API usage sample for classification task

This sample demonstrates the use of the Post-training Optimization Tool API for the task of quantizing a classification model. The MobilenetV2 model from TensorFlow* is used for this purpose. A custom DataLoader is created to load the ImageNet classification dataset and the implementation of Accuracy at top-1 metric is used for the model evaluation.

How to prepare the data

To run this sample, you need to download the validation part of the ImageNet image database and place it in a separate folder, which will be later referred as <IMAGES_DIR>. Annotations to images should be stored in a separate .txt file (<IMAGENET_ANNOTATION_FILE>) in the format image_name label.

How to Run the Sample

In the instructions below, the Post-Training Optimization Tool directory <POT_DIR> is referred to:

  • <ENV>/lib/python<version>/site-packages/ in the case of PyPI installation, where <ENV> is a Python* environment where OpenVINO is installed and <version> is a Python* version, e.g. 3.6.

  • <INSTALL_DIR>/deployment_tools/tools/post_training_optimization_toolkit in the case of OpenVINO distribution package. <INSTALL_DIR> is the directory where Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit is installed.

  1. To get started, follow the Installation Guide.

  2. Launch Model Downloader tool to download mobilenet-v2-1.0-224 model from the Open Model Zoo repository.

    python3 ./downloader.py --name mobilenet-v2-1.0-224

  3. Launch Model Converter tool to generate Intermediate Representation (IR) files for the model:

    python3 ./converter.py --name mobilenet-v2-1.0-224 --mo <PATH_TO_MODEL_OPTIMIZER>/mo.py

  4. Launch the sample script:

    python3 <POT_DIR>/compression/api/samples/classification/classification_sample.py -m <PATH_TO_IR_XML> -a <IMAGENET_ANNOTATION_FILE> -d <IMAGES_DIR>

    Optional: you can specify .bin file of IR directly using the -w, --weights options.
