If you’re looking to utilize one of the most efficient image classification models for mobile devices, you’re in the right place! In this article, we will walk you through the essentials of getting started with the GoogLeNetQuantized model. This optimized model is perfect for classifying images from the Imagenet dataset and can be integrated into various applications. Let’s dive in!
Understanding GoogLeNetQuantized
Think of GoogLeNet as a highly skilled chef in a gourmet kitchen. This chef knows how to transform raw ingredients (images) into delightful dishes (classifications) that please the palate. In this analogy, the chef is equipped with an array of specialty tools (advanced algorithms and architecture) that allow for the efficient preparation of various meals (image classification tasks).
Just like a chef can take a recipe and add their twist, GoogLeNet can be adjusted and fine-tuned for specific tasks, making it an ideal backbone model for complex applications. Onward to installation!
Installation
Installing GoogLeNetQuantized is straightforward. You can accomplish this using Python’s package manager, pip. Follow these simple commands:
pip install qai-hub-models[googlenet_quantized]
Configuring Qualcomm® AI Hub
To run your model on a cloud-hosted device, you’ll need to configure the Qualcomm® AI Hub. Here are the steps:
- Sign in to Qualcomm® AI Hub with your Qualcomm® ID.
- Navigate to Account – Settings – API Token.
- Use the API token to configure your client. Input this command:
qai-hub configure --api_token API_TOKEN
For more information, visit the documentation.
Running the Demo
The package comes with a simple demo that downloads pre-trained weights and runs the model on a sample input. Here’s how to execute it:
python -m qai_hub_models.models.googlenet_quantized.demo
If you prefer running it in a Jupyter Notebook or Google Colab, use the following command instead:
%run -m qai_hub_models.models.googlenet_quantized.demo
Deploying on Android Devices
Deploying the compiled model to your Android application can be done using multiple runtimes:
- For TensorFlow Lite (.tflite export), refer to this tutorial.
- For QNN (.so export), check out the sample app.
Troubleshooting
Even the best chefs encounter kitchen mishaps; similarly, you may face some issues while working with GoogLeNetQuantized. Here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Ensure your environment is set up correctly, and all dependencies are installed.
- If you encounter API token errors, double-check your token and try again.
- For performance issues, consider checking compatibility with your device specifications.
