Description

A small tool to dump Caffe's *.caffemodel to JSON for inspection (*.prototxt files is not needed). Will not print all the weights to make the output concise. This tool (with all weights output) can be used to generate json input for DeepLearningKit for conv.nets generated in Caffe.

Example

./caffemodel2json.py CAFFE_ROOT/src/caffe/proto/caffe.proto model_name.caffemodel > dump.json

Output would be something like:

protobuf: calling protoc
protobuf: generated
protobuf: imported
   model: caffemodel read in memory. Deserialization will take a few minutes. Take a coffee!
   model: deserialized
   model: json saved

ALLOK. Quitting

Dependencies

1. Python
2. protobuf (with Python bindings)
3. Caffe's caffe.proto (or from a Caffe's fork, it's important if you are inspecting a model that implements new Caffe layers)

Credits

The tool reuses a function from https://github.com/dpp-name/protobuf-json. Great thanks to Paul Dovbush for making it available.
