Syntax

net = resnet50

net = resnet50('Weights','imagenet')

lgraph = resnet50('Weights','none')

Description

ResNet-50 is a convolutional neural network that is 50 layers deep. You can load a pretrained version of the network trained on more than a million images from the ImageNet database [1]. The pretrained network can classify images into 1000 object categories, such as keyboard, mouse, pencil, and many animals. As a result, the network has learned rich feature representations for a wide range of images. The network has an image input size of 224-by-224. For more pretrained networks in MATLAB^®, see Pretrained Deep Neural Networks.

You can use classify to classify new images using the ResNet-50 model. Follow the steps of Classify Image Using GoogLeNet and replace GoogLeNet with ResNet-50.

To retrain the network on a new classification task, follow the steps of Train Deep Learning Network to Classify New Images and load ResNet-50 instead of GoogLeNet.

Tip

To create an untrained residual network suitable for image classification tasks, use resnetLayers.

net = resnet50 returns a ResNet-50 network trained on the ImageNet data set.

This function requires the Deep Learning Toolbox™ Model for ResNet-50 Network support package. If this support package is not installed, then the function provides a download link.

net = resnet50('Weights','imagenet') returns a ResNet-50 network trained on the ImageNet data set. This syntax is equivalent to net = resnet50.

lgraph = resnet50('Weights','none') returns the untrained ResNet-50 network architecture. The untrained model does not require the support package.

Examples

Download ResNet-50 Support Package

Download and install the Deep Learning Toolbox Model for ResNet-50 Network support package.

Type resnet50 at the command line.

resnet50

If the Deep Learning Toolbox Model for ResNet-50 Network support package is not installed, then the function provides a link to the required support package in the Add-On Explorer. To install the support package, click the link, and then click Install. Check that the installation is successful by typing resnet50 at the command line. If the required support package is installed, then the function returns a DAGNetwork object.

Extended Capabilities

C/C++ Code Generation

Generate C and C++ code using MATLAB® Coder™.

For code generation, you can load the network by using the syntax net = resnet50 or by passing the resnet50 function to coder.loadDeepLearningNetwork (MATLAB Coder). For example: net = coder.loadDeepLearningNetwork('resnet50')

For more information, see Load Pretrained Networks for Code Generation (MATLAB Coder).

The syntax resnet50('Weights','none') is not supported for code generation.

GPU Code Generation

Generate CUDA® code for NVIDIA® GPUs using GPU Coder™.

Usage notes and limitations:

• For code generation, you can load the network by using the syntax net = resnet50 or by passing the resnet50 function to coder.loadDeepLearningNetwork (GPU Coder). For example: net = coder.loadDeepLearningNetwork('resnet50')
