 # OTBTF: Orfeo ToolBox meets TensorFlow
 
-[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache%202.0-blue.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0)
-[![pipeline status](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/remi.cresson/otbtf/badges/master/pipeline.svg)](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/remi.cresson/otbtf/-/commits/develop)
-
-This remote module of the [Orfeo ToolBox](https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org) provides a generic, multi purpose deep learning framework, targeting remote sensing images processing.
-It contains a set of new process objects that internally invoke [Tensorflow](https://www.tensorflow.org/), and a bunch of user-oriented applications to perform deep learning with real-world remote sensing images.
-Applications can be used to build OTB pipelines from Python or C++ APIs. 
-
-## Features
-
-### OTB Applications
-
-- Sample patches in remote sensing images with `PatchesExtraction`,
-- Model training, supporting save/restore/import operations (a model can be trained from scratch or fine-tuned) with `TensorflowModelTrain`,
-- Inference with support of OTB streaming mechanism with `TensorflowModelServe`. The streaming mechanism means (1) no limitation with images sizes, (2) inference can be used as a "lego" in any OTB pipeline (using C++ or Python APIs) and preserving streaming, (3) MPI support available (use multiple processing unit to generate one single output image)
-
-### Python
-
-The `otbtf` module targets python developers that want to train their own model from python with TensorFlow or Keras.
-It provides various classes for datasets and iterators to handle the _patches images_ generated from the `PatchesExtraction` OTB application.
-For instance, the `otbtf.DatasetFromPatchesImages` can be instantiated from a set of _patches images_
-and delivering samples as `tf.dataset` that can be used in your favorite TensorFlow pipelines, or convert your patches into TFRecords.
-The `otbtf.TFRecords` enables you train networks from TFRecords files, which is quite suited for 
-distributed training. Read more in the [tutorial for keras](otbtf/examples/tensorflow_v2x/fcnn/README.md).
-
-`tricks.py` is here for backward compatibility with codes based on OTBTF 1.x and 2.x.
-
-## Examples
-
-Below are some screen captures of deep learning applications performed at large scale with OTBTF.
- - Landcover mapping (Spot-7 images --> Building map using semantic segmentation)
-
-![Landcover mapping](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/remi.cresson/otbtf/-/raw/develop/doc/images/landcover.png)
-
- - Super resolution (Sentinel-2 images upsampled with the [SR4RS software](https://github.com/remicres/sr4rs), which is based on OTBTF)
- 
-![Super resolution](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/remi.cresson/otbtf/-/raw/develop/doc/images/supresol.png)
-
- - Sentinel-2 reconstruction with Sentinel-1 VV/VH with the [Decloud software](https://github.com/CNES/decloud), which is based on OTBTF
-
-![Decloud](https://github.com/CNES/decloud/raw/master/doc/images/cap2.jpg)

-## How to install
-
-For now you have two options: either use the existing **docker image**, or build everything **from source**.
-
-### Docker

-# Description of applications
-
-This section introduces the new OTB applications provided in OTBTF.
-
-## Patches extraction
-
-The `PatchesExtraction` application performs the extraction of patches in images from a vector data containing points.
-Each point locates the **center** of the **central pixel** of the patch.
-For patches with even size of *N*, the **central pixel** corresponds to the pixel index *N/2+1* (index starting at 0).
-We denote one _input source_, either an input image, or a stack of input images that will be concatenated (they must have the same size). 
-The user can set the `OTB_TF_NSOURCES` environment variable to select the number of _input sources_ that he wants.
-For example, for sampling a Time Series (TS) together with a single Very High Resolution image (VHR), two sources are required: 
- - 1 input images list for time series,
- - 1 input image for the VHR.
-
-The sampled patches are extracted at each positions designed by the input vector data, only if a patch lies fully in all _input sources_ extents.
-For each _input source_, patches sizes must be provided.
-For each _input source_, the application export all sampled patches as a single multiband raster, stacked in rows.
-For instance, for *n* samples of size *16 x 16* from a *4* channels _input source_, the output image will be a raster of size *16 x 16n* with *4* channels. 
-An optional output is an image of size *1 x n* containing the value of one specific field of the input vector data. 
-Typically, the *class* field can be used to generate a dataset suitable for a model that performs pixel wise classification. 
-
-![Schema](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/remi.cresson/otbtf/-/raw/develop/doc/images/patches_extraction.png)
-
-```

-## Build your Tensorflow model <a name="buildmodel"></a>
-
-You can build models using the TensorFlow Python API as shown in the `./python/` directory.
-Models must be exported in **SavedModel** format.
-When using a model in OTBTF, the important thing is to know the following parameters related to the _placeholders_ (the inputs of your model) and _output tensors_ (the outputs of your model).
- - For each _input placeholder_:
-   - Name
-   - **Receptive field**
- - For each _output tensor_:
-   - Name 
-   - **Expression field**
-   - **Scale factor**
-
-![Schema](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/remi.cresson/otbtf/-/raw/develop/doc/images/schema.png)
-
-The **scale factor** describes the physical change of spacing of the outputs, typically introduced in the model by non unitary strides in pooling or convolution operators.
-For each output, it is expressed relatively to one single input of the model called the _reference input source_.
-Additionally, the names of the _target nodes_ must be known (e.g. "optimizer").
-Also, the names of _user placeholders_, typically scalars placeholders that are used to control some parameters of the model, must be know (e.g. "dropout_rate").
-The **receptive field** corresponds to the input volume that "sees" the deep net.
-The **expression field** corresponds to the output volume that the deep net will create.
-
-## Train your Tensorflow model
-
-Here we assume that you have produced patches using the **PatchesExtraction** application, and that you have a **SavedModel** stored in a directory somewhere on your filesystem.
-The **TensorflowModelTrain** application performs the training, validation (against test dataset, and against validation dataset) providing the usual metrics that machine learning frameworks provide (confusion matrix, recall, precision, f-score, ...).
-You must provide the path of the **SavedModel** to the `model.dir` parameter.
-The `model.restorefrom` and `model.saveto` corresponds to the variables of the **SavedModel** used respectively for restoring and saving them.
-Set you _input sources_ for training (`training` parameter group) and for validation (`validation` parameter group): the evaluation is performed against training data, and optionally also against the validation data (only if you set `validation.mode` to "class").
-For each _input sources_, the patch size and the placeholder name must be provided.
-Regarding validation, if a different name is found in a particular _input source_ of the `validation` parameter group, the application knows that the _input source_ is not fed to the model at inference, but is used as reference to compute evaluation metrics of the validation dataset.
-Batch size (`training.batchsize`) and number of epochs (`training.epochs`) can be set.
-_User placeholders_ can be set separately for training (`training.userplaceholders`) and validation (`validation.userplaceholders`).
-The `validation.userplaceholders` can be useful if you have a model that behaves differently depending the given placeholder. 
-Let's take the example of dropout: it's nice for training, but you have to disable it to use the model at inference time. 
-Hence you will pass a placeholder with "dropout\_rate=0.3" for training and "dropout\_rate=0.0" for validation. 
-Of course, one can train models from handmade python code: to import the patches images, a convenient method consist in reading patches images as numpy arrays using OTB applications (e.g. **ExtractROI**) or GDAL, then do a np.reshape to the dimensions wanted.

