VGG16 function

tf_keras.applications.VGG16(
    include_top=True,
    weights="imagenet",
    input_tensor=None,
    input_shape=None,
    pooling=None,
    classes=1000,
    classifier_activation="softmax",
)

Instantiates the VGG16 model.

Reference

• Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Large-Scale Image Recognition (ICLR 2015)

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.

The default input size for this model is 224x224.

Note: each TF-Keras Application expects a specific kind of input preprocessing. For VGG16, call tf.keras.applications.vgg16.preprocess_input on your inputs before passing them to the model. vgg16.preprocess_input will convert the input images from RGB to BGR, then will zero-center each color channel with respect to the ImageNet dataset, without scaling.

Arguments

• include_top: whether to include the 3 fully-connected layers at the top of the network.
• weights: one of None (random initialization), 'imagenet' (pre-training on ImageNet), or the path to the weights file to be loaded.
• input_tensor: optional TF-Keras tensor (i.e. output of layers.Input()) to use as image input for the model.
• 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 input channels, and width and height should be no smaller than 32. E.g. (200, 200, 3) would be one valid value.
• pooling: Optional pooling mode for feature extraction when include_top is False.
  • None 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.
• 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".

Returns

A keras.Model instance.

VGG19 function

tf_keras.applications.VGG19(
    include_top=True,
    weights="imagenet",
    input_tensor=None,
    input_shape=None,
    pooling=None,
    classes=1000,
    classifier_activation="softmax",
)

Instantiates the VGG19 architecture.
