get_dl_model_param — Return the parameters of a deep learning model.
get_dl_model_param( : : DLModelHandle, GenParamName : GenParamValue)
get_dl_model_param returns the parameter values
GenParamValue of GenParamName for the deep learning
model DLModelHandle.
For a deep learning model, parameters GenParamName can be set using
set_dl_model_param or create_dl_model_detection, depending
on the parameter and the model type.
With this operator, get_dl_model_param, you can retrieve
the parameter values GenParamValue.
Below we give an overview of the different parameters and an explanation,
except of those you can only set. For latter ones, please see the
documentation of corresponding operator.
The parameters are listed corresponding to the deep learning model methods:
To mark which operators are available for the methods, we use the following notations:
set: The parameter can be set using set_dl_model_param.
get: The parameter can be retrieved using
get_dl_model_param.
create: The parameter can be set using
create_dl_model_detection.
Certain parameters are set as non-optional parameters, the corresponding notation is given in brackets.

In the following we list and explain the parameters GenParamName
for which you can retrieve their value using this operator,
get_dl_model_param.
Thereby, the following symbols denote the model type for which the parameter
can be get:
'Any': any method
'3D-GPD': 'type'='3d_gripping_point_detection'
'AD': 'type'='anomaly_detection'
'CL': 'type'='classification'
'DO': 'type'='ocr_recognition'
'GC-AD': 'type'='gc_anomaly_detection'
'OD': 'type'='detection'
'SE': 'type'='segmentation'
'Gen': 'type'='generic'
This value defines the moment for the linear term in Adam solver.
For more information we refer to the documentation of
train_dl_model_batch.
Restriction: Only applicable for 'solver_type' = 'adam'.
Default: 'adam_beta1' = 0.9
This value defines the moment for the quadratic term in Adam solver.
For more information we refer to the documentation of
train_dl_model_batch.
Restriction: Only applicable for 'solver_type' = 'adam'.
Default: 'adam_beta2' = 0.999
This value defines the epsilon in the Adam solver formula and is
purposed to guarantee the numeric stability.
For more information we refer to the documentation of
train_dl_model_batch.
Restriction: Only applicable for 'solver_type' = 'adam'.
Default: 'adam_epsilon' = 1e-08
The character set that can be recognized by the Deep OCR model.
It contains all characters that are not mapped to the Blank character of the internal alphabet (see parameters 'alphabet_mapping' and 'alphabet_internal').
The alphabet can be changed or extended if needed. Changing the
alphabet with this parameter will edit the internal alphabet and
mapping in such a way that it tries to keep the length of the internal
alphabet unchanged.
After changing the alphabet, it is recommended to retrain the model on
application specific data (see the HDevelop example
deep_ocr_recognition_training_workflow.hdev).
Previously unknown characters will need more training data.
Note, that if the length of the internal alphabet changes, the last model layers have to be randomly initialized and thus the output of the model will be random strings (see 'alphabet_internal'). In that case it is required to retrain the model.
The full character set which the Deep OCR recognition component has been trained on.
The first character of the internal alphabet is a special character. In the pretrained model this character is specified as Blank (U+2800) and is not to be confused with a space. The Blank is never returned in a word output but can occur in the reported character candidates. It is required and cannot be omitted. If the internal alphabet is changed, the first character has to be the Blank. Furthermore, if 'alphabet' is used to change the alphabet, the Blank symbol is added automatically to the character set.
The length of this tuple corresponds to the depth of the last
convolution layer in the model. If the length changes, the last
convolution layer and all layers after it have to be resized and
potentially reinitialized randomly. After such a change, it is required
to retrain the model (see HDevelop example
deep_ocr_recognition_training_workflow.hdev).
It is recommend to use the parameter 'alphabet' to change the alphabet, as it will automatically try to preserve the length of the internal alphabet.
Tuple of integer indices.
It is a mapping that is applied by the model during the decoding step of each word. The mapping overwrites a character of 'alphabet_internal' with the character at the specified index in 'alphabet_internal'.
In the decoding step each prediction is mapped according to the index specified in this tuple. The tuple has to be of same length as the tuple 'alphabet_internal'. Each integer index of the mapping has to be within 0 and |'alphabet_internal'|-1.
In some applications it can be helpful to map certain characters onto other characters. E.g. if only numeric words occur in an application it might be helpful to map the character "O" to the "0" character without the need to retrain the model.
