saksham-gt / flutter-tflite Goto Github PK

Update: 26 April, 2023

This repo is a TensorFlow managed fork of the tflite_flutter_plugin project by the amazing Amish Garg. The goal of this project is to support our Flutter community in creating machine-learning backed apps with the TensorFlow Lite framework.

This project is currently a work-in-progress as we update it to create a working plugin that meets the latest and greatest Flutter and TensorFlow Lite standards. That said, pull requests and contributions are more than welcome and will be reviewed by TensorFlow or Flutter team members. We thank you for your understanding as we make progress on this update.

Feel free to reach out to me with questions until then.

Thanks!

TensorFlow Lite Flutter plugin provides a flexible and fast solution for accessing TensorFlow Lite interpreter and performing inference. The API is similar to the TFLite Java and Swift APIs. It directly binds to TFLite C API making it efficient (low-latency). Offers acceleration support using NNAPI, GPU delegates on Android, Metal and CoreML delegates on iOS, and XNNPack delegate on Desktop platforms.

• Multi-platform Support for Android and iOS
• Flexibility to use any TFLite Model.
• Acceleration using multi-threading.
• Similar structure as TensorFlow Lite Java API.
• Inference speeds close to native Android Apps built using the Java API.
• Run inference in different isolates to prevent jank in UI thread.

Copy the folders from https://github.com/tensorflow/flutter-tflite/tree/main/releases/download/android into your project's /android/app/src/main/jniLibs directory.

1. Download TensorFlowLiteC.framework.
2. Place the TensorFlowLiteC.framework in the pub-cache folder of this package.

Pub-Cache folder location: (ref)

• ~/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/tflite_flutter-<plugin-version>/ios/ (Linux/ Mac)
• %LOCALAPPDATA%\Pub\Cache\hosted\pub.dartlang.org\tflite_flutter-<plugin-version>\ios\ (Windows)

Note: TFLite may not work in the iOS simulator. It's recommended that you test with a physical device.

The helper library has been deprecated. New development underway for a replacement at https://github.com/google/flutter-mediapipe

import 'package:tflite_flutter/tflite_flutter.dart';

• From asset

  Place your_model.tflite in assets directory. Make sure to include assets in pubspec.yaml.

  final interpreter = await tfl.Interpreter.fromAsset('your_model.tflite');

Refer to the documentation for info on creating interpreter from buffer or file.

• For single input and output

  Use void run(Object input, Object output).

  // For ex: if input tensor shape [1,5] and type is float32
  var input = [[1.23, 6.54, 7.81, 3.21, 2.22]];
  
  // if output tensor shape [1,2] and type is float32
  var output = List.filled(1*2, 0).reshape([1,2]);
  
  // inference
  interpreter.run(input, output);
  
  // print the output
  print(output);

• For multiple inputs and outputs

  Use void runForMultipleInputs(List<Object> inputs, Map<int, Object> outputs).

  var input0 = [1.23];  
  var input1 = [2.43];  
  
  // input: List<Object>
  var inputs = [input0, input1, input0, input1];  
  
  var output0 = List<double>.filled(1, 0);  
  var output1 = List<double>.filled(1, 0);
  
  // output: Map<int, Object>
  var outputs = {0: output0, 1: output1};
  
  // inference  
  interpreter.runForMultipleInputs(inputs, outputs);
  
  // print outputs
  print(outputs)

interpreter.close();
