Caffe on Mobile Devices

TODO

For iPhone Simulator

Step 1: Build Caffe-Mobile Lib with cmake&make

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/solrex/caffe-mobile.git
$ cd caffe-mobile/third_party
$ ./build-protobuf-3.1.0.sh
$ mkdir ../build
$ cd ../build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../third_party/ios-cmake/toolchain/iOS.cmake \
  -DIOS_PLATFORM=SIMULATOR -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$PWD/../third_party/protobuf
$ make -j 4

Step 2: Build Example iOS App: CaffeSimple with Xcode

• For CaffeSimple to run, you need a pre-trained LeNet on MNIST caffe model and the weight file. Follow the instructions in Training LeNet on MNIST with Caffe to train your LeNet Model on MNIST. Then copy the model file caffe/examples/mnist/lenet.prototxt and the trained weight file caffe/examples/mnist/lenet_iter_10000.caffemodel to CaffeSimple app directory.

$ cp $CAFFE/examples/mnist/lenet.prototxt $CAFFE_MOBILE/examples/ios/simple/CaffeSimple/data/
$ cp $CAFFE/examples/mnist/lenet_iter_10000.caffemodel $CAFFE_MOBILE/examples/ios/simple/CaffeSimple/data/

• Load the Xcode project inside the $CAFFE_MOBILE/examples/ios/simple/ folder, and press Command-R to build and run it on the simulator.

For iPhone

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/solrex/caffe-mobile.git
$ cd caffe-mobile/third_party
$ ./build-protobuf-3.1.0.sh
$ mkdir ../build
$ cd ../build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../third_party/ios-cmake/toolchain/iOS.cmake \
  -DIOS_PLATFORM=OS -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$PWD/../third_party/protobuf
$ make -j 4

Step 2: Build Example iOS App: CaffeSimple with Xcode

• For CaffeSimple to run, you need a pre-trained LeNet on MNIST caffe model and the weight file. Follow the instructions in Training LeNet on MNIST with Caffe to train your LeNet Model on MNIST. Then copy the model file caffe/examples/mnist/lenet.prototxt and the trained weight file caffe/examples/mnist/lenet_iter_10000.caffemodel to CaffeSimple app directory.

$ cp $CAFFE/examples/mnist/lenet.prototxt $CAFFE_MOBILE/examples/ios/simple/CaffeSimple/data/
$ cp $CAFFE/examples/mnist/lenet_iter_10000.caffemodel $CAFFE_MOBILE/examples/ios/simple/CaffeSimple/data/

• Load the Xcode project inside the $CAFFE_MOBILE/examples/ios/simple/ folder, and press Command-R to build and run it on your connected device.

For OSX Check built

==================

Step 1: Build Caffe-Mobile Lib with cmake&make

OSX 1: Use brew installed protobuf

$ brew install protobuf
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j 4

OSX 2: Use self built protobuf

$ cd third_party
$ ./build-protobuf-3.1.0.sh
$ cd ../build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$PWD/../third_party/protobuf
$ make -j 4

Step 2: Build Caffe-bin with cmake&make

$ brew install gflags
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$PWD/../third_party/protobuf -DTOOLS
$ make -j 4
