Pretrained Classification CNNs

Deep convolutional neural networks often require considerable computation resources to train. The good news is some deep CNNs trained on the ImageNet database (a large image dataset) are freely available for download. Their value in the context of automated inspection will become evident when we discuss transfer learning.

Let’s see what we can do with pretrained classification CNNs.

GoogLeNet

GoogLeNet is an architecture developed by Google, that won the ImageNet Large-Scale Visual Recognition Challenge 2014. It can be downloaded and cached with the following code:
