Syntax

net = loadTFLiteModel(modelFileName)

Description

example

net = loadTFLiteModel(modelFileName) loads a pretrained TensorFlow™ Lite model file modelFileName and returns a TFLiteModel object.

Use this TFLiteModel object with the predict function in your MATLAB® code to perform inference in MATLAB execution, code generation, or MATLAB Function block in Simulink® models. For more information, see Prerequisites for Deep Learning with TensorFlow Lite Models.

To use this function, you must install the Deep Learning Toolbox Interface for TensorFlow Lite support package.

Examples

Suppose that your current working directory contains a TensorFlow Lite Model named mobilenet_v1_0.5_224.tflite.

Load the model by using the loadTFLite function. Inspect the object this function creates.

net = loadTFLiteModel('mobilenet_v1_0.5_224.tflite');
disp(net)
  TFLiteModel with properties:
            ModelName: 'mobilenet_v1_0.5_224.tflite'
            NumInputs: 1
           NumOutputs: 1
            InputSize: {[224 224 3]}
           OutputSize: {[1001 1]}
           NumThreads: 8
                 Mean: 127.5000
    StandardDeviation: 127.5000

Create a MATLAB function that can perform inference using the object net. This function loads the Mobilenet-V1 model into a persistent network object. Then the function performs prediction by passing the network object to the predict function. Subsequent calls to this function reuse this the persistent object.

function out = tflite_predict(in)
persistent net;
if isempty(net)
    net = loadTFLiteModel('mobilenet_v1_0.5_224.tflite');
end
out = predict(net,in);
end

For an example that shows how to generate code for this function and deploy on Raspberry Pi® hardware, see Generate Code for TensorFlow Lite (TFLite) Model and Deploy on Raspberry Pi.

Note

By default, the Mean and StandardDeviation properties of a TFLiteModel object are both set to 127.5. To change these default values after you create the object, make assignments by using the dot notation. For example:

net.Mean = 0;
net.StandardDeviation = 1;

If the input data is not normalized, you must set Mean to 0 and StandardDeviation to 1. Otherwise, set these properties based on how the input data is normalized.
