Breaking changes

Since 1.1.0:

1. iOS TensorFlow Lite library is upgraded from TensorFlowLite　1.x to TensorFlowLiteObjC　2.x. Changes to native code are denoted with TFLITE2.

Since 1.0.0:

1. Updated to TensorFlow Lite API v1.12.0.
2. No longer accepts parameter inputSize and numChannels. They will be retrieved from input tensor.
3. numThreads is moved to Tflite.loadModel.

Installation

Add tflite as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

Android

In android/app/build.gradle, add the following setting in android block.

    aaptOptions {
        noCompress 'tflite'
        noCompress 'lite'
    }

iOS

Solutions to build errors on iOS:

• 'vector' file not found"

  Open ios/Runner.xcworkspace in Xcode, click Runner > Tagets > Runner > Build Settings, search Compile Sources As, change the value to Objective-C++

• 'tensorflow/lite/kernels/register.h' file not found

  The plugin assumes the tensorflow header files are located in path "tensorflow/lite/kernels".

  However, for early versions of tensorflow the header path is "tensorflow/contrib/lite/kernels".

  Use CONTRIB_PATH to toggle the path. Uncomment //#define CONTRIB_PATH from here: https://github.com/shaqian/flutter_tflite/blob/master/ios/Classes/TflitePlugin.mm#L1

Usage

1. Create a assets folder and place your label file and model file in it. In pubspec.yaml add:

  assets:
   - assets/labels.txt
   - assets/mobilenet_v1_1.0_224.tflite

2. Import the library:

import 'package:tflite/tflite.dart';

3. Load the model and labels:

String res = await Tflite.loadModel(
  model: "assets/mobilenet_v1_1.0_224.tflite",
  labels: "assets/labels.txt",
  numThreads: 1, // defaults to 1
  isAsset: true, // defaults to true, set to false to load resources outside assets
  useGpuDelegate: false // defaults to false, set to true to use GPU delegate
);

4. See the section for the respective model below.

5. Release resources:

await Tflite.close();

GPU Delegate

When using GPU delegate, refer to this step for release mode setting to get better performance.

Image Classification

• Output format:

{
  index: 0,
  label: "person",
  confidence: 0.629
}

• Run on image:

var recognitions = await Tflite.runModelOnImage(
  path: filepath,   // required
  imageMean: 0.0,   // defaults to 117.0
  imageStd: 255.0,  // defaults to 1.0
  numResults: 2,    // defaults to 5
  threshold: 0.2,   // defaults to 0.1
  asynch: true      // defaults to true
);

• Run on binary:

var recognitions = await Tflite.runModelOnBinary(
  binary: imageToByteListFloat32(image, 224, 127.5, 127.5),// required
  numResults: 6,    // defaults to 5
  threshold: 0.05,  // defaults to 0.1
  asynch: true      // defaults to true
);

Uint8List imageToByteListFloat32(
    img.Image image, int inputSize, double mean, double std) {
  var convertedBytes = Float32List(1 * inputSize * inputSize * 3);
  var buffer = Float32List.view(convertedBytes.buffer);
  int pixelIndex = 0;
  for (var i = 0; i < inputSize; i++) {
    for (var j = 0; j < inputSize; j++) {
      var pixel = image.getPixel(j, i);
      buffer[pixelIndex++] = (img.getRed(pixel) - mean) / std;
      buffer[pixelIndex++] = (img.getGreen(pixel) - mean) / std;
      buffer[pixelIndex++] = (img.getBlue(pixel) - mean) / std;
    }
  }
  return convertedBytes.buffer.asUint8List();
}

Uint8List imageToByteListUint8(img.Image image, int inputSize) {
  var convertedBytes = Uint8List(1 * inputSize * inputSize * 3);
  var buffer = Uint8List.view(convertedBytes.buffer);
  int pixelIndex = 0;
  for (var i = 0; i < inputSize; i++) {
    for (var j = 0; j < inputSize; j++) {
      var pixel = image.getPixel(j, i);
      buffer[pixelIndex++] = img.getRed(pixel);
      buffer[pixelIndex++] = img.getGreen(pixel);
      buffer[pixelIndex++] = img.getBlue(pixel);
    }
  }
  return convertedBytes.buffer.asUint8List();
}
