§ blobFromImage()

Mat cv::dnn::blobFromImage ( const Mat image,
double  scalefactor = 1.0,
const Size size = Size(),
const Scalar mean = Scalar(),
bool  swapRB = true,
bool  crop = true 
)

Creates 4-dimensional blob from image. Optionally resizes and crops image from center, subtract mean values, scales values by scalefactor, swap Blue and Red channels.

Parameters
imageinput image (with 1- or 3-channels).
sizespatial size for output image
meanscalar with mean values which are subtracted from channels. Values are intended to be in (mean-R, mean-G, mean-B) order if image has BGR ordering and swapRB is true.
scalefactormultiplier for image values.
swapRBflag which indicates that swap first and last channels in 3-channel image is necessary.
cropflag which indicates whether image will be cropped after resize or not

if crop is true, input image is resized so one side after resize is equal to corresponing dimension in size and another one is equal or larger. Then, crop from the center is performed. If crop is false, direct resize without cropping and preserving aspect ratio is performed.

Returns
4-dimansional Mat with NCHW dimensions order.

§ blobFromImages()

Mat cv::dnn::blobFromImages ( const std::vector< Mat > &  images,
double  scalefactor = 1.0,
Size  size = Size(),
const Scalar mean = Scalar(),
bool  swapRB = true,
bool  crop = true 
)

Creates 4-dimensional blob from series of images. Optionally resizes and crops images from center, subtract mean values, scales values by scalefactor, swap Blue and Red channels.

Parameters
imagesinput images (all with 1- or 3-channels).
sizespatial size for output image
meanscalar with mean values which are subtracted from channels. Values are intended to be in (mean-R, mean-G, mean-B) order if image has BGR ordering and swapRB is true.
scalefactormultiplier for images values.
swapRBflag which indicates that swap first and last channels in 3-channel image is necessary.
cropflag which indicates whether image will be cropped after resize or not

if crop is true, input image is resized so one side after resize is equal to corresponing dimension in size and another one is equal or larger. Then, crop from the center is performed. If crop is false, direct resize without cropping and preserving aspect ratio is performed.

Returns
4-dimansional Mat with NCHW dimensions order.

§ createCaffeImporter()

Ptr<Importer> cv::dnn::createCaffeImporter ( const String prototxt,
const String caffeModel = String() 
)

Creates the importer of Caffe framework network.

Deprecated:
Use readNetFromCaffe instead.
Parameters
prototxtpath to the .prototxt file with text description of the network architecture.
caffeModelpath to the .caffemodel file with learned network.
Returns
Pointer to the created importer, NULL in failure cases.

§ createTensorflowImporter()

Ptr<Importer> cv::dnn::createTensorflowImporter ( const String model)

Creates the importer of TensorFlow framework network.

Deprecated:
Use readNetFromTensorflow instead.
Parameters
modelpath to the .pb file with binary protobuf description of the network architecture.
Returns
Pointer to the created importer, NULL in failure cases.

§ createTorchImporter()

Ptr<Importer> cv::dnn::createTorchImporter ( const String filename,
bool  isBinary = true 
)

Creates the importer of Torch7 framework network.

Deprecated:
Use readNetFromTorch instead.
Parameters
filenamepath to the file, dumped from Torch by using torch.save() function.
isBinaryspecifies whether the network was serialized in ascii mode or binary.
Returns
Pointer to the created importer, NULL in failure cases.
Warning
Torch7 importer is experimental now, you need explicitly set CMake opencv_dnn_BUILD_TORCH_IMPORTER flag to compile its.
Note
Ascii mode of Torch serializer is more preferable, because binary mode extensively use long type of C language, which has various bit-length on different systems.

The loading file must contain serialized nn.Module object with importing network. Try to eliminate a custom objects from serialazing data to avoid importing errors.

List of supported layers (i.e. object instances derived from Torch nn.Module class):

  • nn.Sequential
  • nn.Parallel
  • nn.Concat
  • nn.Linear
  • nn.SpatialConvolution
  • nn.SpatialMaxPooling, nn.SpatialAveragePooling
  • nn.ReLU, nn.TanH, nn.Sigmoid
  • nn.Reshape
  • nn.SoftMax, nn.LogSoftMax

Also some equivalents of these classes from cunn, cudnn, and fbcunn may be successfully imported.

§ readNetFromCaffe()

Net cv::dnn::readNetFromCaffe ( const String prototxt,
const String caffeModel = String() 
)

Reads a network model stored in Caffe model files.

This is shortcut consisting from createCaffeImporter and Net::populateNet calls.

§ readNetFromDarknet()

Net cv::dnn::readNetFromDarknet ( const String cfgFile,
const String darknetModel = String() 
)

Reads a network model stored in Darknet model files.

Parameters
cfgFilepath to the .cfg file with text description of the network architecture.
darknetModelpath to the .weights file with learned network.
Returns
Network object that ready to do forward, throw an exception in failure cases.

This is shortcut consisting from DarknetImporter and Net::populateNet calls.

§ readNetFromTensorflow()

Net cv::dnn::readNetFromTensorflow ( const String model,
const String config = String() 
)

Reads a network model stored in Tensorflow model file.

This is shortcut consisting from createTensorflowImporter and Net::populateNet calls.

§ readNetFromTorch()

Net cv::dnn::readNetFromTorch ( const String model,
bool  isBinary = true 
)

Reads a network model stored in Torch model file.

This is shortcut consisting from createTorchImporter and Net::populateNet calls.

§ readTorchBlob()

Mat cv::dnn::readTorchBlob ( const String filename,
bool  isBinary = true 
)

Loads blob which was serialized as torch.Tensor object of Torch7 framework.

Warning
This function has the same limitations as createTorchImporter().

§ shrinkCaffeModel()

void cv::dnn::shrinkCaffeModel ( const String src,
const String dst 
)

Convert all weights of Caffe network to half precision floating point.

Parameters
srcPath to origin model from Caffe framework contains single precision floating point weights (usually has .caffemodel extension).
dstPath to destination model with updated weights.
Note
Shrinked model has no origin float32 weights so it can't be used in origin Caffe framework anymore. However the structure of data is taken from NVidia's Caffe fork: https://github.com/NVIDIA/caffe. So the resulting model may be used there.
