Note that the images must be drawn with white on black. If you use black on white, it the accuracy becomes terrible. This is a good very example of brittleness in AI systems!
We can try the code adapted from thenewstack.io/tutorial-using-a-pre-trained-onnx-model-for-inferencing/ at python/onnx_cheat/infer_mnist.py:and it works pretty well! The protram outputs:as desired.
cd python/onnx_cheat
./infer_mnist.py lenet.onnx infer_mnist_9.png
9
We can also try with images directly from Extract MNIST images.and the accuracy is great as expected.