-
-As you can note, there is `$OTB_TF_NSOURCES` + 1 sources because we often need at least one more source for the reference data (e.g. terrain truth for land cover mapping).
-
-## Inference
-
-The **TensorflowModelServe** application performs the inference, it can be used to produce an output raster with the specified tensors. 
-Thanks to the streaming mechanism, very large images can be produced. 
-The application uses the `TensorflowModelFilter` and a `StreamingFilter` to force the streaming of output. 
-This last can be optionally disabled by the user, if he prefers using the extended filenames to deal with chunk sizes. 
-However, it's still very useful when the application is used in other composites applications, or just without extended filename magic. 
-Some models can consume a lot of memory. 
-In addition, the native tiling strategy of OTB consists in strips but this might not always the best. 
-For Convolutional Neural Networks for instance, square tiles are more interesting because the padding required to perform the computation of one single strip of pixels induces to input a lot more pixels that to process the computation of one single tile of pixels.
-So, this application takes in input one or multiple _input sources_ (the number of _input sources_ can be changed by setting the `OTB_TF_NSOURCES` to the desired number) and produce one output of the specified tensors.
-The user is responsible of giving the **receptive field** and **name** of _input placeholders_, as well as the **expression field**, **scale factor** and **name** of _output tensors_.
-The first _input source_ (`source1.il`) corresponds to the _reference input source_.
-As explained [previously](#buildmodel), the **scale factor** provided for the _output tensors_ is related to this _reference input source_.
-The user can ask for multiple _output tensors_, that will be stack along the channel dimension of the output raster.
-However, if the sizes of those _output tensors_ are not consistent (e.g. a different number of (x,y) elements), an exception will be thrown.

-This is possible thank to two new applications that uses the existing training/classification applications of OTB:
-
-**TrainClassifierFromDeepFeatures**: is a composite application that wire the **TensorflowModelServe** application output into the existing official **TrainImagesClassifier** application.

-
-# Basic example
-
-Below is a minimal example that presents the main steps to train a model, and perform the inference.
-
-## Sampling
-
-Here we will try to provide a simple example of doing a classification using a deep net that performs on one single VHR image.
-Our data set consists in one Spot-7 image, *spot7.tif*, and a training vector data, *terrain_truth.shp* that describes sparsely forest / non-forest polygons.
-First, we compute statistics of the vector data : how many points can we sample inside objects, and how many objects in each class.
-We use the **PolygonClassStatistics** application of OTB.
-```
-otbcli_PolygonClassStatistics -vec terrain_truth.shp -field class -in spot7.tif -out vec_stats.xml
-```
-Then, we will select some samples with the **SampleSelection** application of the existing machine learning framework of OTB.
-Since the terrain truth is sparse, we want to sample randomly points in polygons with the default strategy of the **SampleSelection** OTB application.
-```
-otbcli_SampleSelection -in spot7.tif -vec terrain_truth.shp -instats vec_stats.xml -field class -out points.shp
-```
-Now we extract the patches with the **PatchesExtraction** application. 
-We want to produce one image of 16x16 patches, and one image for the corresponding labels.
-```
-otbcli_PatchesExtraction -source1.il spot7.tif -source1.patchsizex 16 -source1.patchsizey 16 -vec points.shp -field class -source1.out samp_labels.tif -outpatches samp_patches.tif
-```
-
-## Training
-
-Now we have two images for patches and labels. 
-We can split them to distinguish test/validation groups (with the **ExtractROI** application for instance).
-But here, we will just perform some fine tuning of our model.
-The **SavedModel** is located in the `outmodel` directory.
-Our model is quite basic: it has two input placeholders, **x1** and **y1** respectively for input patches (with size 16x16) and input reference labels (with size 1x1).
-We named **prediction** the tensor that predict the labels and the optimizer that perform the stochastic gradient descent is an operator named **optimizer**.
-We perform the fine tuning and we export the new model variables directly in the _outmodel/variables_ folder, overwriting the existing variables of the model.
-We use the **TensorflowModelTrain** application to perform the training of this existing model.
-```
-otbcli_TensorflowModelTrain -model.dir /path/to/oursavedmodel -training.targetnodesnames optimizer -training.source1.il samp_patches.tif -training.source1.patchsizex 16 -training.source1.patchsizey 16 -training.source1.placeholder x1 -training.source2.il samp_labels.tif -training.source2.patchsizex 1 -training.source2.patchsizey 1 -training.source2.placeholder y1 -model.saveto /path/to/oursavedmodel/variables/variables
-```
-Note that we could also have performed validation in this step. In this case, the `validation.source2.placeholder` would be different than the `training.source2.placeholder`, and would be **prediction**. This way, the program know what is the target tensor to evaluate. 
-
-## Inference
-
-After this step, we use the trained model to produce the entire map of forest over the whole Spot-7 image.
-For this, we use the **TensorflowModelServe** application to produce the **prediction** tensor output for the entire image.
-```
-otbcli_TensorflowModelServe -source1.il spot7.tif -source1.placeholder x1 -source1.rfieldx 16 -source1.rfieldy 16 -model.dir /path/to/oursavedmodel -output.names prediction -out map.tif uint8
-```

-# Create your own architecture
-
-This section gives a few tips to create your own models ready to be used in inference using OTBTF's `TensorflowModelServe` and `TensorflowModelTrain` applications.
-
-## Model inputs
-
-### Dimensions
-
-All networks must input **4D tensors**.
-- **dim 0** is for the batch dimension. It is used in the `TensorflowModelTrain` application during training, and in **patch-based mode** during inference: in this mode, `TensorflowModelServe` performs the inference of several patches simultaneously. In **fully-convolutional mode**, a single slice of the batch dimension is used.
-- **dim 1** and **2** are for the spatial dimensions,
-- **dim 3** is for the image channels. Even if your image have only 1 channel, you must set a shape value equals to 1 for the last dimension of the input placeholder.
-
-### Shapes
-
-For nets intended to work in **patch-based** mode, you can stick with a placeholder where you define your patch size explicitly in **dim 1** and **dim 2**.
-However, for nets intended to work in **fully-convolutional** mode, you must set `None` in **dim 1** and **dim 2** (before Tensorflow 2.X, it was possible to feed placeholders with a tensor of different size where the dims were defined, but no more after!).
-For instance, let consider an input raster with 4 spectral bands: the input shape of the model input would be like `[None, None, None, 4]` to work in fully-convolutional mode. By doing so, the use of input images of any size is enabled (`TensorflowModelServe` will automatically compute the input/output regions sizes to process, given the **receptive field** and **expression field** of your net).
-
-## Model outputs
-
-### Dimensions
-
-Supported tensors for the outputs must have **between 2 and 4 dimensions**.
-OTBTF always consider that **the size of the last dimension is the number of channels in the output**.
-For instance, you can have a model that outputs 8 channels with a tensor of shape `[None, 8]` or `[None, None, None, 8]`
-
-### Name your tensors and nodes
-
-Always name explicitly your models outputs. You will need the output tensor name for performing the inference with `TensoflowModelServe`. If you forget to name them, use the graph viewer in `tensorboard` to get the names.
-
-### Training
-
-If you want to enable your network training with the `TensorflowModelTrain` application, do not forget to name your optimizers/operators!
-You can build a single operator from multiple ones using the `tf.group` command, which also enable you to name your new operator.
-For sequential nodes trigger, you can build an operator that do what you want is the desired order using the `tf.control_dependancies` with TF <= 1.15.

+# Build and train deep learning models
+
+This section covers the use of the Python API.
+It shows how to build and train a small fully convolutional model from patches 
+extracted in the images. The example show how a model can be trained (1) from 
+**patches-images**, or (2) from **TFRecords** files.
+
+## Classes and files
+
+All files are located in *otbtf/examples/tensorflow_v2x*.

