Getting Started with Image Classification

Let us start the journey by classifying images. Follow the steps below to use the EfficientNet model.

python
from urllib.request import urlopen
from PIL import Image
import timm

img = Image.open(urlopen(
    'https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/beignets-task-guide.png'))
model = timm.create_model('tf_efficientnet_b0.aa_in1k', pretrained=True)
model = model.eval()

# get model specific transforms (normalization, resize)
data_config = timm.data.resolve_model_data_config(model)
transforms = timm.data.create_transform(**data_config, is_training=False)
output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))  # unsqueeze single image into batch of 1
top5_probabilities, top5_class_indices = torch.topk(output.softmax(dim=1) * 100, k=5)

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Think of the EfficientNet model as an art gallery. Each image we send to it is like a visitor trying to navigate through the exhibits. The model (gallery) is prepared to receive and classify artwork (images) with a set of special tools (transformations) that allow it to resize and normalize each piece. As our visitor walks through the gallery (the model processes the image), it uses its trained knowledge to recognize different art styles (classifications). At the end of the visit, the gallery can provide a curated list of the top 5 artworks (top 5 classifications) that closely resemble the visitor’s piece, complete with the levels of appreciation (probabilities).

Feature Map Extraction

Next, let’s extract the feature maps to understand how the model processes images.

python
from urllib.request import urlopen
from PIL import Image
import timm

img = Image.open(urlopen(
    'https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/beignets-task-guide.png'))
model = timm.create_model(
    'tf_efficientnet_b0.aa_in1k',
    pretrained=True,
    features_only=True,)
model = model.eval()

# get model specific transforms (normalization, resize)
data_config = timm.data.resolve_model_data_config(model)
transforms = timm.data.create_transform(**data_config, is_training=False)
output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))  # unsqueeze single image into batch of 1
for o in output:
    # print shape of each feature map in output
    print(o.shape)

Generating Image Embeddings

Finally, let’s delve into generating image embeddings.

python
from urllib.request import urlopen
from PIL import Image
import timm

img = Image.open(urlopen(
    'https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/beignets-task-guide.png'))
model = timm.create_model(
    'tf_efficientnet_b0.aa_in1k',
    pretrained=True,
    num_classes=0,  # remove classifier nn.Linear)
model = model.eval()

# get model specific transforms (normalization, resize)
data_config = timm.data.resolve_model_data_config(model)
transforms = timm.data.create_transform(**data_config, is_training=False)
output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))  # output is (batch_size, num_features) shaped tensor
# or equivalently (without needing to set num_classes=0)
output = model.forward_features(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))  # output is unpooled, a (1, 1280, 7, 7) shaped tensor
output = model.forward_head(output, pre_logits=True)  # output is a (1, num_features) shaped tensor

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you run into any issues while implementing the above code snippets, consider the following troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure that all libraries are installed correctly (PIL, timm). Reinstalling can often fix unresolved import errors.
• Check your internet connection as the code relies on fetching images from URLs.
• If the model is not loading, verify that you are using the correct syntax and model name when creating the model.
• If you receive errors related to data transformations or shapes, ensure that the input image meets the required size (224 x 224).
• Remember to adjust your PyTorch environment according to the model requirements.
