Super-Quick Image Classification with MobileNetV2

How to classify images using MobileNet V2 ? Want to turn any JPG into a set of top-5 predictions in under 5 minutes?

In this hands-on tutorial I’ll walk you line-by-line through loading MobileNetV2, prepping an image with OpenCV, and decoding the results—all in pure Python.

Perfect for beginners who need a lightweight model or anyone looking to add instant AI super-powers to an app.

What You’ll Learn 🔍:

  • Loading MobileNetV2 pretrained on ImageNet (1000 classes)
  • Reading images with OpenCV and converting BGR → RGB
  • Resizing to 224×224 & batching with np.expand_dims
  • Using preprocess_input (scales pixels to -1…1)
  • Running inference on CPU/GPU (model.predict)
  • Grabbing the single highest class with np.argmax
  • Getting human-readable labels & probabilities via decode_predictions
