image1.jpg http://localhost:9999/api
    $ curl -i -F image=@image2.jpg http://localhost:9999/api
    $ curl -i -F image=@image3.jpg http://localhost:9999/api
  

image1.jpg, image2.jpg and image3.jpg should be downloaded before executing the above commands.

Details

The parameter files were converted from the pytorch via the convert.py program.

Usage:

$ python convert.py -h
