Movidius神经计算棒初体验

Movidius神经计算棒初体验

Intel® Movidius™ 神经计算棒(NCS)是个使用USB接口的深度学习设备,比U盘略大,功耗1W,浮点性能可达100GFLOPs。

100GFLOPs大概是什么概念呢,i7-8700K有59.26GLOPs,Titan V FP16 有24576GLOPs……(仅供娱乐参考,对比是不同精度的)。

安装NCSDK

目前NCSDK官方安装脚本只支持Ubuntu 16.04和Raspbian Stretch,折腾一下在其他Linux系统运行也是没问题的,例如我用ArchLinux,大概步骤如下:

  1. 安装python 3、opencv、tensorflow 1.4.0还有其他依赖
  2. 编译安装caffe,需要用到这个没合并的PR:Fix boost_python discovery for distros with different naming scheme
  3. 改官方的脚本,跳过系统检查,跳过依赖安装(在第一步就手工装完了)

当我顺利折腾完之外,才发现AUR是有了现成的ncsdk

安装完成后改LD_LIBRARY_PATH和PYTHONPATH:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/movidius/bvlc-caffe/build/install/lib64/:/usr/local/lib/
export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/opt/movidius/caffe/python"

模型编译

使用NCS需要把caffe或tensorflow训练好的模型转换成NCS支持的格式。因为Keras有TF后端,所以用Keras的模型也是可以的。这里以Keras自带的VGG16为例:

from keras.applications import VGG16
from keras import backend as K
import tensorflow as tf

mn = VGG16()
saver = tf.train.Saver()
sess = K.get_session()
saver.save(sess, "./TF_Model/vgg16")

这里直接用tf.train.Saver保存了一个tf模型,然后用mvNCCompile命令进行编译,需要指定网络的输入和输出节点,-s 12表示使用12个SHAVE处理器:

$ mvNCCompile TF_Model/vgg16.meta -in=input_1 -on=predictions/Softmax -s 12

顺利的话就的到一个graph文件。

(这里用了我自己改的TensorFlowParser.py才能用)

模型调优

mvNCProfile命令可以查看模型中每一层使用的内存带宽、算力,模型调优可以以此为参考。

$ mvNCProfile TF_Model/vgg16.meta -in=input_1 -on=predictions/Softmax -s 12

可以看到执行1此VGG16推断需要750ms,主要时间花在了几个卷积层,所以这个模型用在实时的视频分析是不合适的,这时可以试试其他的网络,例如SqueezeNet只要48ms:

推断

有了图文件,我们就可以把它加载到NCS,然后进行推断:

from mvnc import mvncapi as mvnc

## 枚举设备
devices = mvnc.EnumerateDevices()

## 打开第一个NCS
device = mvnc.Device(devices[0])
device.OpenDevice()

## 读取图文件
with open("graph", mode='rb') as f:
    graphfile = f.read()

## 加载图
graph = device.AllocateGraph(graphfile)

图加载加载完成后,就可以graph.LoadTensor给它一个输入,graph.GetResult得到结果。

# 从摄像头获取图像
ret, frame = cap.read()

# 预处理
img = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
img = cv2.resize(img, (224, 224))
img = preprocess_input(img.astype('float32'))

# 输入
graph.LoadTensor(img.astype(numpy.float16), 'user object')

# 获取结果
output, userobj = graph.GetResult()

result = decode_predictions(output.reshape(1, 1000))

识别出鼠标:
