birdclassifier

This app is a CLI bird classifier using a specific pretrained Tensorflow model and specific bird labels.

As it is now, it needs network access so that it works, since both the model and the labels are being fetched from the internet.

Installation

Simply run within a python virtual environment running Python of version 3.9 or greater:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Use

This app comes with a simple but handy CLI API.

We've put some test images of birds in the images directory, imgs/.

To test some of them simply run from within this directory:

python runner.py file://$PWD/imgs/bird_01.jpg

or using a url where a bird image has been stored:

python runner.py 'https://i.imgur.com/8eGMhGP.jpg'

or with more than one image:

python runner.py 'https://i.imgur.com/8eGMhGP.jpg', 
'https://i.imgur.com/TRVxZAZ.jpg',
'https://i.imgur.com/kBHq8Xt.jpg',
'https://i.imgur.com/wmEaY0t.jpg',
'https://i.imgur.com/olSQAGI.jpg'

If you try running the runner.py without inserting any image, or comma separated images, you should get a warning.

To get help on how to run the runner.py script, write:

python runner.py --help
