Deep Learning ToolboxTM Model for DarkNet-53 Network

Pretrained DarkNet-53 network model for image classification

DarkNet-53 is a pretrained model that has been trained on a subset of the ImageNet database. The model is trained on more than a million images and can classify images into 1000 object categories (e.g. keyboard, mouse, pencil, and many animals).

Opening the darknet53.mlpkginstall file from your operating system or from within MATLAB will initiate the installation process for the release you have.

This mlpkginstall file is functional for R2020a and beyond. Use darknet53 instead of imagePretrainedNetwork if using a release prior to R2024a.

Usage Example:

% Access the trained model
[net, classes] = imagePretrainedNetwork("darknet53");

% See details of the architecture
net.Layers

% Read the image to classify
I = imread('peppers.png');

% Adjust size of the image
sz = net.Layers(1).InputSize
I = I(1:sz(1),1:sz(2),1:sz(3));

% Classify the image using DarkNet-53
scores = predict(net, single(I));
label = scores2label(scores, classes)

% Show the image and the classification results