If an entry contains a 0, the corresponding character in 'alphabet_internal' will not be decoded in the word.
The parameter 'anchor_angles' determines the orientation angle of the anchors for a model of 'instance_type' = 'rectangle2'.
Thereby, the orientation is given in arc measure and indicates the angle between the horizontal axis and 'Length1' (mathematically positive). See the chapter Deep Learning / Object Detection and Instance Segmentation for more explanations to anchors.
You can set a tuple of values. A higher number of angles increases the number of anchors which might lead to a better localization but also increases the runtime and memory-consumption.
Assertion: 'anchor_angles' for 'ignore_direction' = 'false', 'anchor_angles' for 'ignore_direction' = 'true'
Default: 'anchor_angles' = [0.0]
The parameter 'anchor_aspect_ratios' determines the aspect ratio of the anchors. Thereby, the definition of the ratio depends on the 'instance_type':
'rectangle1': height-to-width ratio
'rectangle2': ratio length1 to length2
E.g., for instance type 'rectangle1' the ratio 2 gives a narrow and 0.5 a broad anchor. The size of the anchor is affected by the parameter 'anchor_num_subscales' and with its explanation we give the formula for the sizes and lengths of the generated anchors. See the chapter Deep Learning / Object Detection and Instance Segmentation for more explanations to anchors.
You can set a tuple of values. A higher number of aspect ratios increases the number of anchors which might lead to a better localization but also increases the runtime and memory-consumption.
For reasons of backward compatibility, the parameter name 'aspect_ratios' can be used instead of 'anchor_aspect_ratios'.
Default: 'anchor_aspect_ratios' = [1.0, 2.0, 0.5]
This parameter determines the number of different sizes with which the anchors are generated at the different levels used.
In HALCON for every anchor point, thus every pixel of every feature map of the feature pyramid, a set of anchors is proposed. See the chapter Deep Learning / Object Detection and Instance Segmentation for more explanations to anchors. Thereby the parameter 'anchor_num_subscales' affects the size of the anchors. An example is shown in the figure below.
An anchor of level has by default a edge lengths of in the input image, whereby the parameter has the value . With the parameter 'anchor_num_subscales' additional anchors can be generated, which converge in size to the smallest anchor of the level . More precisely, these anchors of level have in the input image the edge lengths where . For subscale , this results on level in an anchor of height and width equal where is the ratio of this anchor (see 'anchor_aspect_ratios').
A larger number of subscales increases the number of anchors and will therefore increase the runtime and memory-consumption.
For reasons of backward compatibility, the parameter name 'num_subscales' can be used instead of 'anchor_num_subscales'.
Default: 'anchor_num_subscales' = 3
The image-level anomaly score is calculated internally such that
a certain fraction of the pixel-level anomaly scores in
anomaly_image is greater or equal to the image-level
anomaly score. The value of this fraction can be set by
'anomaly_score_tolerance' and has to be in the interval
[0.0, 1.0].
For example, for 'anomaly_score_tolerance'=0.01,
1 percent of the pixel anomaly scores are larger or equal to the
image anomaly score. This can be used to suppress outliers
that might appear in the pixel anomaly scores.
Default: 'anomaly_score_tolerance' = 0.0
The parameter 'backbone' is the name (together with the path)
of the backbone network which is used to create the model. A list of
the delivered backbone networks can be found under
create_dl_model_detection.
The parameter 'backbone_docking_layers' specifies which layers of the backbone are to be used as docking layers by the feature pyramid. Thereby the layers are referenced by their names.
The docking layers can be specified for every classifier, also without using them as backbone. The specification is only considered for object detection backbones. When selecting the docking layers, consider that the feature map lengths have to be halved from one docking layer to the other. Rule of thumb: Use the deepest layers for every (lateral) resolution in the backbone (corresponding to one of the required levels for your object detection task).
Information about the names and sizes of the layers in a model can be enquired using 'summary'.
Default: For the pretrained backbones delivered by HALCON the defaults depend on the classifier. Other classifiers do not have any docking layers set by default and therefore need to have this parameter set before they can be used as backbone.
Number of input images (and corresponding labels) in a batch that is transferred to device memory.
For a training using train_dl_model_batch, the batch of images
which are processed simultaneously in a single training iteration
contains a number of images which is equal to 'batch_size'
times 'batch_size_multiplier'. Please refer to
train_dl_model_batch for further details.
