DEEP Open Catalogue: Image classification

Build Status

Author: Ignacio Heredia (CSIC)

Project: This work is part of the DEEP Hybrid-DataCloud project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 777435.

This is a plug-and-play tool to train and evaluate an image classifier on a custom dataset using deep neural networks.

You can find more information about it in the DEEP Marketplace.

Installing this module

Local installation

Requirements

This project has been tested in Ubuntu 18.04 with Python 3.6.5. Further package requirements are described in the requirements.txt file.

To start using this framework clone the repo and download the default weights:

# First line installs OpenCV requirement
apt-get update && apt-get install -y libgl1
git clone https://github.com/deephdc/image-classification-tf
cd image-classification-tf
pip install -e .
curl -o ./models/default_imagenet.tar.xz https://api.cloud.ifca.es:8080/swift/v1/imagenet-tf/default_imagenet.tar.xz
cd models && tar -xf default_imagenet.tar.xz && rm default_imagenet.tar.xz

now run DEEPaaS:

deepaas-run --listen-ip 0.0.0.0

and open http://0.0.0.0:5000/ui and look for the methods belonging to the imgclas module.

Docker installation

We have also prepared a ready-to-use Docker container to run this module. To run it:

docker search deephdc
docker run -ti -p 5000:5000 -p 6006:6006 -p 8888:8888 deephdc/deep-oc-image-classification-tf

Now open http://0.0.0.0:5000/ui and look for the methods belonging to the imgclas module.

Train an image classifier

You can train your own audio classifier with your custom dataset. For that you have to:

1. Data preprocessing

The first step to train you image classifier if to have the data correctly set up.

1.1 Prepare the images

Put your images in the./data/images folder. If you have your data somewhere else you can use that location by setting the image_dir parameter in the training args. Please use a standard image format (like .png or .jpg).

1.2 Prepare the data splits

First you need add to the ./data/dataset_files directory the following files:

Mandatory files Optional files
classes.txt, train.txt val.txt, test.txt, info.txt

The train.txt, val.txt and test.txt files associate an image name (or relative path) to a label number (that has to start at zero). The classes.txt file translates those label numbers to label names. Finally the info.txt allows you to provide information (like number of images in the database) about each class.

You can find examples of these files at ./data/demo-dataset_files.

2. Train the classifier

Tip: Training is usually depend on the training args you use. Although the default ones work reasonable well, you can explore how to modify them with the dataset exploration notebook.

Go to http://0.0.0.0:5000/ui and look for the TRAIN POST method. Click on 'Try it out', change whatever training args you want and click 'Execute'. The training will be launched and you will be able to follow its status by executing the TRAIN GET method which will also give a history of all trainings previously executed.

If the module has some sort of training monitoring configured (like Tensorboard) you will be able to follow it at http://0.0.0.0:6006.

Test an image classifier

Go to http://0.0.0.0:5000/ui and look for the PREDICT POST method. Click on 'Try it out', change whatever test args you want and click 'Execute'. You can either supply a:

  • a data argument with a path pointing to an image.

OR

  • a url argument with an URL pointing to an image. Here is an example of such an url that you can use for testing purposes.

More info

You can have more info on how to interact directly with the module (not through the DEEPaaS API) by examining the ./notebooks folder:

  • dataset exploration notebook: Visualize relevant statistics that will help you to modify the training args.

  • computing predictions notebook: Test the classifier on a number of tasks: predict a single local image (or url), predict multiple images (or urls), merge the predictions of a multi-image single observation, etc.

predict

  • predictions statistics notebook: Make and store the predictions of the test.txt file (if you provided one). Once you have done that you can visualize the statistics of the predictions like popular metrics (accuracy, recall, precision, f1-score), the confusion matrix, etc.

  • saliency maps notebook: Visualize the saliency maps of the predicted images, which show what were the most relevant pixels in order to make the prediction.

Saliency maps

Finally you can launch a simple webpage to use the trained classifier to predict images (both local and urls) on your favorite browser.
