TensorFlow Lite on Android

We can start using the demo app provided in the TensorFlow GitHub repository. This is a camera application that classifies images continuously using either a floating point Inception-v3 model or a quantized MobileNet model. Try this using Android Version 5.0 or preceding.

This application performs real-time classification of frames. It displays the top most-probable classification categories. It also displays the time taken to detect the object.

There are three ways to get the demo app on your device:

  • You can download the APK binary, which is pre-built
  • You can build on Android Studio and run the application
  • You can use Bazel to download the source code of TensorFlow Lite, and run the app through the command line