For inference, the 'batch_size' can be generally set
independently from the number of input images.
See apply_dl_model for details on how to set this parameter
for greater efficiency.
The parameter 'batch_size' is stored in the pretrained
classifier. Per default, the 'batch_size' is set such
that a training of the pretrained classifier with up to
100 classes can be easily performed on a device with
8 gigabyte of memory.
| pretrained classifier | default value of 'batch_size' |
|---|---|
| 'pretrained_dl_classifier_alexnet.hdl' | 230 |
| 'pretrained_dl_classifier_compact.hdl' | 160 |
| 'pretrained_dl_classifier_enhanced.hdl' | 96 |
| 'pretrained_dl_classifier_mobilenet_v2.hdl' | 40 |
| 'pretrained_dl_classifier_resnet18.hdl' | 24 |
| 'pretrained_dl_classifier_resnet50.hdl' | 23 |
Multiplier for 'batch_size' to enable training with larger
numbers of images in one step which would otherwise not be possible
due to GPU memory limitations. This model parameter does only affect
train_dl_model_batch and thus has no
impact during evaluation and inference.
For detailed information see train_dl_model_batch.
The parameter 'batch_size_multiplier' has no effect.
The parameter 'batch_size_multiplier' has no effect.
Default: 'batch_size_multiplier' = 1
The parameters 'bbox_heads_weight' and 'class_heads_weight' are weighting factors for the calculation of the total loss. This means, when the losses of the individual networks are summed up, the contributions from the bounding box regression heads are weighted by a factor 'bbox_heads_weight' and the contributions from the classification heads are weighted by a factor 'class_heads_weight'.
Default: 'bbox_heads_weight' = 1.0, 'class_heads_weight' = 1.0
This parameter roughly determines the number of parameters (or filter weights) in the deeper sections of the object detection network (after the backbone). Its possible values are 'high', 'medium', and 'low'.
It can be used to trade-off between detection performance and speed. For simpler object detection tasks, the 'low' or 'medium' settings may be sufficient to achieve the same detection performance as with 'high'.
Default: 'capacity' = 'high'
Unique IDs of the classes the model shall distinguish. The tuple is of length 'num_classes'.
We stress out the slightly different meanings and restrictions depending on the model type:
The IDs are unique identifiers, which are automatically assigned to each class. The ID of a class corresponds to the index within the tuple 'class_names'.
Only the classes of the objects to be detected are included and therewith no background class. Thereby, you can set any integer within the interval as class ID value.
Note that the values of 'class_ids_no_orientation' depend on 'class_ids'. Thus if 'class_ids' is changed after the creation of the model, 'class_ids_no_orientation' is reset to an empty tuple.
Default: 'class_ids' = '[0,...,num_classes-1]'
Every class used for training has to be included and therewith also the class ID of the 'background' class. Therefore, for such a model the tuple has a minimal length of 2. Thereby, you can set any integer within the interval as class ID value.
With this parameter you can declare classes, for which the orientation will not be considered, e.g., round or other point symmetrical objects. For each class, whose class ID is present in 'class_ids_no_orientation', the network returns axis-aligned bounding boxes.
Note, this parameter only affects networks of 'instance_type' = 'rectangle2'.
Note that the values of 'class_ids_no_orientation' depend on 'class_ids'. Thus if 'class_ids' is changed after the creation of the model, 'class_ids_no_orientation' is reset to an empty tuple.
Default: 'class_ids_no_orientation' = []
Unique names of the classes the model shall distinguish. The order of the class names remains unchanged after the setting. The tuple is of length 'num_classes'.
The parameter 'class_weights' is a tuple of class specific weighting factors for the loss. Giving the unique classes a different weight, it is possible to force the network to learn the classes with different importance. This is useful in cases where a class dominates the dataset. The weighting factors have to be within the interval . Thereby a class gets a stronger impact during the training the larger its weight is. The weights in the tuple 'class_weights' are sorted the same way as the classes in the tuple 'class_ids'. We stress out the slightly different meanings and restrictions depending on the model type:
Default: 'class_weights' = 1.0 for each class.
Default: 'class_weights' = 0.25 for each class.
