Detailed Description

This class allows to create and manipulate comprehensive artificial neural networks.

Neural network is presented as directed acyclic graph (DAG), where vertices are Layer instances, and edges specify relationships between layers inputs and outputs.

Each network layer has unique integer id and unique string name inside its network. LayerId can store either layer name or layer id.

This class supports reference counting of its instances, i. e. copies point to the same instance.

Examples:

samples/dnn/colorization.cpp, samples/dnn/openpose.cpp, and samples/dnn/text_detection.cpp.

registerOutput()

int cv::dnn::Net::registerOutput	(	const std::string &	outputName,
		int	layerId,
		int	outputPort
	)

Registers network output with name.

Function may create additional 'Identity' layer.

Parameters

index of bound layer (the same as layerId or newly created)

setHalideScheduler()

void cv::dnn::Net::setHalideScheduler

(

const String &

scheduler

)

Python:
	cv.dnn.Net.setHalideScheduler(	scheduler	) ->	None

Compile Halide layers.

Parameters

[in]

scheduler

Path to YAML file with scheduling directives.

See also

setPreferableBackend

Schedule layers that support Halide backend. Then compile them for specific target. For layers that not represented in scheduling file or if no manual scheduling used at all, automatic scheduling will be applied.

setInput()

void cv::dnn::Net::setInput	(	InputArray	blob,
		const String &	name = "",
		double	scalefactor = 1.0,
		const Scalar &	mean = Scalar()
	)

Python:
	cv.dnn.Net.setInput(	blob[, name[, scalefactor[, mean]]]	) ->	None

Sets the new input value for the network.

Parameters

blob	A new blob. Should have CV_32F or CV_8U depth.
name	A name of input layer.
scalefactor	An optional normalization scale.
mean	An optional mean subtraction values.

See also

connect(String, String) to know format of the descriptor.

If scale or mean values are specified, a final input blob is computed as:

\[input(n,c,h,w) = scalefactor \times (blob(n,c,h,w) - mean_c)\]

Examples:

samples/dnn/colorization.cpp, samples/dnn/openpose.cpp, and samples/dnn/text_detection.cpp.

void cv::dnn::Net::setInputShape	(	const String &	inputName,

Specify shape of network input.

setInputsNames()

void cv::dnn::Net::setInputsNames

(

const std::vector< String > &

inputBlobNames

)

Python:
	cv.dnn.Net.setInputsNames(	inputBlobNames	) ->	None

Sets outputs names of the network input pseudo layer.

Each net always has special own the network input pseudo layer with id=0. This layer stores the user blobs only and don't make any computations. In fact, this layer provides the only way to pass user data into the network. As any other layer, this layer can label its outputs and this function provides an easy way to do this.

setParam() [1/2]

Python:
	cv.dnn.Net.setParam(	layer, numParam, blob	) ->	None
	cv.dnn.Net.setParam(	layerName, numParam, blob	) ->	None

Sets the new value for the learned param of the layer.

Parameters

layer	name or id of the layer.
numParam	index of the layer parameter in the Layer::blobs array.
blob	the new value.

Layer::blobs

Note

If shape of the new blob differs from the previous shape, then the following forward pass may fail.