+- **train_from_tfrecords.py** shows how to train the model from TFRecords files

+files
+- **helper.py** contains a few helping functions
+
+## Datasets
+
+TensorFlow datasets are the most practical way to feed a network data during
+training steps.
+In particular, they are very useful to train models with data parallelism using
+multiple workers (i.e. multiple GPU devices).
+Since OTBTF 3, two kind of approaches are available to deliver the patches:
+- Create TF datasets from **patches-images**: the first approach implemented in
+OTBTF, relying on geospatial raster formats supported by GDAL. Patches are
+stacked in rows. patches-images are friendly because they can be visualized
+like any other image. However this approach is **not very optimized**, since it
+generates a lot of I/O and stresses the filesystem when iterating randomly over
+patches.
+- Create TF datasets from **TFRecords** files. The principle is that a number of
+patches are stored in TFRecords files (google protobuf serialized data). This
+approach provides the best performances, since it generates less I/Os since
+multiple patches are read simultaneously together. It is the recommended approach
+to work on high end gear. It requires an additional step of converting the
+patches-images into TFRecords files.
+
+### Patches-images based datasets
+
+**Patches-images** are generated from the `PatchesExtraction` application of OTBTF.
+They consist in extracted patches stacked in rows into geospatial rasters.
+The `otbtf.DatasetFromPatchesImages` provides access to **patches-images** as a
+TF dataset. It inherits from the `otbtf.Dataset` class, which can be a base class
+to develop other raster based datasets.
+The `use_streaming` option can be used to read the patches on-the-fly
+on the filesystem. However, this can cause I/O bottleneck when one training step
+is shorter that fetching one batch of data. Typically, this is very common with
+small networks trained over large amount of data using multiple GPUs, causing the
+filesystem read operation being the weak point (and the GPUs wait for the batches
+to be ready). The class offers other functionalities, for instance changing the
+iterator class with a custom one (can inherit from `otbtf.dataset.IteratorBase`)
+which is, by default, an `otbtf.dataset.RandomIterator`. This could enable to
+control how the patches are walked, from the multiple patches-images of the
+dataset.
+
+Suppose you have extracted some patches with the `PatchesExtraction`
+application with 2 sources:
+ - Source "xs": patches images *xs_1.tif*, ..., *xs_N.tif*
+ - Source "labels": patches images *labels_1.tif*, ..., *labels_N.tif*
+To create a dataset from this set of patches can be done with
+`otbtf.DatasetFromPatchesImages` as shown below.
+
+```python
+dataset = DatasetFromPatchesImages(
+    filenames_dict={
+        "input_xs_patches": ["xs_1.tif", ..., "xs_N.tif"],
+        "labels_patches": ["labels_1.tif", ..., "labels_N.tif"]
+    }
+)
+```
+
+Getting the Tensorflow dataset is done doing:
+
+```python
+tf_dataset = dataset.get_tf_dataset(
+    batch_size=8,
+    targets_keys=["predictions"]
+)
+```
+
+Here the `targets_keys` list contains all the keys of the target tensors.
+We will explain later why this has to be specified.
+
+You can also convert the dataset into TFRecords files:
+
+```python
+tf_dataset.to_tfrecords(output_dir="/tmp/")
+```
+
+TFRecords are the subject of the next section!
+
+### TFRecords batches datasets
+
+**TFRecord** based datasets are implemented in the `otbtf.tfrecords` module.
+They basically deliver patches from the TFRecords files, which can be created
+with the `to_tfrecords()` method of the `otbtf.Dataset` based classes.
+Depending on the filesystem characteristics and the computational cost of one
+training step, it can be good to select the number of samples per TFRecords file.
+Another tweak is the shuffling: since one TFRecord file contains multiple patches,
+the way TFRecords files are accessed (sometimes, we need them to be randomly
+accessed), and the way patches are accessed (within a buffer, of size set with
+the `shuffle_buffer_size`), is crucial.
+
+Creating TFRecords based datasets is super easy:
+
+```python
+dataset = TFRecords("/tmp")
+tf_dataset = dataset.read(
+    shuffle_buffer_size=1000,
+    batch_size=8,
+    target_keys=["predictions"]
+)
+```
+
+## Model
+
+Let's define the setting for our model:
+
+```python
+# Number of classes estimated by the model
+N_CLASSES = 2
+
+# Name of the input
+INPUT_NAME = "input_xs"
+
+# Name of the target output
+TARGET_NAME = "predictions"
+
+# Name (prefix) of the output we will use at inference time
+OUTPUT_SOFTMAX_NAME = "predictions_softmax_tensor"
+```
+
+Now we want to implement our model. Of course we can build from scratch
+a model based on `tf.keras.Model`, but we will see how OTBTF helps a lot with
+`otbtf.BaseModel`.
+Let's take a look to this schema:
+
+![modelbase](images/modelbase.png)
+
+As we can see, we can distinguish two main functional blocks:
+
+- training
+- inference
+
+During training, we need to preprocess the samples generated by the dataset to
+feed the network and the loss computation, that will guide how weights will be
+updated. This **data preprocessing** is generally required to format the data
+in the format expected by the model.
+
+![modelbase2](images/modelbase_2.png)
+
+In our example, the terrain truth consists in labels which are integer values
+ranging from 0 to 1. However, the loss function that computes the cross
+entropy expects one hot encoding. The first thing to do is hence to transform
+the labels values into a one hot vector:
+
+```python
+def dataset_preprocessing_fn(examples: dict):
+    return {
+        INPUT_NAME: examples["input_xs_patches"],
+        TARGET_NAME: tf.one_hot(
+            tf.squeeze(tf.cast(examples["labels_patches"], tf.int32), axis=-1),
+            depth=N_CLASSES
+        )
+    }
+```
+
+The model is intended to work on real world images, which have often 16 bits
+signed integers as pixel values. The model has to normalize these values such
+as they fit the [0, 1] range before applying the convolutions. This is called
+**normalization**.
+
+![modelbase1](images/modelbase_1.png)
+
+This is the purpose of `normalize_inputs()`, which has to be implemented as
+model method. The method inputs a dictionary of tensors, and returns a
+dictionary of normalized tensors. The transformation is done multiplying the
+input by 0.0001, which guarantee that the 12-bits encoded Spot-7 image pixels
+is in the [0, 1] range. Also, we cast the input tensor, which is originally of
+type integer, to floating point.
+
+```python
+class FCNNModel(ModelBase):
+    def normalize_inputs(self, inputs: dict):
+        return {INPUT_NAME: tf.cast(inputs[INPUT_NAME], tf.float32) * 0.0001}
+```
+
+Then we implement the model itself in `FCNNModel.get_outputs()`. The model
+must return a dictionary of tensors. All keys of the target tensors must be in 
+the returned dictionary (in our case: the *predictions* tensor). These target 
+keys will be used later by the optimizer to perform the optimization of the 
+loss.
+
+![modelbase3](images/modelbase_3.png)
+
+Our model is built with an encoder composed of 4 downscaling convolutional
+blocks, and its mirrored reversed decoder with skip connections between the
+layers of same scale. The last layer is a softmax layer that estimates the
+probability distribution for each class, and its output is used to perform the
+computation of the cross entropy loss with the terrain truth one hot encoded
+labels. Its name is *predictions* so that the loss crosses the terrain truth
+and the estimated values.
+
+```python
+...
+    def get_outputs(self, normalized_inputs: dict) -> dict:
+
+        def _conv(inp, depth, name):
+            conv_op = tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(

+                strides=2,
+                activation=activation,
+                padding="same",
+                name=name
+            )
+            return tconv_op(inp)
+
+        out_conv1 = _conv(normalized_inputs[INPUT_NAME], 16, "conv1")

