This tutorial shows how to do multiclass image classification with Keras, using keras.preprocessing.image.flow_from_directory() to feed the image files for training and prediction.

Prepare Directory Structure
- download dataset from https://www.kaggle.com/c/plant-seedlings-classification/data
- put original training files in <root>/data/train
- put original test files in <root>/data/test/0 . Caution: test files must be put into a directory under /data/test. For simplicity, we create /data/test/0, but any directory name is okay, as long as it is under /data/test
- create <root>/plant-src to store source codes
Here is the directory structure after previous steps:
Import Libraries
import tensorflow as tf
import keras as keras
import os
from keras.layers import Flatten, Dense, AveragePooling2D, GlobalAveragePooling2D
from keras.models import Model
from keras.optimizers import RMSprop, SGD
from keras.callbacks import ModelCheckpoint
from keras.callbacks import EarlyStopping
from keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator
from keras.callbacks import CSVLogger
from keras.layers.normalization import BatchNormalization
import numpy as np
from keras.models import load_model
from pathlib import Path
import shutil
Make Training & Validation Directories
Create directories for training and validation set. A little bit complicated, since flow_from_directory() required that each class has it’s own directory.
#making training & validation directories
import pathlib
session='simpleNASNet'
classnames=['Black-grass','Charlock','Cleavers','Common Chickweed','Common wheat','Fat Hen','Loose Silky-bent','Maize','Scentless Mayweed','Shepherds Purse','Small-flowered Cranesbill','Sugar beet']
train_dir="../"+session+"/train"
valid_dir="../"+session+"/valid"
for dirname in classnames:
# print(dirname)
fulldirname=train_dir+'/'+dirname
print(fulldirname)
pathlib.Path(fulldirname).mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
fulldirname=valid_dir+'/'+dirname
print(fulldirname)
pathlib.Path(fulldirname).mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
Split training data between training set and validation set. Usual 80%-20% split is used.
#copy image files, split 80% training- 20% validation
counter=0
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(original_data_dir):
for file in files:
fullfilename = os.path.join(root, file)
basename=os.path.basename(fullfilename)
#detect image classification from directory name
split1=os.path.split(fullfilename)
split2=os.path.split(split1[0])
classname=str(split2[1])#classname for this particular file
if((counter%5)==0): #copy validation
dst_filename=valid_dir+"/"+classname+"/"+basename
shutil.copyfile(fullfilename,dst_filename)
else: #copy training
dst_filename=train_dir+"/"+classname+"/"+basename
shutil.copyfile(fullfilename,dst_filename)
counter=counter+1
Model
Prepare model, we use NASNet with 331×331 input, using pre-trained weight from Imagenet. Top layers are omitted, and replaced with a Dense layer of 1024 cells and 12 cells output layer for each class. Output activation is softmax, which is usual for multiclass classification.
#prepare model
img_width=331
img_height=331
network_notop = keras.applications.nasnet.NASNetLarge(input_shape=(img_width, img_height, 3),
include_top=False,
weights='imagenet', input_tensor=None,
pooling=None)
x = network_notop.output
x = GlobalAveragePooling2D()(x)
x = Dense(1024, activation='relu')(x)
x = BatchNormalization()(x)
predictions = Dense(12, activation='softmax')(x)
the_model = Model(network_notop.input, predictions)
Training
Standard training.
Specific parameter for multiclass classification:
- loss=’categorical_crossentropy’ in model.compile()
- class_mode=’categorical’ in flow_from_directory()
#training

optimizer = SGD(lr=learning_rate, momentum=0.9, decay=0.0, nesterov=True)
the_model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer=optimizer, metrics=['accuracy'])
csv_logger = CSVLogger(logfile, append=True)
early_stopping = EarlyStopping(monitor='val_loss', min_delta=0, patience=10, verbose=1, mode='auto')
best_model_filename=session+'-weights.{epoch:02d}-{val_loss:.2f}.h5'
best_model = ModelCheckpoint(best_model_filename, monitor='val_acc', verbose=1, save_best_only=True)
# this is the augmentation configuration we will use for training

Prediction & Submission
Caution: test files must be put into a directory under /data/test. For simplicity, we create /data/test/0, but any directory name is okay, as long as it is under /data/test . This behavior is quite strange, but maybe to make flow_from_directory() work the same way for training phase and prediction/inference phase.
