How to Use MobileNet-V3 for Image Classification

1. Install Required Libraries

Ensure that you have the required libraries installed. You will need timm and PIL. Install them if you haven’t:

pip install timm Pillow

2. Image Classification Code

Here’s how to classify images using this model:

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

# Load Image
img = Image.open(urlopen('https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/beignets-task-guide.png'))

# Create Model
model = timm.create_model('tf_mobilenetv3_large_100.in1k', pretrained=True)
model = model.eval()

# Get model specific transforms
data_config = timm.data.resolve_model_data_config(model)
transforms = timm.data.create_transform(**data_config, is_training=False)

# Process image through model
output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))

# Get top 5 predictions
top5_probabilities, top5_class_indices = torch.topk(output.softmax(dim=1) * 100, k=5)

Analogy for Understanding the Code

Think of the MobileNet-V3 model as a skilled chef who has trained for years on a massive culinary dataset. This chef (the model) has learned how to recognize various ingredients (features in the image) and is now ready to whip up a meal (classification). The image you input is like a raw ingredient you hand over to the chef. The chef examines the ingredient and identifies its top five characteristics and how they rate in quality and flavor (the probabilities and class indices).

Feature Map Extraction

If you want to extract feature maps from an image, use the following code:

model = timm.create_model('tf_mobilenetv3_large_100.in1k', pretrained=True, features_only=True)
model = model.eval()

# Process image through model to get feature maps
output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))

for o in output:
    print(o.shape)  # Output shapes of feature maps

Image Embeddings

To generate image embeddings, refer to the following code snippet:

model = timm.create_model('tf_mobilenetv3_large_100.in1k', pretrained=True, num_classes=0)  # Remove classifier
model = model.eval()

# Process image through model to get embeddings
output = model(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))
output = model.forward_features(transforms(img).unsqueeze(0))
output = model.forward_head(output, pre_logits=True)

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while implementing this model, consider the following:

• Ensure all libraries are correctly installed and up to date.
• Verify the image URL is accessible; if it’s broken, download the image first.
• Check for any typos in model names or configuration parameters.
