im2txt_demo

im2txt + pretrained models + docker = easy tryout

This repo contains a copy of im2txt (https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/im2txt), a suitable docker image, pretrained models (tensorflow/models#466) and some trivial shell scripts for convenience.

Limitations:

• The command "git lfs pull" might respond with errors, due to the limited GitHub data quota. In this case you can
  • wait until next month and hope you can perform "git lfs pull" before the data limit is reached OR
  • use the following links to the pretrained models and download them manually: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw6m_66JSYLlRFVKQ2tGcUJaWjA/view
  • Copy the file model.ckpt-2000000 to the folder im2txt_pretrained. It should have a size of 143 mb.
• The tensorflow version is fixed to an old one (0.12). Feel free to update and create a pull request! Thanks in Advance for your help!
