◆ blobFromImage() [1/2]

Mat cv::dnn::blobFromImage ( InputArray  image,
double  scalefactor = 1.0,
const Size size = Size(),
const Scalar mean = Scalar(),
bool  swapRB = false,
bool  crop = false,
int  ddepth = CV_32F 
)
Python:
retval=cv.dnn.blobFromImage(image[, scalefactor[, size[, mean[, swapRB[, crop[, ddepth]]]]]])

#include <opencv2/dnn/dnn.hpp>

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-, 3- or 4-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
ddepthDepth of output blob. Choose CV_32F or CV_8U.

if crop is true, input image is resized so one side after resize is equal to corresponding 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-dimensional Mat with NCHW dimensions order.

bufferin-memory buffer that stores the ONNX model bytes.
Returns
Network object that ready to do forward, throw an exception in failure cases.

◆ readNetFromTensorflow() [1/3]

Net cv::dnn::readNetFromTensorflow ( const String model,
const String config = String() 
)
Python:
retval=cv.dnn.readNetFromTensorflow(model[, config])
retval=cv.dnn.readNetFromTensorflow(bufferModel[, bufferConfig])

#include <opencv2/dnn/dnn.hpp>

Reads a network model stored in TensorFlow framework's format.

Parameters
modelpath to the .pb file with binary protobuf description of the network architecture
configpath to the .pbtxt file that contains text graph definition in protobuf format. Resulting Net object is built by text graph using weights from a binary one that let us make it more flexible.
Returns
Net object.

◆ readNetFromTensorflow() [2/3]

Net cv::dnn::readNetFromTensorflow ( const std::vector< uchar > &  bufferModel,
const std::vector< uchar > &  bufferConfig = std::vector< uchar >() 
)
Python:
retval=cv.dnn.readNetFromTensorflow(model[, config])
retval=cv.dnn.readNetFromTensorflow(bufferModel[, bufferConfig])

#include <opencv2/dnn/dnn.hpp>

Reads a network model stored in TensorFlow framework's format.

Parameters
bufferModelbuffer containing the content of the pb file
bufferConfigbuffer containing the content of the pbtxt file
Returns
Net object.

◆ readNetFromTensorflow() [3/3]

Net cv::dnn::readNetFromTensorflow ( const char *  bufferModel,
size_t  lenModel,
const char *  bufferConfig = NULL,
size_t  lenConfig = 0 
)
Python:
retval=cv.dnn.readNetFromTensorflow(model[, config])
retval=cv.dnn.readNetFromTensorflow(bufferModel[, bufferConfig])

#include <opencv2/dnn/dnn.hpp>

Reads a network model stored in TensorFlow framework's format.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters
bufferModelbuffer containing the content of the pb file
lenModellength of bufferModel
bufferConfigbuffer containing the content of the pbtxt file
lenConfiglength of bufferConfig

◆ readNetFromTorch()

Net cv::dnn::readNetFromTorch ( const String model,
bool  isBinary = true,
bool  evaluate = true 
)
Python:
retval=cv.dnn.readNetFromTorch(model[, isBinary[, evaluate]])

#include <opencv2/dnn/dnn.hpp>

Reads a network model stored in Torch7 framework's format.

Parameters
modelpath to the file, dumped from Torch by using torch.save() function.
isBinaryspecifies whether the network was serialized in ascii mode or binary.
evaluatespecifies testing phase of network. If true, it's similar to evaluate() method in Torch.
Returns
Net object.
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.

◆ readTensorFromONNX()

Mat cv::dnn::readTensorFromONNX ( const String path)
Python:
retval=cv.dnn.readTensorFromONNX(path)

#include <opencv2/dnn/dnn.hpp>

Creates blob from .pb file.

Parameters
pathto the .pb file with input tensor.
Returns
Mat.

◆ readTorchBlob()

Mat cv::dnn::readTorchBlob ( const String filename,
bool  isBinary = true 
)
Python:
retval=cv.dnn.readTorchBlob(filename[, isBinary])

#include <opencv2/dnn/dnn.hpp>

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

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

◆ shrinkCaffeModel()

void cv::dnn::shrinkCaffeModel ( const String src,
const String dst,
const std::vector< String > &  layersTypes = std::vector< String >() 
)
Python:
None=cv.dnn.shrinkCaffeModel(src, dst[, layersTypes])

#include <opencv2/dnn/dnn.hpp>

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.
layersTypesSet of layers types which parameters will be converted. By default, converts only Convolutional and Fully-Connected layers' 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.

◆ writeTextGraph()

void cv::dnn::writeTextGraph ( const String model,
const String output 
)
Python:
None=cv.dnn.writeTextGraph(model, output)

#include <opencv2/dnn/dnn.hpp>

Create a text representation for a binary network stored in protocol buffer format.

Parameters
[in]modelA path to binary network.
[in]outputA path to output text file to be created.
Note
To reduce output file size, trained weights are not included.
