The torchvision.models
subpackage contains definitions of models for addressing
different tasks, including: image classification, pixelwise semantic
segmentation, object detection, instance segmentation, person
keypoint detection, video classification, and optical flow.
TorchVision offers pre-trained weights for every provided architecture, using the PyTorch :mod:`torch.hub`. Instancing a pre-trained model will download its weights to a cache directory. This directory can be set using the TORCH_HOME environment variable. See :func:`torch.hub.load_state_dict_from_url` for details.
Note
The pre-trained models provided in this library may have their own licenses or terms and conditions derived from the dataset used for training. It is your responsibility to determine whether you have permission to use the models for your use case.
Note
Backward compatibility is guaranteed for loading a serialized
state_dict
to the model created using old PyTorch version.
On the contrary, loading entire saved models or serialized
ScriptModules
(serialized using older versions of PyTorch)
may not preserve the historic behaviour. Refer to the following
documentation
As of v0.13, TorchVision offers a new Multi-weight support API for loading different weights to the existing model builder methods:
from torchvision.models import resnet50, ResNet50_Weights
# Old weights with accuracy 76.130%
resnet50(weights=ResNet50_Weights.IMAGENET1K_V1)
# New weights with accuracy 80.858%
resnet50(weights=ResNet50_Weights.IMAGENET1K_V2)
# Best available weights (currently alias for IMAGENET1K_V2)
# Note that these weights may change across versions
resnet50(weights=ResNet50_Weights.DEFAULT)
# Strings are also supported
resnet50(weights="IMAGENET1K_V2")
# No weights - random initialization
resnet50(weights=None)
Migrating to the new API is very straightforward. The following method calls between the 2 APIs are all equivalent:
from torchvision.models import resnet50, ResNet50_Weights
# Using pretrained weights:
resnet50(weights=ResNet50_Weights.IMAGENET1K_V1)
resnet50(weights="IMAGENET1K_V1")
resnet50(pretrained=True) # deprecated
resnet50(True) # deprecated
# Using no weights:
resnet50(weights=None)
resnet50()
resnet50(pretrained=False) # deprecated
resnet50(False) # deprecated
Note that the pretrained
parameter is now deprecated, using it will emit warnings and will be removed on v0.15.
Before using the pre-trained models, one must preprocess the image (resize with right resolution/interpolation, apply inference transforms, rescale the values etc). There is no standard way to do this as it depends on how a given model was trained. It can vary across model families, variants or even weight versions. Using the correct preprocessing method is critical and failing to do so may lead to decreased accuracy or incorrect outputs.
All the necessary information for the inference transforms of each pre-trained
model is provided on its weights documentation. To simplify inference, TorchVision
bundles the necessary preprocessing transforms into each model weight. These are
accessible via the weight.transforms
attribute:
# Initialize the Weight Transforms
weights = ResNet50_Weights.DEFAULT
preprocess = weights.transforms()
# Apply it to the input image
img_transformed = preprocess(img)
Some models use modules which have different training and evaluation
behavior, such as batch normalization. To switch between these modes, use
model.train()
or model.eval()
as appropriate. See
:meth:`~torch.nn.Module.train` or :meth:`~torch.nn.Module.eval` for details.
# Initialize model
weights = ResNet50_Weights.DEFAULT
model = resnet50(weights=weights)
# Set model to eval mode
model.eval()
As of v0.14, TorchVision offers a new mechanism which allows listing and retrieving models and weights by their names. Here are a few examples on how to use them:
# List available models
all_models = list_models()
classification_models = list_models(module=torchvision.models)
# Initialize models
m1 = get_model("mobilenet_v3_large", weights=None)
m2 = get_model("quantized_mobilenet_v3_large", weights="DEFAULT")
# Fetch weights
weights = get_weight("MobileNet_V3_Large_QuantizedWeights.DEFAULT")
assert weights == MobileNet_V3_Large_QuantizedWeights.DEFAULT
weights_enum = get_model_weights("quantized_mobilenet_v3_large")
assert weights_enum == MobileNet_V3_Large_QuantizedWeights
weights_enum2 = get_model_weights(torchvision.models.quantization.mobilenet_v3_large)
assert weights_enum == weights_enum2
Here are the available public functions to retrieve models and their corresponding weights:
.. currentmodule:: torchvision.models
.. autosummary:: :toctree: generated/ :template: function.rst get_model get_model_weights get_weight list_models
Most pre-trained models can be accessed directly via PyTorch Hub without having TorchVision installed:
import torch
# Option 1: passing weights param as string
model = torch.hub.load("pytorch/vision", "resnet50", weights="IMAGENET1K_V2")
# Option 2: passing weights param as enum
weights = torch.hub.load("pytorch/vision", "get_weight", weights="ResNet50_Weights.IMAGENET1K_V2")
model = torch.hub.load("pytorch/vision", "resnet50", weights=weights)
You can also retrieve all the available weights of a specific model via PyTorch Hub by doing:
import torch
weight_enum = torch.hub.load("pytorch/vision", "get_model_weights", name="resnet50")
print([weight for weight in weight_enum])
The only exception to the above are the detection models included on :mod:`torchvision.models.detection`. These models require TorchVision to be installed because they depend on custom C++ operators.
