You don’t need to do a bunch of image mangling yourself to use a Core ML model with an image — the new Vision framework can do that for you.
import Vision
import CoreML
let model = try VNCoreMLModel(for: MyCoreMLGeneratedModelClass().model)
let request = VNCoreMLRequest(model: model, completionHandler: myResultsMethod)
let handler = VNImageRequestHandler(url: myImageURL)
handler.perform([request])
func myResultsMethod(request: VNRequest, error: Error?) {
guard let results = request.results as? [VNClassificationObservation]
else { fatalError("huh") }
for classification in results {
print(classification.identifier, // the scene label
classification.confidence)
}
}
The WWDC17 session on Vision should have a bit more info — it’s tomorrow afternoon.
