Project: Write an Algorithm for a Dog Identification App
In this notebook, some template code has already been provided for you, and you will need to implement additional functionality to successfully complete this project. You will not need to modify the included code beyond what is requested. Sections that begin with '(IMPLEMENTATION)' in the header indicate that the following block of code will require additional functionality which you must provide. Instructions will be provided for each section, and the specifics of the implementation are marked in the code block with a 'TODO' statement. Please be sure to read the instructions carefully!
Note: Once you have completed all of the code implementations, you need to finalize your work by exporting the Jupyter Notebook as an HTML document. Before exporting the notebook to html, all of the code cells need to have been run so that reviewers can see the final implementation and output. You can then export the notebook by using the menu above and navigating to File -> Download as -> HTML (.html). Include the finished document along with this notebook as your submission.
In addition to implementing code, there will be questions that you must answer which relate to the project and your implementation. Each section where you will answer a question is preceded by a 'Question X' header. Carefully read each question and provide thorough answers in the following text boxes that begin with 'Answer:'. Your project submission will be evaluated based on your answers to each of the questions and the implementation you provide.
Note: Code and Markdown cells can be executed using the Shift + Enter keyboard shortcut. Markdown cells can be edited by double-clicking the cell to enter edit mode.
The rubric contains optional "Stand Out Suggestions" for enhancing the project beyond the minimum requirements. If you decide to pursue the "Stand Out Suggestions", you should include the code in this Jupyter notebook.
Why We're Here
In this notebook, you will make the first steps towards developing an algorithm that could be used as part of a mobile or web app. At the end of this project, your code will accept any user-supplied image as input. If a dog is detected in the image, it will provide an estimate of the dog's breed. If a human is detected, it will provide an estimate of the dog breed that is most resembling. The image below displays potential sample output of your finished project (... but we expect that each student's algorithm will behave differently!).
In this real-world setting, you will need to piece together a series of models to perform different tasks; for instance, the algorithm that detects humans in an image will be different from the CNN that infers dog breed. There are many points of possible failure, and no perfect algorithm exists. Your imperfect solution will nonetheless create a fun user experience!
The Road Ahead
We break the notebook into separate steps. Feel free to use the links below to navigate the notebook.
Make sure that you've downloaded the required human and dog datasets:
Note: if you are using the Udacity workspace, you DO NOT need to re-download these - they can be found in the /data folder as noted in the cell below.
Download the dog dataset. Unzip the folder and place it in this project's home directory, at the location /dog_images.
Download the human dataset. Unzip the folder and place it in the home directory, at location /lfw.
Note: If you are using a Windows machine, you are encouraged to use 7zip to extract the folder.
In the code cell below, we save the file paths for both the human (LFW) dataset and dog dataset in the numpy arrays human_files and dog_files.
importnumpyasnp
fromglobimportglob
# load filenames for human and dog imageshuman_files=np.array(glob("/data/lfw/*/*"))dog_files=np.array(glob("/data/dog_images/*/*/*"))# print number of images in each datasetprint('There are %d total human images.'%len(human_files))print('There are %d total dog images.'%len(dog_files))
There are 13233 total human images.
There are 8351 total dog images.
OpenCV provides many pre-trained face detectors, stored as XML files ongithub. We have downloaded one of these detectors and stored it in thehaarcascadesdirectory. In the next code cell, we demonstrate how to use this detector to find human faces in a sample image.
importcv2importmatplotlib.pyplotasplt%matplotlib inline
# extract pre-trained face detectorface_cascade=cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml')# load color (BGR) imageimg=cv2.imread(human_files[0])# convert BGR image to grayscalegray=cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)# find faces in imagefaces=face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray)# print number of faces detected in the imageprint('Number of faces detected:',len(faces))# get bounding box for each detected facefor(x,y,w,h)infaces:# add bounding box to color imagecv2.rectangle(img,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2)# convert BGR image to RGB for plottingcv_rgb=cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)# display the image, along with bounding boxplt.imshow(cv_rgb)plt.show()
Number of faces detected: 1
Before using any of the face detectors, it is standard procedure to convert the images to grayscale. The detectMultiScale function executes the classifier stored in face_cascade and takes the grayscale image as a parameter.
In the above code, faces is a numpy array of detected faces, where each row corresponds to a detected face. Each detected face is a 1D array with four entries that specifies the bounding box of the detected face. The first two entries in the array (extracted in the above code as x and y) specify the horizontal and vertical positions of the top left corner of the bounding box. The last two entries in the array (extracted here as w and h) specify the width and height of the box.
Write a Human Face Detector
We can use this procedure to write a function that returns True if a human face is detected in an image and False otherwise. This function, aptly named face_detector, takes a string-valued file path to an image as input and appears in the code block below.
