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 neural network trained on more than a million images from the ImageNet database [1]. The pretrained neural network can classify images into 1000 object categories, such as keyboard, mouse, pencil, and many animals. As a result, the neural network has learned rich feature representations for a wide range of images. The neural network has an image input size of 224-by-224. For more pretrained neural 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 neural 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 neural network suitable for image classification tasks, use resnetLayers.

example

net = resnet50 returns a ResNet-50 neural 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 neural network trained on the ImageNet data set. This syntax is equivalent to net = resnet50.

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

Examples

collapse all

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.

  DAGNetwork with properties:

         Layers: [177×1 nnet.cnn.layer.Layer]
    Connections: [192×2 table]
