MatConvNet vs. Python vs. TFLearn vs. VisionPro Deep Learning Comparison Chart

The VLFeat open source library implements popular computer vision algorithms specializing in image understanding and local features extraction and matching. Algorithms include Fisher Vector, VLAD, SIFT, MSER, k-means, hierarchical k-means, agglomerative information bottleneck, SLIC superpixels, quick shift superpixels, large scale SVM training, and many others. It is written in C for efficiency and compatibility, with interfaces in MATLAB for ease of use, and detailed documentation throughout. It supports Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. MatConvNet is a MATLAB toolbox implementing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for computer vision applications. It is simple, efficient, and can run and learn state-of-the-art CNNs. Many pre-trained CNNs for image classification, segmentation, face recognition, and text detection are available.

TFlearn is a modular and transparent deep learning library built on top of Tensorflow. It was designed to provide a higher-level API to TensorFlow in order to facilitate and speed up experimentations while remaining fully transparent and compatible with it. Easy-to-use and understand high-level API for implementing deep neural networks, with tutorial and examples. Fast prototyping through highly modular built-in neural network layers, regularizers, optimizers, metrics. Full transparency over Tensorflow. All functions are built over tensors and can be used independently of TFLearn. Powerful helper functions to train any TensorFlow graph, with support of multiple inputs, outputs, and optimizers. Easy and beautiful graph visualization, with details about weights, gradients, activations and more. The high-level API currently supports most of the recent deep learning models, such as Convolutions, LSTM, BiRNN, BatchNorm, PReLU, Residual networks, Generative networks.