# returns "True" if face is detected in image stored at img_pathdefface_detector(img_path):img=cv2.imread(img_path)gray=cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)faces=face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray)returnlen(faces)>0
(IMPLEMENTATION) Assess the Human Face Detector
Question 1: Use the code cell below to test the performance of the face_detector function.
What percentage of the first 100 images in human_files have a detected human face?
What percentage of the first 100 images in dog_files have a detected human face?
Ideally, we would like 100% of human images with a detected face and 0% of dog images with a detected face. You will see that our algorithm falls short of this goal, but still gives acceptable performance. We extract the file paths for the first 100 images from each of the datasets and store them in the numpy arrays human_files_short and dog_files_short.
Answer: (You can print out your results and/or write your percentages in this cell)
fromtqdmimporttqdmhuman_files_short=human_files[:100]dog_files_short=dog_files[:100]#-#-# Do NOT modify the code above this line. #-#-### TODO: Test the performance of the=0-97h . 567u . face_detector algorithm ## on the images in human_files_short and dog_files_short.human_faces=[face_detector(image)forimageinhuman_files_short].count(True)/len(human_files_short)dog_faces=[face_detector(image)forimageindog_files_short].count(True)/len(dog_files_short)print('percentage of faces in face images {0:.0%}'.format(human_faces))print('percentage of faces in dog images {0:.0%}'.format(dog_faces))
percentage of faces in face images 98%
percentage of faces in dog images 17%
We suggest the face detector from OpenCV as a potential way to detect human images in your algorithm, but you are free to explore other approaches, especially approaches that make use of deep learning :). Please use the code cell below to design and test your own face detection algorithm. If you decide to pursue this optional task, report performance on human_files_short and dog_files_short.
### (Optional) ### TODO: Test performance of anotherface detection algorithm.### Feel free to use as many code cells as needed.
Step 2: Detect Dogs
In this section, we use a pre-trained model to detect dogs in images.
Obtain Pre-trained VGG-16 Model
The code cell below downloads the VGG-16 model, along with weights that have been trained on ImageNet, a very large, very popular dataset used for image classification and other vision tasks. ImageNet contains over 10 million URLs, each linking to an image containing an object from one of 1000 categories.
importtorchimporttorchvision.modelsasmodels# define VGG16 modelVGG16=models.vgg16(pretrained=True)# check if CUDA is availableuse_cuda=torch.cuda.is_available()# move model to GPU if CUDA is availableifuse_cuda:VGG16=VGG16.cuda()
Given an image, this pre-trained VGG-16 model returns a prediction (derived from the 1000 possible categories in ImageNet) for the object that is contained in the image.
(IMPLEMENTATION) Making Predictions with a Pre-trained Model
In the next code cell, you will write a function that accepts a path to an image (such as 'dogImages/train/001.Affenpinscher/Affenpinscher_00001.jpg') as input and returns the index corresponding to the ImageNet class that is predicted by the pre-trained VGG-16 model. The output should always be an integer between 0 and 999, inclusive.
Before writing the function, make sure that you take the time to learn how to appropriately pre-process tensors for pre-trained models in the PyTorch documentation.
fromPILimportImageimporttorchvision.transformsastransformsvgg_transform=transforms.Compose([transforms.Resize(255),transforms.CenterCrop((224,224)),transforms.ToTensor(),transforms.Normalize([0.485,0.456,0.406],[0.229,0.224,0.225])])defVGG16_predict(img_path):''' Use pre-trained VGG-16 model to obtain index corresponding to predicted ImageNet class for image at specified path Args: img_path: path to an image Returns: Index corresponding to VGG-16 model's prediction '''## TODO: Complete the function.## Load and pre-process an image from the given img_path## Return the *index* of the predicted class for that imageimg=Image.open(img_path)image=vgg_transform(img).unsqueeze(0).cuda()output=VGG16(image)_,predicted=torch.max(output,1)index=int(predicted.data)returnindex# predicted class index
While looking at the dictionary, you will notice that the categories corresponding to dogs appear in an uninterrupted sequence and correspond to dictionary keys 151-268, inclusive, to include all categories from 'Chihuahua' to 'Mexican hairless'. Thus, in order to check to see if an image is predicted to contain a dog by the pre-trained VGG-16 model, we need only check if the pre-trained model predicts an index between 151 and 268 (inclusive).
Use these ideas to complete the dog_detector function below, which returns True if a dog is detected in an image (and False if not).
### returns "True" if a dog is detected in the image stored at img_pathdefdog_detector(img_path):## TODO: Complete the function.ifVGG16_predict(img_path)inrange(151,269):returnTruereturnFalse
Question 2: Use the code cell below to test the performance of your dog_detector function.
What percentage of the images in human_files_short have a detected dog?
