# PaddleClas wheel package

PaddleClas supports Python wheel package for prediction. At present, PaddleClas wheel supports image classification including ImagetNet1k models and PULC models, but does not support mainbody detection, feature extraction and vector retrieval.

## 1. Installation

* **[Recommended]** Installing from PyPI:

```bash
pip3 install paddleclas
```

* Please build and install locally if you need to use the develop branch of PaddleClas to experience the latest functions, or need to redevelop based on PaddleClas. The command is as follows:

```bash
python3 setup.py install
```

## 2. Quick Start

### 2.1 ImageNet1k models

Using the `ResNet50` model provided by PaddleClas, the following image(`'docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'`) as an example.

![](../../images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg)

* Python
```python
from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50')
infer_imgs='docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))
```

**Note**: `PaddleClas.predict()` is a `generator`. Therefore you need to use `next()` or `for` call it iteratively. It will perform a prediction by `batch_size` and return the prediction result(s) when called. Examples of returned results are as follows:

```
>>> result
[{'class_ids': [8, 7, 86, 82, 80], 'scores': [0.97968, 0.02028, 3e-05, 1e-05, 0.0], 'label_names': ['hen', 'cock', 'partridge', 'ruffed grouse, partridge, Bonasa umbellus', 'black grouse'], 'filename': 'docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'}]
```

* CLI
```bash
paddleclas --model_name=ResNet50  --infer_imgs="docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg"
```

```
>>> result
class_ids: [8, 7, 86, 82, 80], scores: [0.97968, 0.02028, 3e-05, 1e-05, 0.0], label_names: ['hen', 'cock', 'partridge', 'ruffed grouse, partridge, Bonasa umbellus', 'black grouse'], filename: docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg
Predict complete!
```

### 2.2 PULC models

PULC integrates various state-of-the-art algorithms such as backbone network, data augmentation and distillation, etc., and finally can automatically obtain a lightweight and high-precision image classification model.

PaddleClas provides a series of test cases, which contain demos of different scenes about people, cars, OCR, etc. Click [here](https://paddleclas.bj.bcebos.com/data/PULC/pulc_demo_imgs.zip) to download the data.

Prection using the PULC "Human Exists Classification" model provided by PaddleClas:

* Python

```python
import paddleclas
model = paddleclas.PaddleClas(model_name="person_exists")
result = model.predict(input_data="pulc_demo_imgs/person_exists/objects365_01780782.jpg")
print(next(result))
```

```
>>> result
[{'class_ids': [0], 'scores': [0.9955421453341842], 'label_names': ['nobody'], 'filename': 'pulc_demo_imgs/person_exists/objects365_01780782.jpg'}]
```

`Nobody` means there is no one in the image, `someone` means there is someone in the image. Therefore, the prediction result indicates that there is no one in the figure.

**Note**: `model.predict()` is a generator, so `next()` or `for` is needed to call it. This would to predict by batch that length is `batch_size`, default by 1. You can specify the argument `batch_size` and `model_name` when instantiating PaddleClas object, for example: `model = paddleclas.PaddleClas(model_name="person_exists",  batch_size=2)`. Please refer to [Supported Model List](#PULC_Models) for the supported model list.

* CLI

```bash
paddleclas --model_name=person_exists --infer_imgs=pulc_demo_imgs/person_exists/objects365_01780782.jpg
```

```
>>> result
class_ids: [0], scores: [0.9955421453341842], label_names: ['nobody'], filename: pulc_demo_imgs/person_exists/objects365_01780782.jpg
Predict complete!
```

**Note**: The "--infer_imgs" argument specify the image(s) to be predict, and you can also specify a directoy contains images. If use other model, you can specify the `--model_name` argument. Please refer to [Supported Model List](#PULC_Models) for the supported model list.

* Python
```python
from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50')
infer_imgs = 'docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))
```

* CLI
```bash
paddleclas --model_name='ResNet50' --infer_imgs='docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'
```

<a name="4.3"></a>

### 4.3 Prediction using local model files
You can use the local model files trained by yourself to predict, and only need to specify `inference_model_dir`. Note that the directory must contain `inference.pdmodel` and `inference.pdiparams`.

* Python
```python
from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(inference_model_dir='./inference/')
infer_imgs = 'docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))
```

* CLI
```bash
paddleclas --inference_model_dir='./inference/' --infer_imgs='docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'
```

<a name="4.4"></a>

### 4.4 Prediction by batch
You can predict by batch, only need to specify `batch_size` when `infer_imgs` is direcotry contain image files.

* Python
```python
from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50', batch_size=2)
infer_imgs = 'docs/images/'
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
for r in result:
    print(r)
```

* CLI
```bash
paddleclas --model_name='ResNet50' --infer_imgs='docs/images/' --batch_size 2
```

<a name="4.5"></a>

### 4.5 Prediction of Internet image
You can predict the Internet image, only need to specify URL of Internet image by `infer_imgs`. In this case, the image file will be downloaded and saved in the directory `~/.paddleclas/images/`.

* Python
```python
from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50')
infer_imgs = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paddlepaddle/paddleclas/release/2.2/docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))
```

* CLI
```bash

### 4.6 Prediction of NumPy.array format image
In Python code, you can predict the `NumPy.array` format image, only need to use the `infer_imgs` to transfer variable of image data. Note that the models in PaddleClas only support to predict 3 channels image data, and channels order is `RGB`.

* python
```python
import cv2
from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50')
infer_imgs = cv2.imread("docs/en/inference_deployment/whl_deploy_en.md")[:, :, ::-1]
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))
```

<a name="4.7"></a>

### 4.7 Save the prediction result(s)
You can save the prediction result(s) as pre-label, only need to use `pre_label_out_dir` to specify the directory to save.

* python
```python
from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50', save_dir='./output_pre_label/')
infer_imgs = 'docs/images/' # it can be infer_imgs folder path which contains all of images you want to predict.
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))
```

* CLI
```bash
paddleclas --model_name='ResNet50' --infer_imgs='docs/images/' --save_dir='./output_pre_label/'
```

<a name="4.8"></a>

### 4.8 Specify the mapping between class id and label name
You can specify the mapping between class id and label name, only need to use `class_id_map_file` to specify the mapping file. PaddleClas uses ImageNet1K's mapping by default.

The content format of mapping file shall be:

```
class_id<space>class_name<\n>
```

For example:

```
0 tench, Tinca tinca
1 goldfish, Carassius auratus
2 great white shark, white shark, man-eater, man-eating shark, Carcharodon carcharias
......
```

* Python
```python
from paddleclas import PaddleClas
clas = PaddleClas(model_name='ResNet50', class_id_map_file='./ppcls/utils/imagenet1k_label_list.txt')
infer_imgs = 'docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg'
result=clas.predict(infer_imgs)
print(next(result))
```

* CLI
```bash
paddleclas --model_name='ResNet50' --infer_imgs='docs/images/inference_deployment/whl_demo.jpg' --class_id_map_file='./ppcls/utils/imagenet1k_label_list.txt'
```
