Image recognition (Face/object), part2

On the previous post we had discussed on the notion of installing a python lib to be used to match faces from a known directory of images. This time, we will be working with identifying images as physical objects with a predefined known DB file rather than matching faces.

We have to install quite a few python libraries this time around in order to start matching objects in an given image with a database of predefined items.

pip3 install --user tensorflow
pip3 install --user numpy
pip3 install --user scipy
pip3 install --user opencv-python
pip3 install --user matplotlib
pip3 install --user h5py
pip3 install --user keras
pip3 install --user imageai
wget https://github.com/fchollet/deep-learning-models/releases/download/v0.2/resnet50_weights_tf_dim_ordering_tf_kernels.h5

I've downloaded this particular 100MB file to the Download directory and pulled an arbitary banana image file as my test into a /var/tmp directory location.

from imageai.Prediction import ImagePrediction
import os

execution_path = os.getcwd()
prediction = ImagePrediction()
prediction.setModelTypeAsResNet()
prediction.setModelPath( execution_path + "/Downloads/resnet50_weights_tf_dim_ordering_tf_kernels.h5")
prediction.loadModel()


predictions, percentage_probabilities = prediction.predictImage("/var/tmp/Bananas.jpg", result_count=5)

for index in range(len(predictions)):
    print(predictions[index] , " : " , percentage_probabilities[index])
# results are as follows

There is something with tensorflow where this CPU cant seem to run, apparently. Ignore those two warning messages and read the bottom 6 lines. Its comical that using this AI image library, it was able to identify this banana.jpg file with pretty high accuracy. again, i did the opposite with this software to match to see if this application would know a person's name or title by reading a jpg file with a facial image. After using one of the images from the previous post, it was able to identify a tie and a suit with 95% certainly but not the person's name nor their title. 

In term of facial recognition, image object AI when using a predefined DB has its own limitations when trying to ID a face. There doesnt seem to be a software, which can do both: facial recognition and ID-ing objects.