What percentage of the images in dog_files_short have a detected dog?
Answer:
### TODO: Test the performance of the dog_detector function### on the images in human_files_short and dog_files_short.dog_det_dog_short=[dog_detector(image)forimageindog_files_short].count(True)/len(dog_files_short)dog_det_human_short=[dog_detector(image)forimageinhuman_files_short].count(True)/len(human_files_short)
In [12]:
print('detected dogs in dog images {0:.0%}'.format(dog_det_dog_short))print('detected dogs in human images {0:.0%}'.format(dog_det_human_short))
detected dogs in dog images 100%
detected dogs in human images 0%
We suggest VGG-16 as a potential network to detect dog images in your algorithm, but you are free to explore other pre-trained networks (such as Inception-v3, ResNet-50, etc). Please use the code cell below to test other pre-trained PyTorch models. If you decide to pursue this optional task, report performance on human_files_short and dog_files_short.
In [13]:
### (Optional) ### TODO: Report the performance of another pre-trained network.### Feel free to use as many code cells as needed.
Step 3: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (from Scratch)
Now that we have functions for detecting humans and dogs in images, we need a way to predict breed from images. In this step, you will create a CNN that classifies dog breeds. You must create your CNN from scratch (so, you can't use transfer learning yet!), and you must attain a test accuracy of at least 10%. In Step 4 of this notebook, you will have the opportunity to use transfer learning to create a CNN that attains greatly improved accuracy.
We mention that the task of assigning breed to dogs from images is considered exceptionally challenging. To see why, consider that even a human would have trouble distinguishing between a Brittany and a Welsh Springer Spaniel.
Brittany
Welsh Springer Spaniel
It is not difficult to find other dog breed pairs with minimal inter-class variation (for instance, Curly-Coated Retrievers and American Water Spaniels).
Curly-Coated Retriever
American Water Spaniel
Likewise, recall that labradors come in yellow, chocolate, and black. Your vision-based algorithm will have to conquer this high intra-class variation to determine how to classify all of these different shades as the same breed.
Yellow Labrador | Chocolate Labrador | Black Labrador
| -||
We also mention that random chance presents an exceptionally low bar: setting aside the fact that the classes are slightly imabalanced, a random guess will provide a correct answer roughly 1 in 133 times, which corresponds to an accuracy of less than 1%.
Remember that the practice is far ahead of the theory in deep learning. Experiment with many different architectures, and trust your intuition. And, of course, have fun!
(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Data Loaders for the Dog Dataset
Use the code cell below to write three separate data loaders for the training, validation, and test datasets of dog images (located at dog_images/train, dog_images/valid, and dog_images/test, respectively). You may find this documentation on custom datasets to be a useful resource. If you are interested in augmenting your training and/or validation data, check out the wide variety of transforms!

Question 3: Describe your chosen procedure for preprocessing the data.
How does your code resize the images (by cropping, stretching, etc)? What size did you pick for the input tensor, and why?
Did you decide to augment the dataset? If so, how (through translations, flips, rotations, etc)? If not, why not?
Answer:
RandomResizedCrop(extract a patch of size (224, 224) from input image randomly.) and RandomHorizontalFlip for image augmentations and resizing (only for train data). Image augmentation will help preventing overfitting . for validation data i made Resize of (256) [image size 256*256] and center crop to make it 224 X 224.does not need any augmentation: it is to validate the trained model. For the test_data, image resizing.
(IMPLEMENTATION) Model Architecture
Create a CNN to classify dog breed. Use the template in the code cell below.

Question 4: Outline the steps you took to get to your final CNN architecture and your reasoning at each step.
Answer:i chose to apply 3 conv layers, max pooling after each layer, till the image is shrinked to 2828.
the input size to the fully connected layer is 6428*28. then we added a fully connected layer with our classes:133 dog breeds.
finally we added a dropout layer to avoid overfitting.
(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Loss Function and Optimizer
Use the next code cell to specify a loss function and optimizer. Save the chosen loss function as criterion_scratch, and the optimizer as optimizer_scratch below.

(IMPLEMENTATION) Test the Model
Try out your model on the test dataset of dog images. Use the code cell below to calculate and print the test loss and accuracy. Ensure that your test accuracy is greater than 10%.

Test Loss: 4.042701
Test Accuracy: 9% (79/836)
Step 4: Create a CNN to Classify Dog Breeds (using Transfer Learning)
You will now use transfer learning to create a CNN that can identify dog breed from images. Your CNN must attain at least 60% accuracy on the test set.(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Data Loaders for the Dog Dataset
Use the code cell below to write three separate data loaders for the training, validation, and test datasets of dog images (located at dogImages/train, dogImages/valid, and dogImages/test, respectively).
