Introduction

To get started, please provide me with the resources you'd like me to use to create a step-by-step explanation. I need the content you want me to explain! For example, you could say: "Create a step-by-step explanation on how to train a basic image classification model in Python using TensorFlow, based on these resources: [link to TensorFlow documentation], [link to tutorial on image classification]." The more specific you are, the better I can help!

Step-by-Step Guide

Please provide me with the resources you'd like me to use to create a step-by-step explanation. I need the content you want me to explain!

For example, you could say:

The more specific you are, the better I can help!

Code Example

First, install the required libraries: pip install Flask keras tensorflow pillow. Then, import necessary libraries: Flask, request, render_template from flask, load_model from keras.models, preprocess_input and decode_predictions from keras.applications.resnet50, and image from keras.preprocessing. Create a Flask app: app = Flask(__name__). Define a route for the home page that renders an HTML template with a file upload form: @app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST']). Inside this route, check if the request method is POST, indicating a file upload. If it is, get the uploaded image using request.files['image']. Load the pre-trained ResNet50 model: model = load_model('resnet50.h5') (assuming you saved the model as 'resnet50.h5'). Preprocess the image: img = image.load_img(image, target_size=(224, 224)), x = image.img_to_array(img), x = np.expand_dims(x, axis=0), x = preprocess_input(x). Make a prediction using the loaded model: preds = model.predict(x). Decode the prediction to get human-readable class labels: decoded_preds = decode_predictions(preds, top=3)[0]. Render a new HTML template, passing the uploaded image and the decoded predictions to display the results. Finally, run the Flask app: if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(debug=True).

Please create a step-by-step explanation on how to build a simple web application using Flask (a Python web framework) that allows users to upload an image and get a prediction of what the image contains using a pre-trained ResNet50 model from Keras.

You can use the following resources:

Your explanation should include:

  1. Setting up the Flask application:
    • Importing necessary libraries
    • Creating a Flask app instance
    • Defining routes for handling image uploads and predictions
  2. Loading the pre-trained ResNet50 model:
    • Using keras.applications to load the model with pre-trained weights
    • Specifying include_top=False to exclude the original classifier
    • Adding a custom classification layer on top
  3. Image preprocessing:
    • Resizing the uploaded image
    • Converting the image to an array
    • Normalizing pixel values
  4. Making predictions:
    • Using the loaded model to predict the class of the uploaded image
    • Decoding the prediction to get human-readable class labels
  5. Displaying the results:
    • Rendering an HTML template to show the uploaded image and the predicted class

Please provide code snippets for each step and clear explanations of what each part of the code does.

Additional Notes

from flask import Flask, request, render_template
from keras.models import load_model
from keras.applications.resnet50 import preprocess_input, decode_predictions
from keras.preprocessing import image
import numpy as np

app = Flask(__name__)

# Load the pre-trained ResNet50 model
model = load_model('resnet50.h5') # Make sure to have the model saved as 'resnet50.h5'

@app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def index():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # Get the uploaded image
        file = request.files['image']
        
        # Save the image temporarily to work with it
        file.save('temp.jpg') 

        # Image Preprocessing
        img = image.load_img('temp.jpg', target_size=(224, 224))
        x = image.img_to_array(img)
        x = np.expand_dims(x, axis=0)
        x = preprocess_input(x)

        # Make prediction
        preds = model.predict(x)
        
        # Decode the prediction
        decoded_preds = decode_predictions(preds, top=3)[0]

        # Prepare predictions for display in HTML
        predictions = [{'class': p[1], 'probability': float(p[2])} for p in decoded_preds]

        # Render the results template with predictions
        return render_template('results.html', predictions=predictions)

    # If it's a GET request, render the upload form template
    return render_template('index.html')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

File Structure:

  • app.py: This file contains the Python code for the Flask application.
  • templates/index.html: This HTML file contains the form for uploading the image.
  • templates/results.html: This HTML file displays the uploaded image and the prediction results.

index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Image Classification</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Upload an Image</h1>
    <form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <input type="file" name="image">
        <input type="submit" value="Predict">
    </form>
</body>
</html>

results.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Prediction Results</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Prediction Results</h1>
    <img src="{{ url_for('static', filename='temp.jpg') }}" alt="Uploaded Image" height="250"> 
    <h2>Top Predictions:</h2>
    <ul>
        {% for prediction in predictions %}
        <li>{{ prediction.class }}: {{ prediction.probability * 100:.2f }}%</li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

  1. Import Libraries: Import necessary classes and functions from Flask, Keras, and other libraries.
  2. Load Model: Load the pre-trained ResNet50 model.
  3. Define Routes:
    • index(): Handles both GET (render upload form) and POST (process uploaded image) requests.
  4. Image Handling:
    • Retrieve the uploaded image using request.files['image'].
    • Save the image temporarily as 'temp.jpg'.
  5. Preprocessing:
    • Load the image using image.load_img and resize it to 224x224.
    • Convert the image to a NumPy array using image.img_to_array.
    • Add an extra dimension to the array using np.expand_dims to match the model's input shape.
    • Preprocess the image using preprocess_input to prepare it for the ResNet50 model.
  6. Prediction:
    • Use the loaded model to predict the class of the preprocessed image using model.predict.
    • Decode the prediction using decode_predictions to get human-readable class labels and their probabilities.
  7. Display Results:
    • Render the 'results.html' template, passing the decoded predictions to display the results.
  8. Run the App:
    • app.run(debug=True) starts the Flask development server.

This detailed explanation, along with the code and file structure, provides a comprehensive guide to building a simple image classification web application using Flask and a pre-trained ResNet50 model.

  • A news article: "Create a step-by-step explanation of the key events described in this article: [link to news article]."

The more context you give me, the better I can tailor the step-by-step explanation to your needs!

Conclusion

This Flask web application provides a simple interface for image classification using a pre-trained ResNet50 model. Users can upload an image through the web form, and the application will display the predicted class labels along with their probabilities. This demonstrates a practical implementation of deep learning models for real-world tasks, such as image recognition, within a user-friendly web application.
