How to use Tensorflow - tensorflow

Question

I've built multiple DNN and conVNN using tensorflow, and I can reach now a good accuracy. Now my question is how can I use this trained networks in real example.
I case of a convNN for computer vision, how can I use the model to classify a new picture ? can I generate something like convNN.exe that get images as input parameter that through the classification result out ?

Answer 1

Once you've trained the model, you should save it somewhere by adding code similar to
builder = saved_model_builder.SavedModelBuilder(export_path)
builder.add_meta_graph_and_variables(
sess, [tag_constants.SERVING],
signature_def_map={
'predict_images':
prediction_signature,
signature_constants.DEFAULT_SERVING_SIGNATURE_DEF_KEY:
classification_signature,
},
legacy_init_op=legacy_init_op)
builder.save()
Then, you can use Tensorflow serving to serve your model using a high-performance C++ server by running
bazel-bin/tensorflow_serving/model_servers/tensorflow_model_server \
--port=9000 --model_name=mnist \
--model_base_path=/tmp/mnist_model/
Modifying the code for your model, of course. You'll need to implement a client; there's an example for MNIST here. The guts of the client would be something like:
def do_inference(hostport, work_dir, concurrency, num_tests):
"""Tests PredictionService with concurrent requests.
Args:
hostport: Host:port address of the PredictionService.
work_dir: The full path of working directory for test data set.
concurrency: Maximum number of concurrent requests.
num_tests: Number of test images to use.
Returns:
The classification error rate.
Raises:
IOError: An error occurred processing test data set.
"""
test_data_set = mnist_input_data.read_data_sets(work_dir).test
host, port = hostport.split(':')
channel = implementations.insecure_channel(host, int(port))
stub = prediction_service_pb2.beta_create_PredictionService_stub(channel)
result_counter = _ResultCounter(num_tests, concurrency)
for _ in range(num_tests):
request = predict_pb2.PredictRequest()
request.model_spec.name = 'mnist'
request.model_spec.signature_name = 'predict_images'
image, label = test_data_set.next_batch(1)
request.inputs['images'].CopyFrom(
tf.contrib.util.make_tensor_proto(image[0], shape=[1, image[0].size]))
result_counter.throttle()
result_future = stub.Predict.future(request, 5.0) # 5 seconds
result_future.add_done_callback(
_create_rpc_callback(label[0], result_counter))
return result_counter.get_error_rate()
def main(_):
if FLAGS.num_tests > 10000:
print('num_tests should not be greater than 10k')
return
if not FLAGS.server:
print('please specify server host:port')
return
error_rate = do_inference(FLAGS.server, FLAGS.work_dir,
FLAGS.concurrency, FLAGS.num_tests)
print('\nInference error rate: %s%%' % (error_rate * 100))
if __name__ == '__main__':
tf.app.run()
This is in Python, of course, but there's no reason you couldn't use another language (e.g. Go or C++) if you wanted to create a binary executable.
