# OpenCV deep learning module samples

## Model Zoo

Check [a wiki](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/wiki/Deep-Learning-in-OpenCV) for a list of tested models.

If OpenCV is built with [Intel's Inference Engine support](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/wiki/Intel%27s-Deep-Learning-Inference-Engine-backend) you can use [Intel's pre-trained](https://github.com/opencv/open_model_zoo) models.

There are different preprocessing parameters such mean subtraction or scale factors for different models.
You may check the most popular models and their parameters at [models.yml](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/5.x/samples/dnn/models.yml) configuration file. It might be also used for aliasing samples parameters. In example,

```bash
python object_detection.py opencv_fd --model /path/to/caffemodel --config /path/to/prototxt
```

Check `-h` option to know which values are used by default:

```bash
python object_detection.py opencv_fd -h
```

### Sample models

You can download sample models using ```download_models.py```. For example, the following command will download network weights for OpenCV Face Detector model and store them in FaceDetector folder:

```bash
python download_models.py --save_dir FaceDetector opencv_fd
```

You can use default configuration files adopted for OpenCV from [here](https://github.com/opencv/opencv_extra/tree/5.x/testdata/dnn).

You also can use the script to download necessary files from your code. Assume you have the following code inside ```your_script.py```:

```python
from download_models import downloadFile

filepath1 = downloadFile("https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B3gersZ2cHIxRm5PMWRoTkdHdHc", None, filename="MobileNetSSD_deploy.caffemodel", save_dir="save_dir_1")
filepath2 = downloadFile("https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B3gersZ2cHIxRm5PMWRoTkdHdHc", "994d30a8afaa9e754d17d2373b2d62a7dfbaaf7a", filename="MobileNetSSD_deploy.caffemodel")
print(filepath1)
print(filepath2)
# Your code
```

By running the following commands, you will get **MobileNetSSD_deploy.caffemodel** file:
```bash
export OPENCV_DOWNLOAD_DATA_PATH=download_folder
python your_script.py
```

**Note** that you can provide a directory using **save_dir** parameter or via **OPENCV_SAVE_DIR** environment variable.

#### Face detection
[An origin model](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/5.x/samples/dnn/face_detector)
with single precision floating point weights has been quantized using [TensorFlow framework](https://www.tensorflow.org/).
To achieve the best accuracy run the model on BGR images resized to `300x300` applying mean subtraction
of values `(104, 177, 123)` for each blue, green and red channels correspondingly.

The following are accuracy metrics obtained using [COCO object detection evaluation
tool](http://cocodataset.org/#detections-eval) on [FDDB dataset](http://vis-www.cs.umass.edu/fddb/)
(see [script](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/5.x/modules/dnn/misc/face_detector_accuracy.py))
applying resize to `300x300` and keeping an origin images' sizes.
