tf.keras.applications.MobileNetV2

Instantiates the MobileNetV2 architecture.

Main aliases

tf.keras.applications.mobilenet_v2.MobileNetV2

Used in the notebooks

MobileNetV2 is very similar to the original MobileNet, except that it uses inverted residual blocks with bottlenecking features. It has a drastically lower parameter count than the original MobileNet. MobileNets support any input size greater than 32 x 32, with larger image sizes offering better performance.

Reference:

This function returns a Keras image classification model, optionally loaded with weights pre-trained on ImageNet.

For image classification use cases, see this page for detailed examples.

For transfer learning use cases, make sure to read the guide to transfer learning & fine-tuning.

input_shape Optional shape tuple, only to be specified if include_top is False (otherwise the input shape has to be (224, 224, 3) (with "channels_last" data format) or (3, 224, 224) (with "channels_first" data format). It should have exactly 3 inputs channels, and width and height should be no smaller than 32. E.g. (200, 200, 3) would be one valid value. Defaults to None. input_shape will be ignored if the input_tensor is provided.
alpha Controls the width of the network. This is known as the width multiplier in the MobileNet paper.

  • If alpha < 1.0, proportionally decreases the number of filters in each layer.
  • If alpha > 1.0, proportionally increases the number of filters in each layer.
  • If alpha == 1, default number of filters from the paper are used at each layer. Defaults to 1.0.
include_top Boolean, whether to include the fully-connected layer at the top of the network. Defaults to True.
weights One of None (random initialization), "imagenet" (pre-training on ImageNet), or the path to the weights file to be loaded. Defaults to "imagenet".
input_tensor Optional Keras tensor (i.e. output of layers.Input()) to use as image input for the model. input_tensor is useful for sharing inputs between multiple different networks. Defaults to None.
pooling Optional pooling mode for feature extraction when include_top is False.
  • None (default) means that the output of the model will be the 4D tensor output of the last convolutional block.
  • avg means that global average pooling will be applied to the output of the last convolutional block, and thus the output of the model will be a 2D tensor.
  • max means that global max pooling will be applied.
  • classes Optional number of classes to classify images into, only to be specified if include_top is True, and if no weights argument is specified. Defaults to 1000.
    classifier_activation A str or callable. The activation function to use on the "top" layer. Ignored unless include_top=True. Set classifier_activation=None to return the logits of the "top" layer. When loading pretrained weights, classifier_activation can only be None or "softmax".
