Standard HuggingFace Usage

python

from transformers import pipeline

# The model automatically handles preprocessing
classifier = pipeline("image-classification", model="dchen0/font-classifier-v4")
results = classifier("your_image.png")
print(f"Predicted font: {results[0]['label']}")

Direct Model Usage

python

from PIL import Image
import torch
from transformers import AutoImageProcessor
from font_classifier_with_preprocessing import FontClassifierWithPreprocessing

# Load model and processor
model = FontClassifierWithPreprocessing.from_pretrained("dchen0/font-classifier-v4")
processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained("dchen0/font-classifier-v4")

# Process image (model handles pad_to_square automatically)
image = Image.open("test.png")
inputs = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)

Model Architecture

Base Model: facebook/dinov2-base-imagenet1k-1-layer
Fine-tuning: LoRA on Google Fonts dataset
Labels: 394 font families
Preprocessing: Built-in pad-to-square + ImageNet normalization

Server-Side Preprocessing

This model automatically applies the following preprocessing in its forward pass:

Pad to square preserving aspect ratio
Resize to 224×224
Normalize with ImageNet statistics

No client-side preprocessing required - just send raw images!

Deployment

HuggingFace Inference Endpoints

Deploy this model to an Inference Endpoint
Send raw images directly - preprocessing happens automatically
Achieve ~86% accuracy out of the box

Custom Deployment

The model includes preprocessing in the forward pass, so any deployment (TorchServe, TensorFlow Serving, etc.) will automatically apply correct preprocessing.

Technical Details

The model inherits from Dinov2ForImageClassification but overrides the forward pass to include:

python

def forward(self, pixel_values=None, labels=None, **kwargs):
    # Automatic preprocessing happens here
    processed_pixel_values = self.preprocess_images(pixel_values)
    return super().forward(pixel_values=processed_pixel_values, labels=labels, **kwargs)

This ensures that whether clients send raw images or pre-processed tensors, the model receives correctly formatted input.