+        out_tconv2 = _tconv(out_tconv1, 32, "tconv2") + out_conv2
+        out_tconv3 = _tconv(out_tconv2, 16, "tconv3") + out_conv1
+        out_tconv4 = _tconv(out_tconv3, N_CLASSES, "classifier", None)
+
+        softmax_op = tf.keras.layers.Softmax(name=OUTPUT_SOFTMAX_NAME)
+        predictions = softmax_op(out_tconv4)
+
+        return {TARGET_NAME: predictions}
+
+```
+
+Now our model is complete.
+
+## Training, validation, and test
+
+In the following, we will use the Keras API using the `model.compile()` then
+`model.fit()` instructions.
+
+First we declare the strategy used. Here we chose 
+`tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy` which enable to use multiple GPUs on one 
+computing resource.
+
+```python
+    strategy = tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy()  # For single or multi-GPUs
+```
+
+Then we instantiate, compile, and train the model within the `strategy` scope.
+
+First, we create an instance of our model:
+
+```python
+    with strategy.scope():
+        model = FCNNModel(dataset_element_spec=ds_train.element_spec)
+```
+
+!!! Info
+
+    As you can see, we just have provided `dataset_element_spec` to the model 
+    initialization. If you take a look to
+    [`ModelBase.__init__()`](reference/otbtf/model.html#otbtf.model.ModelBase.__init__)
+    you can notice the `inference_cropping` parameter, with the default values 
+    set to [16, 32, 64, 96, 128]. What is the use of these values? 
+    Take another look in  
+    [`ModelBase.postprocess_outputs()`](reference/otbtf/model.html#otbtf.model.ModelBase.postprocess_outputs).
+    The model will create an array of output, each one cropped to one value of
+    `inference_cropping`. These cropped output enable to avoid or lower the
+    magnitude of the blocking artifacts in convolutional models, caused by the
+    convolutions.
+
+In all the following, we are still inside the `strategy` scope.
+After the model is instantiated, we compile it using:
+
+- a `tf.keras.losses.CategoricalCrossentropy` loss, that will compute the
+categorical cross-entropy between the target labels (delivered from the 
+pre-processed dataset) and the target output returned from `get_output()` of 
+our model
+- an Adam optimizer,
+- Precision and Recall metrics (respectively `tf.keras.metrics.Precision` and
+`tf.keras.metrics.Recall`), that will be later computed over the validation
+dataset
+
+```python
+        model.compile(
+            loss=tf.keras.losses.CategoricalCrossentropy(),
+            optimizer=tf.keras.optimizers.Adam(learning_rate=1e-4),
+            metrics=[tf.keras.metrics.Precision(), tf.keras.metrics.Recall()]
+        )
+```
+
+We can then train our model using Keras:
+
+```python
+        model.fit(ds_train, epochs=100, validation_data=ds_valid)
+```
+
+At the end of the training (here we just perform 100 epochs over the training
+dataset, then stop), we could perform some evaluation over an additional test
+dataset:
+
+```python
+        model.evaluate(ds_test, batch_size=64)
+```
+
+Finally we can save our model as a SavedModel: 
+
+```python
+        model.save("/tmp/my_1st_savedmodel")
+```
+
+The whole code is available in the *otbtf/examples/tensorflow_v2x/fcnn* 
+directory.
+
+## Inference
+
+We can use the exported SavedModel, located in */tmp/my_1st_savedmodel*, using
+either:
+- The OTB command line interface,
+- The OTB Python wrapper,
+- The PyOTB Python wrapper,
+- The OTB Graphical User Interface,
+- If we have configured QGIS with the descriptors of OTBTF applications, we 
+also could have used QGIS for that.
+
+In the following, we focus only the CLI and python ways.
+

+# Inference
+
+In OTBTF, the `TensorflowModelServe` performs the inference.
+The application can run models processing any kind or number of input images,
+as soon as they have geographical information and can be read with GDAL, which 
+is the underlying library for IO in OTB.
+
+## Models information
+
+Models can be built using Tensorflow/Keras.
+They must be exported in **SavedModel** format.
+When using a model in OTBTF for inference, the following parameters must be 
+known:
+
+- For each *input* (or *placeholder* for models built with Tensorflow API v1):
+    - Name
+    - Receptive field
+- For each *output tensor*:
+    - Name
+    - Expression field
+    - Scale factor
+
+![Schema](images/schema.png)
+
+The **scale factor** describes the physical change of spacing of the outputs,
+typically introduced in the model by non unitary strides in pooling or
+convolution operators.
+For each output, it is expressed relatively to one single input of the model
+called the *reference input source*.
+Additionally, the names of the *target nodes* must be known (e.g. optimizers
+for Tensorflow API v1).
+Also, the names of *user placeholders*, typically scalars inputs that are
+used to control some parameters of the model, must be know.
+The **receptive field** corresponds to the input volume that "sees" the deep
+net.
+The **expression field** corresponds to the output volume that the deep net
+will create.
+
+
+## TensorflowModelServe
+
+The **TensorflowModelServe** application performs the inference, it can be used
+to produce an output raster with the specified tensors.
+Thanks to the streaming mechanism, very large images can be produced.
+The application uses the `TensorflowModelFilter` and a `StreamingFilter` to
+force the streaming of output.
+This last can be optionally disabled by the user, if he prefers using the
+extended filenames to deal with chunk sizes.
+However, it's still very useful when the application is used in other
+composites applications, or just without extended filename magic.
+Some models can consume a lot of memory.
+In addition, the native tiling strategy of OTB consists in strips but this
+might not always the best.
+For Convolutional Neural Networks for instance, square tiles are more
+interesting because the padding required to perform the computation of one
+single strip of pixels induces to input a lot more pixels that to process the
+computation of one single tile of pixels.
+So, this application takes in input one or multiple _input sources_ (the number
+of _input sources_ can be changed by setting the `OTB_TF_NSOURCES` to the
+desired number) and produce one output of the specified tensors.
+The user is responsible of giving the **receptive field** and **name** of
+_input placeholders_, as well as the **expression field**, **scale factor** and
+**name** of _output tensors_.
+The first _input source_ (`source1.il`) corresponds to the _reference input
+source_.
+As explained, the **scale factor** provided for the
+_output tensors_ is related to this _reference input source_.
+The user can ask for multiple _output tensors_, that will be stack along the
+channel dimension of the output raster.
+However, if the sizes of those _output tensors_ are not consistent (e.g. a
+different number of (x,y) elements), an exception will be thrown.
+
+![Schema](images/classif_map.png)
+
+The application description can be displayed using:
+
+```commandline
+otbcli_TensorflowModelServe --help
+```
+
+## Composite applications for classification
+
+To use classic classifiers performing on a deep learning model features, one 
+can use a traditional classifier generated from the 
+**TrainClassifierFromDeepFeatures** application, in the
+**ImageClassifierFromDeepFeatures** application, which implements the same 
+approach with the official OTB **ImageClassifier** application.
+
+The application description can be displayed using:
+
+```commandline
+otbcli_ImageClassifierFromDeepFeatures --help
+```
+
+Note that you can still set the `OTB_TF_NSOURCES` environment variable.
+
+# Example
+
+We assume that we have already followed the *training* section, and we start 
+from the files generated at the end of the training.
+
+After this step, we use the trained model to produce the entire map of forest
+over the whole Spot-7 image.
+For this, we use the **TensorflowModelServe** application to produce the *
+*prediction** tensor output for the entire image.
+
+```commandLine
+otbcli_TensorflowModelServe -source1.il spot7.tif -source1.placeholder x1 \
+-source1.rfieldx 16 -source1.rfieldy 16 \
+-model.dir /path/to/oursavedmodel \

+# Applications overview
+
+## Applications in OTB
+
+In OTB, applications are processes working on geospatial images, with a 
+standardized interface. This interface enables the applications to be fully 
+interoperable, and operated from various ways: C++, python, command line 
+interface. The cool thing is that most of the applications support the 
+so-called *streaming* mechanism that enable to process very large images with 
+a limited memory footprint. Thanks to the interface shared by the OTB
+applications, we can use them as functional bricks to build large pipelines, 
+that are memory and computationally efficient.
+
+!!! Info
+
+    As any OTB application, the new applications provided by OTBTF can be used 
+    in command line interface, C++, or python.
+    For the best experience in python, we recommend to use OTB applications 
+    using the excellent 
+    [PyOTB](https://pyotb.readthedocs.io/en/master/quickstart.html).
+
+## New applications
+
+Here are the new applications provided by OTBTF.
+
+- **TensorflowModelServe**: Inference on real world remote sensing products
+- **PatchesExtraction**: extract patches in images
+- **PatchesSelection**: patches selection from rasters
+- **LabelImageSampleSelection**: select patches from a label image
+- **DensePolygonClassStatistics**: fast terrain truth polygons statistics
+- **TensorflowModelTrain**: training/validation (educational purpose)
+- **TrainClassifierFromDeepFeatures**: train traditionnal classifiers that use
+  features from deep nets (educational/experimental)
+- **ImageClassifierFromDeepFeatures**: use traditionnal classifiers with
+  features from deep nets (educational/experimental)
+
+Typically, you could build a pipeline like that without coding a single 
+image process, only by using existing OTB applications, and bringing your own 
+Tensorflow model inside (with the `TensorflowModelServe` application). 
+
+![Schema](images/pipeline.png)
+
+The entire pipeline would be fully streamable, with a minimal memory footprint.
+Also, it should be noted that most OTB applications are multithreaded and 
+benefit from multiple cores. Read more about streaming in OTB 
+[here](https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/CookBook/C++/StreamingAndThreading.html).

