Introduction to Practical Ultra Light-weight image Classification solutions

PULC solutions consists of PP-LCNet light-weight backbone, SSLD pretrained models, Ensemble of Data Augmentation strategy and SKL-UGI knowledge distillation. PULC models inference within 3ms on CPU devices, with accuracy comparable with SwinTransformer. We also release 9 practical models covering pedestrian, vehicle and OCR.

Introduction to Image Recognition Systems

Image recognition can be divided into three steps:

• （1）Identify region proposal for target objects through a detection model；
• （2）Extract features for each region proposal;
• （3）Search features in the retrieval database and output results;

For a new unknown category, there is no need to retrain the model, just prepare images of new category, extract features and update retrieval database and the category can be recognised.