If you like, you are welcome to use the same data loaders from the previous step, when you created a CNN from scratch.
## TODO: Specify data loadersloaders_transfer=loaders_scratch.copy()
(IMPLEMENTATION) Model Architecture
Use transfer learning to create a CNN to classify dog breed. Use the code cell below, and save your initialized model as the variable model_transfer

Question 5: Outline the steps you took to get to your final CNN architecture and your reasoning at each step. Describe why you think the architecture is suitable for the current problem.
Answer: i thought that resenet might be suitable for this problem, because i wanted to use a pretrained model, which is the case with resnet 50 pretrained on imagenet dataset with 1000 images for each category. (same for VGG but i wanted to test with a deffirent network). also resnet is has more complexe architecture (more layers) images are pretty big to give it a try and train with it. Its a generally accepted principle that deeper networks are capable of learning more complex functions and representations of the input.
1- Loading in a pre-trained model (Resnet50)
2- Freeze model weights:
This model has over 23 million parameters, but we’ll train only the very last few fully-connected layers. Initially, we freeze all of the model’s weights
3- I've pull out the final Fully-connected layer and replaced with Fully-connected layer with output of 133 (dog breed)
(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Loss Function and Optimizer
Use the next code cell to specify a loss function and optimizer. Save the chosen loss function as criterion_transfer, and the optimizer as optimizer_transfer below.
# train the modelmodel_transfer=train(50,loaders_transfer,model_transfer,optimizer_transfer,criterion_transfe-pr,use_cuda,'model_transfer.pt')
# load the model that got the best validation accuracy (uncomment the line below)model_transfer.load_state_dict(torch.load('model_transfer.pt'))
(IMPLEMENTATION) Test the Model
Try out your model on the test dataset of dog images. Use the code cell below to calculate and print the test loss and accuracy. Ensure that your test accuracy is greater than 60%.
Write a function that takes an image path as input and returns the dog breed (Affenpinscher, Afghan hound, etc) that is predicted by your model.
### TODO: Write a function that takes a path to an image as input### and returns the dog breed that is predicted by the model.# list of class names by index, i.e. a name can be accessed like class_names[0]class_names=[item[4:].replace("_"," ")foriteminloaders_transfer['train'].dataset.classes]defpredict_breed_transfer(img_path):# load the image and return the predicted breedimg=Image.open(img_path)image=vgg_transform(img).unsqueeze(0).cuda()output=model_transfer(image)_,predicted=torch.max(output,1)softmax=nn.Softmax(dim=1)probs=softmax(output)prob=torch.topk(probs,1)prob=float(("{0:.2f}".format(round(float(prob[0][0]),2))))index=int(predicted.data)returnclass_names[index],prob
Write an algorithm that accepts a file path to an image and first determines whether the image contains a human, dog, or neither. Then,
if a dog is detected in the image, return the predicted breed.
if a human is detected in the image, return the resembling dog breed.
if neither is detected in the image, provide output that indicates an error.
You are welcome to write your own functions for detecting humans and dogs in images, but feel free to use the face_detector and human_detector functions developed above. You are required to use your CNN from Step 4 to predict dog breed.
Some sample output for our algorithm is provided below, but feel free to design your own user experience!
(IMPLEMENTATION) Write your Algorithm
### TODO: Write your algorithm.### Feel free to use as many code cells as needed.defrun_app(img_path):## handle cases for a human face, dog, and neither# img = Image.open(img_path)# plt.imshow(img)# plt.show()ifdog_detector(img_path)isTrue:prediction,score=predict_breed_transfer(img_path)print('dog breed: {}, {}'.format(prediction,score))elifface_detector(img_path):prediction,score=predict_breed_transfer(img_path)print('human detected similar to: {}, {}'.format(prediction,score))else:print('erroe')
In this section, you will take your new algorithm for a spin! What kind of dog does the algorithm think that you look like? If you have a dog, does it predict your dog's breed accurately? If you have a cat, does it mistakenly think that your cat is a dog?
(IMPLEMENTATION) Test Your Algorithm on Sample Images!
Test your algorithm at least six images on your computer. Feel free to use any images you like. Use at least two human and two dog images.
Question 6: Is the output better than you expected :) ? Or worse :( ? Provide at least three possible points of improvement for your algorithm.
Answer: (Three possible points for improvement)
1- The classifier is able to find if there is a dog or not in the picture(prob in pictures wherte there is no dog is very low. We stopped the model while it is still converging, training for more epochs would give better results. so first point would be more training 2- use hyper parameter tuning techniques like weight initialization, icrease/decrease learning rates, dropouts and batch size could be helpful to improve model performance. 3- try to use simpler network like vgg16/19 might converge faster also because of limited resources gpu/workers. Resnet needs more time/resources for faster converging
