1. 前言
近些年来，随着以卷积神经网络（CNN）为代表的深度学习在图像识别领域的突破，越来越多的图像识别算法不断涌现。在去年，我们初步成功尝试了图像识别在测试领域的应用：将网站样式错乱问题、无线领域机型适配问题转换为“特定场景下的正常图片和异常图片的二分类问题”，并借助Goolge开源的Inception V3网络进行迁移学习，重训练出对应场景下的图片分类模型，问题图片的准确率达到95%以上。
过去一年，我们在图片智能识别做的主要工作包括：
- 模型的落地和参数调优
- 模型的服务化
- 模型服务的优化（包括数据库连接池的引入、gunicorn容器的引入、docker化等）
本篇文章主要是对模型重训练的源码进行学习和分析，加深对模型训练过程的理解，以便后续在对模型训练过程进行调整时有的放矢。
这边对迁移学习做个简单解释：图像识别往往包含数以百万计的参数，从头训练需要大量打好标签的图片，还需要大量的计算力（往往数百小时的GPU时间）。对此，迁移学习是一个捷径，它可以在已经训练好的相似工作模型基础上，继续训练新的模型。
2. retrain.py源码分析
目前我们使用的图像智能服务，对于迁移学习的代码，是参考的开源代码 github: tensorflow/hub/image_retraining/retrain.py。
下面是对源码的学习和解读：
2.1 执行主入口main：
if __name__ == '__main__':
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument(
'--image_dir',
type=str,
default='',
help='Path to folders of labeled images.'
)
parser.add_argument(
'--output_graph',
type=str,
default='/tmp/output_graph.pb',
help='Where to save the trained graph.'
)
......省略......
parser.add_argument(
'--logging_verbosity',
type=str,
default='INFO',
choices=['DEBUG', 'INFO', 'WARN', 'ERROR', 'FATAL'],
help='How much logging output should be produced.')
FLAGS, unparsed = parser.parse_known_args()
tf.app.run(main=main, argv=[sys.argv[0]] + unparsed)
可以看到，程序main入口主要是对输入参数的声明和解析，实际执行时传入的参数会存入到FLAGS变量中，然后执行tf.app.run(main=main, argv=[sys.argv[0]] + unparsed)开始正式训练。

if FLAGS.saved_model_dir:
export_model(module_spec, class_count, FLAGS.saved_model_dir)main方法中的一些细节解释已经用中文备注在上述代码（使用“##”开头）中，它的主要步骤是：
- 设置log级别
- 准备workspace
- 从image_dir载入输入图片集，并创建image_lists，该image_lists是一个字段，key为各个类别，value为对应类别的图集（包含训练集、测试集、验证集，划分比例默认为0.8、0.1、0.1）
- 载入在ImageNet上已经训练好的Inception V3网络的特征张量
- 针对每个图片，调用图片解码操作获得图片的原始张量和解码后张量
- 针对每个图片的jpeg_data_tensor和decoded_image_tensor，创建其对应的bottlenects（实际上是1*2048维的张量），并缓存到磁盘
- 获取训练步骤、交叉熵
- 开始迭代训练
- 每迭代10次，打印训练的精度和交叉熵，打印验证集的测试结果。默认情况下训练集和测试集都是取100张图
- 训练完成后，使用测试集进行最后的评估
- 结果的打印和保存
