ccv

Abstraction: Open-source C vision library releasing near-state-of-the-art CNN image classifier

Key points:

• ccv 0.6 ships a deep convolutional neural network image classifier trained on ILSVRC 2010 (1000 classes): top-1 error 36.83%, top-5 error 16.25% (vs. Clarifai's 11.19% on ILSVRC 2013)
• The classifier and other pretrained models (pedestrian, car, face detectors) are re-licensed from BSD 3-clause to Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 to ease adoption
• At time of release (2014) other open-source CNN implementations existed (Caffe with full implementation; OverFeat and cuda-convnet with incomplete implementations) but all had research-focused licenses
• Classifier is accessible via a RESTful HTTP API at localhost:3350/convnet/classify; autoconf build system added in this version
• Plans included entering ILSVRC 2014 and publishing benchmark results on FDDB and LFW datasets
