This tutorial contains 3 parts: Environment Preparation, Image Recognition Experience, and Unknown Category Image Recognition Experience.
If the image category already exists in the image index database, then you can take a reference to chapter [Image Recognition Experience](#image_recognition_experience)，to complete the progress of image recognition；If you wish to recognize unknow category image, which is not included in the index database，you can take a reference to chapter [Unknown Category Image Recognition Experience](#unkonw_category_image_recognition_experience)，to complete the process of creating an index to recognize it。

## 2. Image Recognition Experience
The detection model with the recognition inference model for the 4 directions (Logo, Cartoon Face, Vehicle, Product), the address for downloading the test data and the address of the corresponding configuration file are as follows.
| Models Introduction | Recommended Scenarios | Test Data Address | inference Model | Predict Config File | Config File to Build Index Database |
**Attention**：If you do not have wget installed on Windows, you can download the model by copying the link into your browser and unzipping it in the appropriate folder; for Linux or macOS users, you can right-click and copy the download link to download it via the `wget` command.
* You can download and unzip the data and models by following the command below
```shell
mkdir dataset
cd dataset
# Download the demo data and unzip
wget {Data download link} && tar -xf {Name of the tar archive}
cd ..
mkdir models
cd models
# Download and unzip the inference model
wget {Models download link} && tar -xf {Name of the tar archive}
Take the product recognition as an example, download the detection model, recognition model and product recognition demo data with the following commands.
The `data_file.txt` is images list used to build the index database, the `gallery` folder contains all the original images used to build the index database, the `index` folder contains the index files generated by building the index database, and the `query` is the demo image used to test the recognition effect.
The `models` folder should have the following file structure.
Take the product recognition demo as an example to show the recognition and retrieval process (if you wish to try other scenarios of recognition and retrieval, replace the corresponding configuration file after downloading and unzipping the corresponding demo data and model to complete the prediction)。
where bbox indicates the location of the detected subject, rec_docs indicates the labels corresponding to a number of images in the index dabase that are most similar to the detected subject, and rec_scores indicates the corresponding similarity.
If you want to predict the images in the folder, you can directly modify the `Global.infer_imgs` field in the configuration file, or you can also modify the corresponding configuration through the following `-o` parameter.
Furthermore, the recognition inference model path can be changed by modifying the `Global.rec_inference_model_dir` field, and the path of the index to the index databass can be changed by modifying the `IndexProcess.index_path` field.
Since the index infomation is not included in the corresponding index databse, the recognition results are not proper. At this time, we can complete the image recognition of unknown categories by constructing a new index database.
When the index database cannot cover the scenes we actually recognise, i.e. when predicting images of unknown categories, we need to add similar images of the corresponding categories to the index databasey, thus completing the recognition of images of unknown categories ，which does not require retraining.
First, you need to copy the images which are similar with the image to retrieval to the original images for the index database. The command is as follows.
Then you need to create a new label file which records the image path and label information. Use the following command to create a new file based on the original one.
Then add some new lines into the new label file, which is shown as follows.
```
gallery/anmuxi/001.jpg 安慕希酸奶
gallery/anmuxi/002.jpg 安慕希酸奶
gallery/anmuxi/003.jpg 安慕希酸奶
gallery/anmuxi/004.jpg 安慕希酸奶
gallery/anmuxi/005.jpg 安慕希酸奶
gallery/anmuxi/006.jpg 安慕希酸奶
```
Each line can be splited into two fields. The first field denotes the relative image path, and the second field denotes its label. The `delimiter` is `space` here.
Finally, the new index information is stored in the folder`./dataset/product_demo_data_v1.0/index_update`. Use the new index database for the above index.