+# Sampling applications
+
+OTBTF sampling applications are OTB applications that focus on the extraction 
+of samples in the remote sensing images.
+
+Main OTBTF applications for sampling are:
+
+- [`PatchesSelection`](#patchesselection)
+- [`PatchesExtraction`](#patchesextraction)
+ 
+Other applications were written for experimental and educational purposes, but 
+could still fill some needs sometimes:
+
+- [`DensePolygonClassStatistics`](#densepolygonclassstatistics) 
+- [`LabelImageSampleSelection`](#labelimagesampleselection)
+
+## PatchesSelection
+
+This application generate points sampled at regular interval over the input 
+image region. The selection strategy, patches grid size and step can be 
+configured. The application produces a vector data containing a set of points 
+centered on the patches after the selection process. 
+
+The following strategies are implemented:
+
+- Split: the classic training/validation/testing samples split,
+- Chessboard: training/validation over the patches grid in a chessboard 
+fashion
+- All: all patches are selected
+- Balanced: using an additional terrain truth labels map to select patches 
+a random locations that try to balance the patches population distribution, 
+based on the class value.
+
+The application description can be displayed using:
+
+```commandline
+otbcli_PatchesSelection --help
+```
+
+## PatchesExtraction.
+
+The `PatchesExtraction` application performs the extraction of patches in
+images from the following:
+
+- a vector data containing points (mandatory)
+- at least one imagery source (mandatory). To change the number of sources, 
+set the environment variable `OTB_TF_NSOURCES`
+- One exiting field name of the vector data to identify the different points.
+
+Each point of the vector data locates the **center** of the **central pixel** 
+of one patch.
+For each source, the following parameters can be set:
+
+- the patch size (x and y): for patches with even size *N*, the **central 
+pixel** corresponds to the pixel index *N/2+1* (index starting at 0).
+- a no-data value: If any pixel value inside the patch is equal to the 
+provided value, the patch is rejected.
+- an output file name for the *patches image* that the application exports at 
+the end of the sampling. Patches are stacked in rows and exported as common 
+raster files supported by GDAL, without any geographical information.
+
+### Example with 2 sources
+
+We denote one _input source_, either an input image, or a stack of input images
+that will be concatenated (they must have the same size).
+The user can set the `OTB_TF_NSOURCES` environment variable to select the
+number of _input sources_ that he wants.
+For example, for sampling a Time Series (TS) together with a single Very High
+Resolution image (VHR), two sources are required:
+
+- 1 input images list for time series,
+- 1 input image for the VHR.
+
+The sampled patches are extracted at each position designed by the input
+vector data, only if a patch lies fully in all _input sources_ extents.
+For each _input source_, patches sizes must be provided.
+For each _input source_, the application export all sampled patches as a single
+multiband raster, stacked in rows.
+For instance, for *n* samples of size *16 x 16* from a *4* channels _input
+source_, the output image will be a raster of size *16 x 16n* with *4*
+channels.
+An optional output is an image of size *1 x n* containing the value of one
+specific field of the input vector data.
+Typically, the *class* field can be used to generate a dataset suitable for a
+model that performs pixel wise classification.
+
+![Schema](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/remi.cresson/otbtf/-/raw/develop/doc/images/patches_extraction.png)
+
+The application description can be displayed using:
+
+```commandline
+otbcli_PatchesExtraction --help
+```
+
+
+## DensePolygonClassStatistics
+
+This application is a clone of the [PolygonClassStatistics](https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/CookBook/Applications/app_PolygonClassStatistics.html)
+modified to use rasterization instead of vector based approach, making it 
+faster.
+
+The application description can be displayed using:
+
+```commandline
+otbcli_DensePolygonClassStatistics --help
+```
+
+## LabelImageSampleSelection
+
+This application extracts points from an input label image. This application 
+is like "SampleSelection", but uses an input label image, rather than an input 
+vector data. It produces a vector data containing a set of points centered on 
+the pixels of the input label image. The user can control the number of 
+points. The default strategy consists in producing the same number of points 
+in each class. If one class has a smaller number of points than requested, 
+this one is adjusted.
+
+The application description can be displayed using:
+
+```commandline
+otbcli_LabelImageSampleSelection --help
+```
+
+## Example
+
+Below is a minimal example that presents some steps to sample patches from a 
+sparse annotated vector data as terrain truth.
+Let's consider that our data set consists in one Spot-7 image, *spot7.tif*, 
+and a training vector data, *terrain_truth.shp* that describes sparsely 
+forest / non-forest polygons.
+
+First, we compute statistics of the vector data : how many points can we sample
+inside objects, and how many objects in each class.
+We use the **PolygonClassStatistics** application of OTB.
+
+```commandline
+otbcli_PolygonClassStatistics -vec terrain_truth.shp -field class \
+-in spot7.tif -out vec_stats.xml
+```
+
+Then, we will select some samples with the **SampleSelection** application of
+the existing machine learning framework of OTB.
+Since the terrain truth is sparse, we want to sample randomly points in
+polygons with the default strategy of the **SampleSelection** OTB application.
+
+```
+otbcli_SampleSelection -in spot7.tif -vec terrain_truth.shp \
+-instats vec_stats.xml -field class -out points.shp
+```
+
+Now we extract the patches with the **PatchesExtraction** application.
+We want to produce one image of 16x16 patches, and one image for the
+corresponding labels.
+
+```
+otbcli_PatchesExtraction -source1.il spot7.tif \
+-source1.patchsizex 16 -source1.patchsizey 16 \
+-vec points.shp -field class -source1.out samp_labels.tif \
+-outpatches samp_patches.tif
+```
+
+Now we can use the generated *samp_patches.tif* and *samp_labels.tif* in the 
+`TensorflowModelTrain` application, or using the python API to build and train 
+models with Keras.

+!!! Warning
+
+	This section is for educational purposes. No coding skills are required,
+	and it's easy to train an existing model built with the Tensorflow API
+	v1. To have a full control over the model implementation and training 
+	process, the Tensorflow API v2 with Keras is the way to go. 
+	
+# TensorflowModelTrain
+
+Here we assume that you have produced patches using the **PatchesExtraction**
+application, and that you have a **SavedModel** stored in a directory somewhere
+on your filesystem.
+The **TensorflowModelTrain** application performs the training, validation (
+against test dataset, and against validation dataset) providing the usual
+metrics that machine learning frameworks provide (confusion matrix, recall,
+precision, f-score, ...).
+You must provide the path of the **SavedModel** to the `model.dir` parameter.
+The `model.restorefrom` and `model.saveto` corresponds to the variables of the
+**SavedModel** used respectively for restoring and saving them.
+Set you _input sources_ for training (`training` parameter group) and for
+validation (`validation` parameter group): the evaluation is performed against
+training data, and optionally also against the validation data (only if you
+set `validation.mode` to "class").
+For each _input sources_, the patch size and the placeholder name must be
+provided.
+Regarding validation, if a different name is found in a particular _input
+source_ of the `validation` parameter group, the application knows that the
+_input source_ is not fed to the model at inference, but is used as reference
+to compute evaluation metrics of the validation dataset.
+Batch size (`training.batchsize`) and number of epochs (`training.epochs`) can
+be set.
+_User placeholders_ can be set separately for
+training (`training.userplaceholders`) and
+validation (`validation.userplaceholders`).
+The `validation.userplaceholders` can be useful if you have a model that
+behaves differently depending the given placeholder.
+Let's take the example of dropout: it's nice for training, but you have to
+disable it to use the model at inference time.
+Hence you will pass a placeholder with "dropout\_rate=0.3" for training and "
+dropout\_rate=0.0" for validation.
+Of course, one can train models from handmade python code: to import the
+patches images, a convenient method consist in reading patches images as numpy
+arrays using OTB applications (e.g. **ExtractROI**) or GDAL, then do a
+np.reshape to the dimensions wanted.

