ChainerCV: a Library for Deep Learning in Computer Vision
ChainerCV is a collection of tools to train and run neural networks for computer vision tasks using Chainer.
You can find the documentation here.
Supported tasks:
Guiding Principles
ChainerCV is developed under the following three guiding principles.
Ease of Use -- Implementations of computer vision networks with a cohesive and simple interface.
Reproducibility -- Training scripts that are perfect for being used as reference implementations.
Compositionality -- Tools such as data loaders and evaluation scripts that have common API.
Installation
$ pip install -U numpy$ pip install chainercv
The instruction on installation using Anaconda is here (recommended).
Requirements
For additional features
Environments under Python 2.7.12 and 3.6.0 are tested.
The master branch is designed to work on Chainer v4 (the stable version) and v5 (the development version).
The following branches are kept for the previous version of Chainer. Note that these branches are unmaintained.
0.4.11
(for Chainer v1). It can be installed by pip install chainercv==0.4.11
.
0.7
(for Chainer v2). It can be installed by pip install chainercv==0.7
.
0.8
(for Chainer v3). It can be installed by pip install chainercv==0.8
.
