MobileNet V1
Overview
The MobileNet model was proposed in MobileNets: Efficient Convolutional Neural Networks for Mobile Vision Applications by Andrew G. Howard, Menglong Zhu, Bo Chen, Dmitry Kalenichenko, Weijun Wang, Tobias Weyand, Marco Andreetto, Hartwig Adam.
The abstract from the paper is the following:
We present a class of efficient models called MobileNets for mobile and embedded vision applications. MobileNets are based on a streamlined architecture that uses depth-wise separable convolutions to build light weight deep neural networks. We introduce two simple global hyper-parameters that efficiently trade off between latency and accuracy. These hyper-parameters allow the model builder to choose the right sized model for their application based on the constraints of the problem. We present extensive experiments on resource and accuracy tradeoffs and show strong performance compared to other popular models on ImageNet classification. We then demonstrate the effectiveness of MobileNets across a wide range of applications and use cases including object detection, finegrain classification, face attributes and large scale geo-localization.
This model was contributed by matthijs. The original code and weights can be found here.
Usage tips

The checkpoints are named mobilenet_v1_depth_size, for example mobilenet_v1_1.0_224, where 1.0 is the depth multiplier (sometimes also referred to as "alpha" or the width multiplier) and 224 is the resolution of the input images the model was trained on.

Even though the checkpoint is trained on images of specific size, the model will work on images of any size. The smallest supported image size is 32x32.

One can use [MobileNetV1ImageProcessor] to prepare images for the model.

The available image classification checkpoints are pre-trained on ImageNet-1k (also referred to as ILSVRC 2012, a collection of 1.3 million images and 1,000 classes). However, the model predicts 1001 classes: the 1000 classes from ImageNet plus an extra “background” class (index 0).

The original TensorFlow checkpoints use different padding rules than PyTorch, requiring the model to determine the padding amount at inference time, since this depends on the input image size. To use native PyTorch padding behavior, create a [MobileNetV1Config] with tf_padding = False.

Unsupported features:

The [MobileNetV1Model] outputs a globally pooled version of the last hidden state. In the original model it is possible to use a 7x7 average pooling layer with stride 2 instead of global pooling. For larger inputs, this gives a pooled output that is larger than 1x1 pixel. The HuggingFace implementation does not support this.

It is currently not possible to specify an output_stride. For smaller output strides, the original model invokes dilated convolution to prevent the spatial resolution from being reduced further. The output stride of the HuggingFace model is always 32.

The original TensorFlow checkpoints include quantized models. We do not support these models as they include additional "FakeQuantization" operations to unquantize the weights.

It's common to extract the output from the pointwise layers at indices 5, 11, 12, 13 for downstream purposes. Using output_hidden_states=True returns the output from all intermediate layers. There is currently no way to limit this to specific layers.