+
+## Composite applications for classification
+
+Who has never dreamed to use classic classifiers performing on deep learning
+features?
+This is possible thank to two new applications that uses the existing
+training/classification applications of OTB:
+
+**TrainClassifierFromDeepFeatures**: is a composite application that wire the *
+*TensorflowModelServe** application output into the existing official *
+*TrainImagesClassifier** application.
+
+The application description can be displayed using:
+
+```commandLine
+otbcli_TrainClassifierFromDeepFeatures --help
+```
+
+# Example
+
+We assume that we have already followed the *sampling* section, and we start 
+from the files generated at the end of the patches extraction.
+
+Now we have two images for patches and labels.
+We can split them to distinguish test/validation groups (with the **ExtractROI**
+ application for instance).
+But here, we will just perform some fine tuning of our model.
+The **SavedModel** is located in the `outmodel` directory.
+Our model is quite basic: it has two input placeholders, **x1** and **y1**
+respectively for input patches (with size 16x16) and input reference labels (
+with size 1x1).
+We named **prediction** the tensor that predict the labels and the optimizer
+that perform the stochastic gradient descent is an operator named **optimizer
+**.
+We perform the fine tuning and we export the new model variables directly in
+the _outmodel/variables_ folder, overwriting the existing variables of the
+model.
+We use the **TensorflowModelTrain** application to perform the training of this
+existing model.
+
+```
+otbcli_TensorflowModelTrain -model.dir /path/to/oursavedmodel \
+-training.targetnodesnames optimizer -training.source1.il samp_patches.tif \
+-training.source1.patchsizex 16 -training.source1.patchsizey 16 \
+-training.source1.placeholder x1 -training.source2.il samp_labels.tif \
+-training.source2.patchsizex 1 -training.source2.patchsizey 1 \
+-training.source2.placeholder y1 \
+-model.saveto /path/to/oursavedmodel/variables/variables
+```
+
+Note that we could also have performed validation in this step. In this case,
+the `validation.source2.placeholder` would be different than
+the `training.source2.placeholder`, and would be **prediction**. This way, the
+program know what is the target tensor to evaluate.

+# Build your own docker images
+
+Docker build has to be called from the root of the repository (i.e. `docker 
+build .` or `bash tools/docker/multibuild.sh`).
+You can build a custom image using `--build-arg` and several config files :
+
+- **Ubuntu** : `BASE_IMG` should accept any version, for additional packages 
+see *tools/docker/build-deps-cli.txt* and *tools/docker/build-deps-gui.txt*.
+- **TensorFlow** : `TF` arg for the git branch or tag + *build-env-tf.sh* and 
+BZL_* arguments for the build configuration. `ZIP_TF_BIN` allows you to save 
+compiled binaries if you want to install it elsewhere.
+- **OrfeoToolBox** : `OTB` arg for the git branch or tag + 
+*tools/docker/build-flags-otb.txt* to edit cmake flags. Set `KEEP_SRC_OTB` in 
+order to preserve OTB git directory.
+
+### Base images
+
+```bash
+UBUNTU=20.04            # or 16.04, 18.04
+CUDA=11.2.2             # or 10.1, 10.2, 11.0.3
+CUDNN=8                 # or 7
+IMG=ubuntu:$UBUNTU
+GPU_IMG=nvidia/cuda:$CUDA-cudnn$CUDNN-devel-ubuntu$UBUNTU
+```
+
+### Default arguments
+
+```bash
+BASE_IMG                # mandatory
+CPU_RATIO=1
+GUI=false
+NUMPY_SPEC="==1.19.*"
+TF=v2.8.0
+OTB=8.1.0
+BZL_TARGETS="//tensorflow:libtensorflow_cc.so //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package"
+BZL_CONFIGS="--config=nogcp --config=noaws --config=nohdfs --config=opt"
+BZL_OPTIONS="--verbose_failures --remote_cache=http://localhost:9090"
+ZIP_TF_BIN=false
+KEEP_SRC_OTB=false
+SUDO=true
+
+# NumPy version requirement :
+# TF <  2.4 : "numpy<1.19.0,>=1.16.0"
+# TF >= 2.4 : "numpy==1.19.*"
+# TF >= 2.8 : "numpy==1.22.*"
+```
+
+### Bazel remote cache daemon
+
+If you just need to rebuild with different GUI or KEEP_SRC arguments, or may 
+be a different branch of OTB, bazel cache will help you to rebuild everything 
+except TF, even if the docker cache was purged (after `docker 
+[system|builder] prune`).
+In order to recycle the cache, bazel config and TF git tag should be exactly 
+the same, any change in [build-env-tf.sh](build-env-tf.sh) and `--build-arg` 
+(if related to bazel env, cuda, mkl, xla...) may result in a fresh new build.
+
+Start a cache daemon - here with max 20GB but 10GB should be enough to save 2 
+TF builds (GPU and CPU):
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p $HOME/.cache/bazel-remote
+docker run --detach -u 1000:1000 -v $HOME/.cache/bazel-remote:/data \
+  -p 9090:8080 buchgr/bazel-remote-cache --max_size=20
+```
+
+Then just add ` --network='host'` to the docker build command, or connect 
+bazel to a remote server - see 'BZL_OPTIONS'.  
+The other way of docker is a virtual bridge, but you'll need to edit the IP 
+address.  
+
+## Images build examples
+
+```bash
+# Build for CPU using default Dockerfiles args (without AWS, HDFS or GCP 
+# support)
+docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:cpu --build-arg BASE_IMG=ubuntu:20.04 .
+
+# Clear bazel config var (deactivate default optimizations and unset 
+# noaws/nogcp/nohdfs)
+docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:cpu \
+  --build-arg BASE_IMG=ubuntu:20.04 \
+  --build-arg BZL_CONFIGS= .
+
+# Enable MKL
+MKL_CONFIG="--config=nogcp --config=noaws --config=nohdfs --config=opt --config=mkl"
+docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:cpu-mkl \
+  --build-arg BZL_CONFIGS="$MKL_CONFIG" \
+  --build-arg BASE_IMG=ubuntu:20.04 .
+
+# Build for GPU (if you're building for your system only you should edit 
+# CUDA_COMPUTE_CAPABILITIES in build-env-tf.sh)
+docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:gpu \
+  --build-arg BASE_IMG=nvidia/cuda:11.0.3-cudnn8-devel-ubuntu20.04 .
+
+# Build latest TF and OTB, set git branches/tags to clone
+docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:gpu-dev \
+  --build-arg BASE_IMG=nvidia/cuda:11.2.2-cudnn8-devel-ubuntu20.04 \
+  --build-arg KEEP_SRC_OTB=true \
+  --build-arg TF=nightly \
+  --build-arg OTB=develop .
+
+# Build old release (TF-2.1)
+docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:oldstable-gpu \
+  --build-arg BASE_IMG=nvidia/cuda:10.1-cudnn7-devel-ubuntu18.04 \
+  --build-arg TF=r2.1 \
+  --build-arg NUMPY_SPEC="<1.19" \
+  --build-arg BAZEL_OPTIONS="--noincompatible_do_not_split_linking_cmdline --verbose_failures --remote_cache=http://localhost:9090" .
+# You could edit the Dockerfile in order to clone an old branch of the repo
+# instead of copying files from the build context
+```
+
+### Build for another machine and save TF compiled files 
+
+Example with TF 2.5
+
+```bash
+# Use same ubuntu and CUDA version than your target machine, beware of CC 
+# optimization and CPU compatibility (set env variable CC_OPT_FLAGS and avoid 
+# "-march=native" if your Docker's CPU is optimized with AVX2/AVX512 but your 
+# target CPU isn't)
+docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:custom \
+  --build-arg BASE_IMG=nvidia/cuda:11.2.2-cudnn8-devel-ubuntu20.04 \
+  --build-arg TF=v2.5.0 \
+  --build-arg ZIP_TF_BIN=true .
+# Retrieve zip file

