Description

The model is an improved version of the 19-layer model used by the VGG team in the ILSVRC-2014 competition. The details can be found in the following arXiv paper:

Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Large-Scale Image Recognition
K. Simonyan, A. Zisserman
arXiv:1409.1556

Please cite the paper if you use the model.

In the paper, the model is denoted as the configuration E trained with scale jittering. The input images should be zero-centered by mean pixel (rather than mean image) subtraction. Namely, the following BGR values should be subtracted: [103.939, 116.779, 123.68].

Caffe compatibility

The models are currently supported by the dev branch of Caffe, but are not yet compatible with master. An example of how to use the models in Matlab can be found in matlab/caffe/matcaffe_demo_vgg.m

ILSVRC-2012 performance

Using dense single-scale evaluation (the smallest image side rescaled to 384), the top-5 classification error on the validation set of ILSVRC-2012 is 8.0% (see Table 3 in the arXiv paper).

Using dense multi-scale evaluation (the smallest image side rescaled to 256, 384, and 512), the top-5 classification error is 7.5% on the validation set and 7.3% on the test set of ILSVRC-2012 (see Tables 4 and 6 in the arXiv paper).

Hi all, in the paper, there was also a simplified VGG 11:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1409.1556.pdf

Is this network and its weights available anywhere??

There is no Dev branch of Caffe

Here is working example of VGG-19 that I have trained using NVIDIA DIGITS with Caffe backend.
