BIGBALLON PyTorch CPP Save

This demo will demonstrate how to use LibTorch to build your C++ application.

[UPDATE 2019/01/18] : Init the repo, test with PyTorch1.0.
[UPDATE 2020/02/22] : Thanks for Ageliss and his PR, which update this demo to fit LibTorch1.4.0 and OpenCV4.0.
[UPDATE 2020/04/15] : Retest this tutorial with OpenCV4.3/PyTorch1.4/LibTorch1.4, update readme for beginner.
[UPDATE 2020/04/25] : Update CMakeLists.txt to fit C++14, retest with CUDA10.0/PyTorch1.5/LibTorch1.5.
[UPDATE 2020/11/08] : Improve readme, retest with PyTorch1.7/ CUDA10.2+cuDNNv7.6.5 and CUDA11.0+cuDNNv8.0.4

Preparation

Step 0: Dependencies

Make sure LibTorch and OpenCV have been installed correctly.

• Install OpenCV: for Linux, for Mac OS
• Get LibTorch: download LibTorch package from the official website, then unpack it, for example:

cd path_to_your_workspace
wget https://download.pytorch.org/libtorch/cu102/libtorch-cxx11-abi-shared-with-deps-1.7.0.zip
unzip libtorch-cxx11-abi-shared-with-deps-1.7.0.zip

Step 1: JIT Model

Export torch script file, we use resnet18/resnet50 in this demo. (see model_trace.py)

Step 2: Cpp Program

Write C++ application program. (see prediction.cpp)

PS: module->to(at::kCUDA) and input_tensor.to(at::kCUDA) will switch your model & tensors to GPU mode, comment out them if you just want to use CPU.

Step 3: CMakeLists

Write a CMakeLists.txt. (check cppdocs for more details)

Build

• run model_trace.py, you will get a converted model resnet50.pt.
• compile your cpp program, you need to use -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/absolute/path/to/libtorch, for example:

mkdir build
cd build
# change "/home/bigballon/libtorch" to your libtorch path
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/bigballon/libtorch ..
make

PS: If you get the compile error: error: undefined reference to `cv::imread(std::string const&, int)', check issues 14684 and issues 14620 for more details.

Usage

# ./classifier ../resnet18.pt ../label.txt
