    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