This parameter controls the capacity of the model to deal with more complex applications. A higher value allows for the model to represent images showing more complexity. Increasing the parameter leads to higher runtimes during training and inference. Please note that this parameter can only be set before the model is trained. Setting 'complexity' on an already trained model would render this model useless. When trying to do so, an error is returned but the model itself is unchanged.
Default: 'complexity' = 15
Handle of the device on which the deep learning operators will be executed.
If the model was already optimized for a device, setting 'device'
might not be necessary anymore, see
optimize_dl_model_for_inference for details.
To get a tuple of handles of all available potentially deep-learning capable
hardware devices use query_available_dl_devices.
Default: Handle of the default device, thus the GPU with index 0. If not available, this is an empty tuple.
With this parameter value you can extract feature maps of the
specified model layer for an inferred image.
The selected layer must be part of the existing network. An overview of
all existing layers of the model can be returned by the operator
get_dl_model_param with the corresponding parameter
'summary'.
Note, using this option modifies the network architecture:
The network is truncated after a selected layer.
This modification can not be reversed.
If the original network architecture should be used again
it must be read in again with the operator read_dl_model.
This parameter determines the backbone levels whose weights are kept (meaning not updated and thus frozen) during training. Thereby the given number signifies the highest level whose layers are frozen in the backbone. Setting 'freeze_backbone_level' to 0, for no level the weights are frozen and as a consequence the weights of all layers are updated. It is recommended to set this in case the weights have been randomly initialized (e.g., after certain changes of the number of image channels) or the in case the backbone is not pretrained.
Default: 'freeze_backbone_level' = 2
This parameter is used to select the subnetworks of the model. The following values can be set:
'local': The local subnetwork will be extracted.
'global': The global subnetwork will be extracted.
We refer to Deep Learning / Anomaly Detection and Global Context Anomaly Detection for more general information on the subnetworks and their properties.
Note, the original model contains both a 'local' and a
'global' subnetwork. Once the model architecture is reduced
to a single subnetwork, the original network is truncated. This cannot
be undone. If the original model architecture is to be used again,
it must be read in again with read_dl_model.
Default: 'gc_anomaly_networks' = ['local', 'global']
Identifier of the GPU where the training and inference operators
(train_dl_model_batch and apply_dl_model) are executed.
Per default, the first available GPU is used.
get_system with 'cuda_devices' can be used to
retrieve a list of available GPUs. Pass the index in this list to
'gpu'.
Note that the parameter 'gpu' is only taken into account for 'runtime' = 'gpu'. Therefore, it is preferable to set the GPU device, on which operators are run, using the parameter 'device'. executed.
Default: 'gpu' = 0
With this parameter you can declare one or multiple classes as 'ignore' classes, see the chapter Deep Learning / Semantic Segmentation and Edge Extraction for further information. These classes are declared over their ID (integers).
Note, you can not set a class ID in 'ignore_class_ids' and 'class_ids' simultaneously.
This parameter determines whether for the oriented bounding box also the direction of the object within the bounding box is considered or not. In case the direction within the bounding box is not to be considered you can set 'ignore_direction' to 'true'. In order to determine the bounding box unambiguously, in this case (but only in this case) the following conventions apply:
'phi'
'bbox_length1' > 'bbox_length2'
This is consistent to smallest_rectangle2.
Note, this parameter only affects networks of 'instance_type' = 'rectangle2'.
Possible values: 'true', 'false'
Default: 'ignore_direction' = 'false'
Tuple containing the input image dimensions 'image_width', 'image_height', and number of channels 'image_num_channels'.
The respective default values and possible value ranges depend on the model and model type. Please see the individual dimension parameter description for more details.
Height and width of the input images, respectively, that the network will process.
This parameter can attain different values depending on the model type:
The network architectures allow changes of the image height and width.
The default values are given by the network, see
read_dl_model.
The default values depend on the specific pretrained network,
see read_dl_model.
The network architectures allow changes of the image dimensions,
which can be done using set_dl_model_param. Please also
refer to read_dl_model for restrictions each of the
delivered networks has on the input image size.
Note that these parameters have to be set before training the model.
Setting them on an already trained model would render this model
useless. When trying to do so, an error is returned but the model
itself is unchanged.
The default values depend on the specific pretrained classifier,
see read_dl_model.
The network architectures allow changes of the image dimensions,
which can be done using set_dl_model_param.
But for networks with at least one fully connected layer such a
change makes a retraining necessary.
