predict

Compute deep learning network output for inference by using a TensorFlow Lite model

collapse all in page

Syntax

Y = predict(net,X)
[Y1,...,YN] = predict(net,X)

Description

example

Y = predict(net,X) returns the network output Y during inference given the input data X and the network net with a single input and a single output.

[Y1,...,YN] = predict(net,X) returns the N outputs Y1, …, YN during inference for networks that have N outputs.

Tip

For prediction with SeriesNetwork and DAGNetwork objects, see predict.

Examples

Suppose that your current working directory contains a TensorFlow™ Lite Model named mobilenet_v1_0.5_224.tflite.

Load the model by using the loadTFLite function. Inspect the object this function creates.

net = loadTFLiteModel('mobilenet_v1_0.5_224.tflite');
disp(net)
  TFLiteModel with properties:

            ModelName: 'mobilenet_v1_0.5_224.tflite'
            NumInputs: 1
           NumOutputs: 1
            InputSize: {[224 224 3]}
           OutputSize: {[1001 1]}
           NumThreads: 8
                 Mean: 127.5000
    StandardDeviation: 127.5000

Create a MATLAB® function that can perform inference using the object net. This function loads the Mobilenet-V1 model into a persistent network object. Then the function performs prediction by passing the network object to the predict function. Subsequent calls to this function reuse this the persistent object.

function out = tflite_predict(in)
persistent net;
if isempty(net)
    net = loadTFLiteModel('mobilenet_v1_0.5_224.tflite');
end
out = predict(net,in);
end

Input Arguments

collapse all

TFLiteModel object that represents the TensorFlow Lite model file.

Image or sequence input to the network, specified as a numeric array.

  • For image classification networks, the input must be of shape (H,W,C,N), where H is height, W is width, C is channel, and N is batch size.

  • For recurrent neural networks, the input must be of shape (D, N, S), where D is channel or feature dimension, N is batch size, and S is timestamp or sequence length.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Output data, specified as a numeric array.

When performing inference with quantized TensorFlow Lite models, the output data is normalized in one of these ways:

  • Signed 8-bit integer type outputs are normalized as output[i] = (prediction[i] + 128) / 256.0.

  • Unsigned 8-bit integer type outputs are normalized as output[i] = prediction[i] / 255.0.