+    -DTENSORFLOW_FRAMEWORK_LIB=$TF_WHEEL_DIR/libtensorflow_framework.so.2 \
+&& make install -j 
+```
+
+### Debug build
+
+If you fail to build, you can log into the last layer and check CMake logs. 
+Run `docker images`, find the latest layer ID and run a tmp container 
+(`docker run -it d60496d9612e bash`).
+You may also need to split some multi-command layers in the Dockerfile.
+If you see OOM errors during SuperBuild you should decrease CPU_RATIO (e.g. 
+0.75).
+
+## Container examples
+
+```bash
+# Pull GPU image and create a new container with your home directory as volume 
+# (requires apt package nvidia-docker2 and CUDA>=11.0)
+docker create --gpus=all --volume $HOME:/home/otbuser/volume -it \
+  --name otbtf-gpu mdl4eo/otbtf:3.3.2-gpu
+
+# Run interactive
+docker start -i otbtf-gpu
+
+# Run in background
+docker start otbtf-gpu
+docker exec otbtf-gpu \
+  python -c 'import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.test.is_gpu_available())'
+```
+
+### Rebuild OTB with more modules
+
+Enter a development ready docker image:
+
+```bash
+docker create --gpus=all -it --name otbtf-gpu-dev mdl4eo/otbtf:3.3.2-gpu-dev
+docker start -i otbtf-gpu-dev
+```
+
+Then, from the container shell:
+
+```bash
+sudo -i
+cd /src/otb/otb/Modules/Remote
+git clone https://gitlab.irstea.fr/raffaele.gaetano/otbSelectiveHaralickTextures.git
+cd /src/otb/build/OTB/build
+cmake -DModule_OTBAppSelectiveHaralickTextures=ON /src/otb/otb && make install -j
+```
+
+### Container with GUI
+
+GUI is disabled by default in order to save space, and because docker xvfb 
+isn't working properly with OpenGL.
+OTB GUI seems OK but monteverdi isn't working
+
+```bash
+docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:cpu-gui \
+  --build-arg BASE_IMG=ubuntu:20.04 \
+  --build-arg GUI=true .
+docker create -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -it \
+  --name otbtf-gui otbtf:cpu-gui
+docker start -i otbtf-gui
+$ mapla

+# Docker troubleshooting
+
+You can find plenty of help on the web about docker. 
+This section only provides the basics for newcomers that are eager to use 
+OTBTF!
+This section is largely inspired from the 
+[moringa docker help](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/raffaele.gaetano/moringa/blob/develop/docker/README.md). Big thanks to them.
+
+## Useful diagnostic commands
+
+Here are some useful commands.
+
+```bash
+docker info         # System info
+docker images       # List local images
+docker container ls # List containers
+docker ps           # Show running containers
+```
+
+On Linux, control state with `service`:
+
+```bash
+sudo service docker {status,enable,disable,start,stop,restart}
+```
+
+### Run some commands
+
+Run a simple command in a one-shot container:
+
+```bash
+docker run mdl4eo/otbtf:3.4.0-cpu otbcli_PatchesExtraction
+```
+
+You can also use the image in interactive mode with bash:
+
+```bash
+docker run -ti mdl4eo/otbtf:3.4.0-cpu bash
+```
+
+### Mounting file systems
+
+You can mount filesystem in the docker image.
+For instance, suppose you have some data in `/mnt/disk1/` that you want 
+to use inside the container:
+
+The following command shows you how to access the folder from the docker image.
+
+```bash
+docker run -v /mnt/disk1/:/data/ -ti mdl4eo/otbtf:3.4.0-cpu bash -c "ls /data"
+```
+Beware of ownership issues! see the last section of this doc.
+
+### Persistent container
+
+Persistent (named) container with volume, here with home dir, but it can be 
+any directory.
+
+```bash
+docker create --interactive --tty --volume /home/$USER:/home/otbuser/ \
+    --name otbtf mdl4eo/otbtf:3.4.0-cpu /bin/bash
+```
+
+!!! warning
+
+    Beware of ownership issues, see 
+    [this section](#fix-volume-ownership-sissues).
+
+### Interactive session
+
+```bash
+docker start -i otbtf
+```
+
+### Background container
+
+```bash
+docker start otbtf
+docker exec otbtf ls -alh
+docker stop otbtf
+```
+
+### Running commands with root user
+
+Background container is one easy way:
+
+```bash
+docker start otbtf
+# Example with apt update 
+# (you can't use &&, one docker exec is
+# required for each command)
+docker exec --user root otbtf apt-get update
+docker exec --user root otbtf apt-get upgrade -y
+```
+
+### Container-specific commands, especially for background containers:
+
+```bash
+docker inspect otbtf         # See full container info dump
+docker logs otbtf            # See command logs and outputs
+docker stats otbtf           # Real time container statistics
+docker {pause,unpause} otbtf # Freeze container
+```
+
+### Stop a background container
+
+Don't forget to stop the container after you have done.
+
+```bash
+docker stop otbtf
+```
+
+### Remove a persistent container
+
+```bash
+docker rm otbtf
+```
+
+## Fix volume ownership issues
+
+Generally, this is required if host's UID > 1000.
+
+When mounting a volume, you may experience errors while trying to write files 
+from within the container.
+Since the default user (**otbuser**) is UID 1000, you won't be able to write 
+files into your volume 
+which is mounted with the same UID than your linux host user (may be UID 1001
+or more). 
+In order to address this, you need to edit the container's user UID and GID to 
+match the right numerical value.
+This will only persist in a named container, it is required every time you're 
+creating a new one.
+
+
+Create a named container (here with your HOME as volume), Docker will 
+automatically pull image
+
+```bash
+docker create --interactive --tty --volume /home/$USER:/home/otbuser \
+    --name otbtf mdl4eo/otbtf:3.4.0-cpu /bin/bash
+```
+
+Start a background container process:
+
+```bash
+docker start otbtf
+```
+
+Exec required commands with user root (here with host's ID, replace $UID and 
+$GID with desired values):
+

-
-This section is largely inspired from the [moringa docker help](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/raffaele.gaetano/moringa/blob/develop/docker/README.md). Big thanks to them.
-
-## Useful diagnostic commands
-
-Here are some useful commands.
-
-```bash
-docker info         # System info
-docker images       # List local images
-docker container ls # List containers
-docker ps           # Show running containers
-```
-
-On Linux, control state with systemd:
-```bash
-sudo systemctl {status,enable,disable,start,stop} docker
-```
-
-### Run some commands
-
-Run a simple command in a one-shot container:
-
-```bash
-docker run mdl4eo/otbtf:3.4.0-cpu otbcli_PatchesExtraction
-```
-
-You can also use the image in interactive mode with bash:
-```bash
-docker run -ti mdl4eo/otbtf:3.4.0-cpu bash
-```
-
-### Persistent container
-
-Persistent (named) container with volume, here with home dir, but it can be any directory.
-Beware of ownership issues, see the last section of this doc.
-
-```bash
-docker create --interactive --tty --volume /home/$USER:/home/otbuser/ \
-    --name otbtf mdl4eo/otbtf:3.4.0-cpu /bin/bash
-```
-
-### Interactive session
-
-```bash
-docker start -i otbtf
-```
-
-### Background container
+!!! Info
 