Networks without fully connected layers are directly applicable to
different image sizes. However, images with a size differing from
the size with which the classifier has been trained are likely to
show a reduced classification accuracy.
The network architectures allow changes of the image dimensions.
But the image lengths are halved for every level, that is why the
dimensions 'image_width' and 'image_height'
need to be an integer multiple of
.
depends on the 'backbone'
and the parameter 'max_level', see
create_dl_model_detection for further information.
Default: 'image_height' = 640, 'image_width' = 640
The network architecture allows changes of the image dimensions. Note that these parameters have to be set before training the model. Setting them on an already trained model would render this model useless.
Restriction: The 'image_width' and the 'image_height' must be greater than or equal to the value of the 'patch_size' parameter.
Default: 'image_height' = 256, 'image_width' = 256
The network architectures allow changes of the image width.
The default and minimal values are given by the network, see
read_dl_model.
The network architectures allow changes of the image dimensions.
The default and minimal values are given by the network, see
read_dl_model.
Number of channels of the input images the network will process.
The default value is given by the network, see
read_dl_model and create_dl_model_detection.
For models of 'type'='anomaly_detection' or 'type'='gc_anomaly_detection', only the values 1 and 3 are supported. In addition, this parameter should be set before the model is trained. For models of 'type'='anomaly_detection', setting 'image_num_channels' on an already trained model would render this model useless. Therefore, an error is returned when trying to do so, but the model itself is unchanged.
For models of 'type'='3d_gripping_point_detection' the number may not be changed.
For other models, any number of input image channels is possible.
If number of channels is changed to a value >1, the weights of the first layers after the input image layer will be initialized with random values. Note, in this case more data for the retraining is needed. If the number of channels is changed to 1, the weights of the concerned layers are fused.
Default: 'image_num_channels' = 3
Default: 'image_num_channels' = 3
Maximum and minimum gray value of the input images, respectively, the network will process.
The default values are given by the network, see
read_dl_model and create_dl_model_detection.
This parameter returns a dictionary containing all input dimensions
of the network. Examples for such inputs: input image,
weight_image (for models of
'type'='segmentation').
These dimensions are given in the dictionary as a tuple
[width, height, depth].
In case this parameter is used to set the dimension, for every dimension
a value of -1 may be set to keep the current value.
This parameter determines if the model is created for instance
segmentation.
If the parameter is set to 'true' in
create_dl_model_detection, the detection deep learning network
is extended by additional layers for instance segmentation.
Possible values: 'true', 'false'
Default: 'instance_segmentation' = 'false'
The parameter 'instance_type' determines, which instance type is used for the object model. The current implementations differ regarding the allowed orientations of the bounding boxes. See the chapter Deep Learning / Object Detection and Instance Segmentation for more explanations to the different types and their bounding boxes.
Possible values: 'rectangle1', 'rectangle2'
Default: 'instance_type' = 'rectangle1'
This parameter returns a tuple containing the name for every layer
of the model.
This name is the same human-readable identifier as is returned by
get_dl_model_param with 'summary'.
Note, for some networks distributed with HALCON, the network
architecture is confidential. In this case
get_dl_model_param returns an empty tuple with
'layer_names'.
Value of the factor determining the gradient influence during
training using train_dl_model_batch.
Please refer to train_dl_model_batch for further details.
The default values depend on the model.
The parameter 'learning_rate' has no effect.
The parameter 'mask_head_weight' is a weighting factor for the calculation of the total loss. This means, when the losses of the individual network heads are summed up, the contribution from the mask prediction head is weighted by a factor 'mask_head_weight'.
Restriction: Only applicable to models with 'instance_segmentation'='true'
Default: 'mask_head_weight' = 1.0
These parameters determine on which levels the additional networks are attached on the feature pyramid. We refer to the chapter Deep Learning / Object Detection and Instance Segmentation for further explanations to the feature pyramid and the attached networks.
From these ('max_level' - 'min_level' + 1) networks all predictions with a minimum confidence value are kept as long they do not strongly overlap (see 'min_confidence' and 'max_overlap').
The level declares how often the size of the feature map already has been scaled down. Thus, level 0 corresponds to the feature maps with size of the input image, level 1 to feature maps subscaled once, and so on. As a consequence, smaller objects are detected in the lower levels, whereas larger objects are detected in higher levels.
