This bootstraps the training of deep convolutional neural networks with Keras to classify images in the Oxford 102 category flower dataset.

Train process is fully automated and the best weights will be saved.

The code can be used for any dataset, just follow the original files structure in data/sorted directory after running bootstrap.py. If you want to store your dataset somewhere else, you can do it and run train.py with setting a path to dataset with a special parameter --data_dir==/full/path/to/your/sorted/data

Dataset directory's structure

Notice: for ResNet152 you should download weights manually here and put them under the project_directory/weights

• bootstrap.py: downloads the Oxford 102 dataset and prepare image files
• train.py: starts end-to-end training process
• server.py: a small python server based on sockets and designed to keep a model in memory for fast recognition requests
• client.py: a client that sends requests to server.py

python bootstrap.py

python train.py --model=resnet50

Using predict.py:

python predict.py --path "/full/path/to/image" --model=resnet50

Using server.py + client.py:

1. run server and wait till model is loaded. Do not break server, it should be run and listen for incoming connections

python server.py --model=resnet50

2. send requests using client

python client.py --path "/full/path/to/image"
