PaddleClas is an image classification and image recognition toolset for industry and academia, helping users train better computer vision models and apply them in real scenarios.
- 2022.6.15 Release **P**ractical **U**ltra **L**ight-weight image **C**lassification solutions. PULC models inference within 3ms on CPU devices, with accuracy comparable with SwinTransformer. We also release 9 practical models covering pedestrian, vehicle and OCR.
- 2022.4.21 Added the related [code](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleClas/pull/1820/files) of the CVPR2022 oral paper [MixFormer](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.02557.pdf).
For the introduction of PP-LCNet, please refer to [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2109.15099.pdf) or [PP-LCNet model introduction](docs/en/models/PP-LCNet_en.md). The metrics and pretrained model are available [here](docs/en/ImageNet_models_en.md).
- 2021.06.29 Add Swin-transformer series model，Highest top1 acc on ImageNet1k dataset reaches 87.2%, training, evaluation and inference are all supported. Pretrained models can be downloaded [here](docs/en/models/models_intro_en.md).
- 2021.06.16 PaddleClas release/2.2. Add metric learning and vector search modules. Add product recognition, animation character recognition, vehicle recognition and logo recognition. Added 30 pretrained models of LeViT, Twins, TNT, DLA, HarDNet, and RedNet, and the accuracy is roughly the same as that of the paper.
PaddleClas release PP-HGNet、PP-LCNetv2、 PP-LCNet and **S**imple **S**emi-supervised **L**abel **D**istillation algorithms, and support plenty of
image classification and image recognition algorithms.
Based on th algorithms above, PaddleClas release PP-ShiTu image recognition system and **P**ractical **U**ltra **L**ight-weight image **C**lassification solutions.

PULC solutions consists of PP-LCNet light-weight backbone, SSLD pretrained models, Ensemble of Data Augmentation strategy and SKL-UGI knowledge distillation.
PULC models inference within 3ms on CPU devices, with accuracy comparable with SwinTransformer. We also release 9 practical models covering pedestrian, vehicle and OCR.
For a new unknown category, there is no need to retrain the model, just prepare images of new category, extract features and update retrieval database and the category can be recognised.