The value for 'min_level' needs to be at least 2.
If 'max_level' is larger than the number of levels the backbone can provide, the backbone is extended with additional (randomly initialized) convolutional layers in order to generate deeper levels. Further, 'max_level' may have an influence on the minimal input image size.
Note, for small input image dimensions, high levels might not be meaningful, as the feature maps could already be too small to contain meaningful information.
A higher number of used levels might increase the runtime and memory-consumption, whereby especially lower levels carry weight.
Default: 'max_level' = 6, 'min_level' = 2
This parameter determines the maximum number of detections (bounding boxes) per image proposed from the network.
Default: 'max_num_detections' = 100
The maximum allowed intersection over union (IoU) for two predicted bounding boxes of the same class. Or, vice-versa, when two bounding boxes are classified into the same class and have an IoU higher than 'max_overlap', the one with lower confidence value gets suppressed. We refer to the chapter Deep Learning / Object Detection and Instance Segmentation for further explanations to the IoU.
Default: 'max_overlap' = 0.5
The maximum allowed intersection over union (IoU) for two predicted bounding boxes independently of their predicted classes. Or, vice-versa, when two bounding boxes have an IoU higher than 'max_overlap_class_agnostic', the one with lower confidence value gets suppressed. As default, 'max_overlap_class_agnostic' is set to 1.0, hence class agnostic bounding box suppression has no influence.
Default: 'max_overlap_class_agnostic' = 1.0
Dictionary with user defined meta data, whose entries can be set freely. The meta data may be used to store information such as the model author or a model version along with the model.
Restriction: Dictionary values are limited to strings.
This parameter determines the minimum confidence, when the image part
within the bounding box is classified in order to keep the proposed
bounding box.
This means, when apply_dl_model is called, all output bounding
boxes with a confidence value smaller than 'min_confidence'
are suppressed.
Default: 'min_confidence' = 0.5
When updating the weights of the network, the hyperparameter 'momentum' specifies to which extent previous updating vectors will be added to the current updating vector. Only applicable for 'solver_type' = 'sgd'.
Please refer to train_dl_model_batch for further details.
The default value is given by the model.
The parameter 'momentum' has no effect.
Number of distinct classes that the model is able to distinguish for its predictions.
This parameter differs between the model types:
This parameter is set as NumClasses over
create_dl_model_detection. 'class_ids' and
'class_names' always need to have 'num_classes'
entries.
A model of 'type'='segmentation' does predict background and therefore in this case the 'background' class is included in 'num_classes'. For these models, 'num_classes' is determined implicitly by the length of 'class_ids'.
Number of trainable parameters (weights and biases) of the model. This value is an indicator for the size of the model when it is serialized.
Defines whether the model is optimized and only applicable for inference.
The model remains executable on HALCON standard devices even after
optimization (unlike optimize_dl_model_for_inference).
Setting this parameter to 'true' frees model memory not needed
for inference (e.g., memory of gradients).
This can significantly reduce the amount of memory needed by the model.
As a consequence, models with this characteristic have no gradients
accessible (needed e.g., for training or calculations of heatmaps).
Operators using values from freed memory (e.g.,
train_dl_model_batch) will automatically reset this parameter
value to 'false'.
In case the value is reset to 'false' (both, manually or automatically), memory needed by the model for training is reallocated. This implies, a following training behaves as if 'momentum' is temporarily set to 0 (as possible updating vectors have to be accumulated again).
Default: 'false'
This parameter determines the size of the patches analyzed by the 'local' subnetwork. The patch size should be chosen such that patches containing defects will differ clearly from patches without defects. This should cover all kinds of anomalies that might occur during inference. The patch size does not need to cover the defects as a whole. Note that the image is not divided into separate patches, but 'patch_size' solely determines the scale on which the image is gradually analyzed by the 'local' subnetwork. If the image size is changed 'patch_size' should be adjusted accordingly.
| (1) | (2) |
Restriction: The parameter 'patch_size' must be smaller than or equal to 'image_width' and 'image_height'.
Default: 'patch_size' = 32
Defines the data type that is internally used for the calculation of a forward pass of a deep learning model.
Default: 'float32'
Indicates whether the model was subjected to a conversion
process after training done by optimize_dl_model_for_inference.
Default: 'false'
Defines the device on which the deep learning operators will be executed.
