# VGGNet-Metal-iOS

You need an iPhone or iPad that supports Metal, running iOS 10 or better. (I have only tested the app on an iPhone 6s.)

NOTE: The source code won't run as-is. You need to do the following before you can build the Xcode project:

0 (optional) - If you don't want to set up a local environment for all of below, you can download the coverted file from here.

1 - Download the prototxt file.

2 - Download the caffemodel file.
http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/software/very_deep/caffe/VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel

3 - Run the conversion script from Terminal (requires Python 3 and the numpy and google.protobuf packages):

$ python3 convert_vggnet.py VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers_deploy.prototxt VGG_ILSVRC_16_layers.caffemodel ./output

This generates the file ./output/parameters.data. It will take a few minutes! The reason you need to download the caffemodel file and convert it yourself is that parameters.data is a 500+ MB file and you can't put those on GitHub.

4 - Copy parameters.data into the VGGNet-iOS/VGGNet folder.

5 - Now you can build the app in Xcode (version 8.0 or better). You can only build for the device, the simulator isn't supported (gives compiler errors).
