DenseNet-Keras with ImageNet Pretrained Models

This is an Keras implementation of DenseNet with ImageNet pretrained weights. The weights are converted from Caffe Models. The implementation supports both Theano and TensorFlow backends.

Pretrained DenseNet Models on ImageNet

The top-1/5 accuracy rates by using single center crop (crop size: 224x224, image size: 256xN)

Usage

First, download the above pretrained weights to the imagenet_models folder.

Run test_inference.py for an example of how to use the pretrained model to make inference.

python test_inference.py