Note that the parameter 'device' should be preferred to set the devices on which the deep learning operators will be executed.
Default: 'runtime' = 'gpu'
The training and inference operator will be executed on CPU.
Note, training is only supported for specific platform types,
please see the HALCON “Installation Guide”.
In case the GPU has been used before, CPU memory is initialized, and if necessary values stored on the GPU memory are moved to the CPU memory.
For parallelization:
The runtime is highly dependent on the number of threads set.
The use of all available threads does not necessarily create
a faster performance.
How many threads are currently set can be queried with the operator
get_system.
The implemented CPU parallelization is dependent on the architecture:
Intel or AMD architecture: OpenMP.
By default all available threads of the OpenMP runtime environment
are used.
The number of threads used can be specified with the thread specific
parameter 'tsp_thread_num' of the operator set_system.
Arm architectures: Global Thread Pool.
The number of threads can be set with the global parameter
'thread_num' of the operator set_system.
However, it is not possible to specify a thread-specific number of
threads (via the parameter 'tsp_thread_num' of the operator
set_system).
The GPU memory is initialized.
The operators apply_dl_model, train_dl_model_batch, and
train_dl_model_anomaly_dataset will be executed on the GPU.
For the specific requirements please refer to the HALCON
“Installation Guide”.
This value defines the optimization algorithm with the goal to
minimize the value of the total loss function.
For more information we refer to the documentation of
train_dl_model_batch.
The following values can be set:
'adam': Adaptive moment estimation
'sgd': Stochastic gradient descent
The parameter 'solver_type' has no effect.
The anomaly score is calculated internally as the mean of certain internal scores s plus lambda times their standard deviation.
Where s denotes a pixel value of the internal
anomaly_image,
the mean value of s and
the standard deviation of s.
The parameter 'standard_deviation_factor' sets the value
and thus controls how important the standard
deviation is in comparison to the mean.
Default: 'standard_deviation_factor' = 3.0
This parameter returns information on the layers of the model.
More precisely, it returns a tuple with a string for every layer.
The string is as follows:
ID; NAME; TYPE; OUTPUT_SHAPE; CONNECTED_NODES
ID: Index of the layer in the CNN graph.
NAME: Human-readable identifier (optional).
TYPE: Human-readable identifier
representing the type of the layer (e.g., input or
convolution).
OUTPUT_SHAPE: Size of the output, given in the form
(Width, Height, Depth,
'batch_size').
This means, the layer has feature maps of size Width times
Height and therefrom Depth many.
Together they form an iconic object with a channel for every
feature map.
The parameter 'batch_size' determines, how many objects
are returned together.
CONNECTED_NODES: Comma separated list with IDs
of the layers using the output of the current layer as input
E.g., '3; conv1; convolution; (112, 112, 64, 160); 4'.
Note, for some networks distributed with HALCON, the network
architecture is confidential. In this case
get_dl_model_param returns an empty tuple with 'summary'.
This parameter returns the HALCON-specific model type. The following types are distinguished:
'3d_gripping_point_detection'
'anomaly_detection'
'classification'
'detection'
'gc_anomaly_detection'
'segmentation'
'ocr_recognition'
'generic' - for certain read in models or models created
with the DL framework, see set_dl_model_param.
Regularization parameter used for
the regularization of the loss function.
For a detailed description of the regularization term we refer to
train_dl_model_batch.
Simply put: Regularization favors simpler models that are less likely
to learn noise in the data and generalize better.
In case the classifier overfits the data, it is strongly
recommended to try different values for the parameter
'weight_prior' to improve the generalization properties of
the neural network. Choosing its value is a trade-off between the
models ability to generalize, overfitting, and underfitting.
If is too small, the model might overfit, if its too
large the model might loose its ability to fit the data, because all
weights are effectively zero. For finding an ideal value for
, we recommend a cross-validation, i.e. to perform the
training for a range of values and choose the value that results in
the best validation error. For typical applications, we recommend
testing the values for 'weight_prior' on a logarithmic scale
between . If the training
takes a very long time, one might consider performing the
hyperparameter optimization on a reduced amount of data.
The parameter 'weight_prior' has no effect.
Default: 'weight_prior' = 0.0, with exception of the pretrained classifiers
pretrained_dl_classifier_resnet18:
'weight_prior' = 0.0001
pretrained_dl_classifier_resnet50:
'weight_prior' = 0.0001
