How to Install TensorFlow and Recognize images using Raspberry Pi

Introduction

This article demonstrates how to install TensorFlow and recognize images using Raspberry Pi.

Prerequisite

  • Raspberry Pi
  • TensorFlow
  • Putty or VNC View

**About TensorFlow **

  • TensorFlow is a free and open-source software library for dataflow
  • It is a symbolic math library.
  • TensorFlow is a computational framework for building machine learning models.

TensorFlow has two components

  • a graph protocol buffer
  • a runtime that executes the (distributed) graph

Types of an image

  • BINARY IMAGE
  • BLACK AND WHITE IMAG
  • 8-bit COLOR FORMAT
  • 16-bit COLOR FORMAT

A 16-bit color format is divided into three different colors which are Red, Green, and Blue (RGB).

Step 1

Let’s go to install the raspbian stretch operating system and also get the latest version of Python, so open the Linux terminal to update Python.

sudo apt-get update    
python --version    
python3 --version    

Installing TensorFlow needs some library file, so Libatlas library is required by the TensorFlow package installation. Once the library file is installed, then install the TensorFlow package.

Before installing TensorFlow, install the Atlas library.

sudo apt install libatlas-base-dev  

Once that is finished install TensorFlow via pip3

pip3 install --user tensorflow  

Nowwe’ve  successfully installed TensorFlowTensorFlow version-1-9-0.

Step 2

Once we install the TensorFlow we’re ready to test the basic TensorFlow script provided by the TensorFlow site and first, you can test the Hello World program. Now, I create a  new Python file like tftest.py,

sudo nano tftest.py  

Next, you have to import the TensorFlow library.

import tensorflow as tf  
hello = tf.constant('Hello, TensorFlow')  
sess = tf.Session()  
print (sess.run(hello))

Just run the code. You can see the hello TensorFlow program is successfully printed.

Run the code from the terminal:

python3 tftest.py

Step 3

Clone the TensorFlow classification script.

git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git  

This is a panda image for reference:

This is image title

Once the script is running the panda image will be recognized.

cd models/tutorials/image/imagenet  
python3 classify_image.py

OUTPUT

This is image title

The same method is used to classify the external images like the following terminal command.

python3 classify_image.py --image_file=/PATH/  

This is the very beginning of the TensorFlow Raspberry pi, just install the TensorFlow and Classify the image.
