Convolutional Neural Networks
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a type of deep learning model that are particularly well-suited for image classification and other computer vision tasks. They are composed of layers of convolutional filters that extract features from the input image, followed by pooling layers that downsample the feature maps, and then fully connected layers that perform classification.
Here's an example of how to build a simple CNN using the Keras deep learning library:
from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Conv2D, MaxPooling2D, Flatten, Dense
# Create a sequential model
model = Sequential()
# Add a convolutional layer with 32 filters, a 3x3 kernel size, and ReLU activation function
model.add(Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu', input_shape=(28, 28, 1)))
# Add a max pooling layer with 2x2 pool size
model.add(MaxPooling2D((2, 2)))
# Flatten the output of the max pooling layer
model.add(Flatten())
# Add a fully connected layer with 128 neurons and ReLU activation function
model.add(Dense(128, activation='relu'))
# Add a final output layer with 10 neurons and softmax activation function for multiclass classification
model.add(Dense(10, activation='softmax'))
# Compile the model with categorical cross-entropy loss and stochastic gradient descent optimizer
model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='sgd', metrics=['accuracy'])
In this example, we create a sequential model and add layers one by one. The first layer is a convolutional layer with 32 filters, a 3x3 kernel size, and ReLU activation function. The input shape is 28x28x1, which corresponds to grayscale images of size 28x28. The second layer is a max pooling layer with 2x2 pool size, which downsamples the feature maps by taking the maximum value in each 2x2 region. The third layer flattens the output of the max pooling layer into a 1D vector. The fourth layer is a fully connected layer with 128 neurons and ReLU activation function. The final layer is an output layer with 10 neurons and softmax activation function for multiclass classification.
Now let's see an example of using a pre-trained CNN for image classification:
from keras.applications.vgg16 import VGG16, preprocess_input, decode_predictions
from keras.preprocessing.image import load_img, img_to_array
# Load a pre-trained VGG16 model
model = VGG16()
# Load an image and preprocess it for input to the model
image = load_img('example.jpg', target_size=(224, 224))
image = img_to_array(image)
image = preprocess_input(image)
# Make a prediction with the model and decode the output
prediction = model.predict(image)
labels = decode_predictions(prediction, top=5)
# Print the top 5 predicted classes and their probabilities
for label in labels[0]:
print('%s (%.2f%%)' % (label[1], label[2]*100))
In this example, we load a pre-trained VGG16 model using Keras. We then load an example image and preprocess it using the preprocess_input function, which normalizes the image according to the pre-processing scheme used during training of the VGG16 model. We make a prediction with the model using the predict function, and decode the output using the decode_predictions function, which maps the predicted probabilities to class labels. Finally, we print the top 5 predicted classes and their probabilities.