-```bash
-docker start otbtf
-docker exec otbtf ls -alh
-docker stop otbtf
-```
-
-### Running commands with root user
-
-Background container is the easiest way:
-
-```bash
-docker start otbtf
-# Example with apt update (you can't use &&, one docker exec is required for each command)
-docker exec --user root otbtf apt-get update
-docker exec --user root otbtf apt-get upgrade -y
-```
-
-### Container-specific commands, especially for background containers:
-
-```bash
-docker inspect otbtf         # See full container info dump
-docker logs otbtf            # See command logs and outputs
-docker stats otbtf           # Real time container statistics
-docker {pause,unpause} otbtf # Freeze container
-```
-
-### Stop a background container
-
-Don't forget to stop the container after you have done.
-
-```bash
-docker stop otbtf
-```
-
-### Remove a persistent container
-
-```bash
-docker rm otbtf
-```
-
-# Fix volume ownership issue (required if host's UID > 1000)
-
-When mounting a volume, you may experience errors while trying to write files from within the container.
-Since the default user (**otbuser**) is UID 1000, you won't be able to write files into your volume 
-which is mounted with the same UID than your linux host user (may be UID 1001 or more). 
-In order to address this, you need to edit the container's user UID and GID to match the right numerical value.
-This will only persist in a named container, it is required every time you're creating a new one.
-
-
-Create a named container (here with your HOME as volume), Docker will automatically pull image
-
-```bash
-docker create --interactive --tty --volume /home/$USER:/home/otbuser \
-    --name otbtf mdl4eo/otbtf:3.4.0-cpu /bin/bash
-```
-
-Start a background container process:
-
-```bash
-docker start otbtf
-```
-
-Exec required commands with user root (here with host's ID, replace $UID and $GID with desired values):
-
-```bash
-docker exec --user root otbtf usermod otbuser -u $UID
-docker exec --user root otbtf groupmod otbuser -g $GID
-```
-
-Force reset ownership with updated UID and GID. 
-Make sure to double check that `docker exec otbtf id` because recursive chown will apply to your volume in `/home/otbuser`
-
-```bash
-docker exec --user root otbtf chown -R otbuser:otbuser /home/otbuser
-```
-
-Stop the background container and start a new interactive shell:
-
-```bash
-docker stop otbtf
-docker start -i otbtf
-```
-
-Check if ownership is right
-
-```bash
-id
-ls -Alh /home/otbuser
-touch /home/otbuser/test.txt
-```

+
+
+This remote module of the [Orfeo ToolBox](https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org) 
+provides a generic, multi purpose deep learning framework, targeting remote 
+sensing images processing. It contains a set of new process objects for OTB 
+that internally invoke [Tensorflow](https://www.tensorflow.org/), and new [OTB 
+applications](#otb-applications) to perform deep learning with real-world 
+remote sensing images. Applications can be used to build OTB pipelines from 
+Python or C++ APIs. OTBTF also includes a [python API](#python-api) to build 
+Keras compliant models, easy to train in distributed environments. 
+
+
+## Features
+
+### OTB Applications
+
+- Sample patches in remote sensing images with `PatchesExtraction`,
+- Inference with support of OTB streaming mechanism with 
+`TensorflowModelServe`: this means that inference is not limited by images 
+number, size, of channels depths, and can be used as a "lego" in any pipeline 
+composed of OTB applications and preserving streaming.
+- Model training, supporting save/restore/import operations (a model can be 
+trained from scratch or fine-tuned) with `TensorflowModelTrain`. This 
+application targets mostly newcomers and is nice for educational purpose, but 
+deep learning practitioners will for sure prefer the Python API of OTBTF.  
+
+### Python API
+
+The `otbtf` module targets python developers that want to train their own 
+model from python with TensorFlow or Keras.
+It provides various classes for datasets and iterators to handle the 
+_patches images_ generated from the `PatchesExtraction` OTB application.
+For instance, the `otbtf.DatasetFromPatchesImages` can be instantiated from a 
+set of _patches images_ and delivering samples as `tf.dataset` that can be 
+used in your favorite TensorFlow pipelines, or convert your patches into 
+TFRecords. The `otbtf.TFRecords` enables you train networks from TFRecords 
+files, which is quite suited for distributed training. Read more in the 
+[tutorial for keras](otbtf/examples/tensorflow_v2x/fcnn/README.md).
+
+## Examples
+
+Below are some screen captures of deep learning applications performed at 
+large scale with OTBTF.
+ - Landcover mapping (Spot-7 images --> Building map using semantic 
+segmentation)
+
+![Landcover mapping](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/remi.cresson/otbtf/-/raw/develop/doc/images/landcover.png)
+
+ - Super resolution (Sentinel-2 images upsampled with the 
+[SR4RS software](https://github.com/remicres/sr4rs), which is based on OTBTF)
+ 
+![Super resolution](https://gitlab.irstea.fr/remi.cresson/otbtf/-/raw/develop/doc/images/supresol.png)

+ - Sentinel-2 reconstruction with Sentinel-1 VV/VH with the 
+[Decloud software](https://github.com/CNES/decloud), which is based on OTBTF
+
+![Decloud](https://github.com/CNES/decloud/raw/master/doc/images/cap2.jpg)
+ 
+ - Image to image translation (Spot-7 image --> Wikimedia Map using CGAN. 
+So unnecessary but fun!)

-Some examples of ready-to-use deep learning architectures built with the TensorFlow API from python.
-All models used are provided in this directory.
+This section provides some examples of ready-to-use deep learning
+architectures built with the TensorFlow API from python. All models used are
+provided in the `otbtf/examples/tensorflow_v1x/` directory.
+
+!!! note
+
+    While we recommend to use the Tensorflow API v2, the following examples are
+    still great to understand how the models work, particulary in inference
+    mode. Models based on the TF API v1 can be trained easily with the
+    `TensorflowModelTrain` application, which allows beginners to focus more
+    on the overall process rather than the code.
+
+!!! warning
+
+    `tricks.py` is here for backward compatibility with codes based on OTBTF 1.x
+    and 2.x.

+"""
+This section contains two examples of very simple models that are not
+trainable, called **deterministic models**.
+Sometimes it can be useful to consider deterministic approaches (e.g. modeling)
+and tensorflow is a powerful numerical library that can run smoothly on many
+kind of devices such as GPUs.
+
+In this section, we will consider two deterministic models:
+
+- [L2 norm](#l2-norm): a model that computes the l2 norm of the input image
+channels, for each pixel,
+- [Scalar product](#scalar-product): a model computing the scalar product
+between two images with the same number of channels, for each pixel
+
+# L2 norm
+
+We consider a very simple model that implements the computation of the l2 norm.
+The model inputs one multispectral image (*x*), and computes the l2 norm of
+each pixel (*y*). The model is exported as a SavedModel named
+*l2_norm_savedmodel*
+
+```python
+import tensorflow as tf
+
+# Input
+x = tf.keras.Input(shape=[None, None, None], name="x")  # [1, h, w, N]
+
+# Compute norm on the last axis
+y = tf.norm(x, axis=-1)
+
+# Create model
+model = tf.keras.Model(inputs={"x": x}, outputs={"y": y})
+model.save("l2_norm_savedmodel")
+```
+
+Run the code. The *l2_norm_savedmodel* file is created.
+Now run the SavedModel with `TensorflowModelServe`:
+
+```commandline
+otbcli_TensorflowModelServe \\
+-source1.il image1.tif \\
+-model.dir l2_norm_savedmodel \\
+-model.fullyconv on \\
+-out output.tif \\
+-optim.disabletiling on
+```
+
+!!! Note
+
+    As you can notice, we have set the `optim.disabletiling` to `on` which
+    disables the tiling for the processing. This means that OTB will drive the
+    regions size based on the ram value defined in OTB. We can do that safely
+    since our process has a small memory footprint, and it is not optimized
+    with tiling because it does not use any neighborhood based approach.
+    Tiling is enabled by default in `TensorflowModelServe` since it is mostly
+    intended to perform inference using 2D convolutions.
+
+# Scalar product
+
+Let's consider a simple model that inputs two multispectral image (*x1* and
+*x2*), and computes the scalar product between each pixels of the two images.
+The model is exported as a SavedModel named *scalar_product_savedmodel*
+
+```python
+import tensorflow as tf
+
+# Input
+x1 = tf.keras.Input(shape=[None, None, None], name="x1")  # [1, h, w, N]
+x2 = tf.keras.Input(shape=[None, None, None], name="x2")  # [1, h, w, N]
+
+# Compute scalar product
+y = tf.reduce_sum(tf.multiply(x1, x2), axis=-1)
+
+# Create model
+model = tf.keras.Model(inputs={"x1": x1, "x2": x2}, outputs={"y": y})
+model.save("scalar_product_savedmodel")
+```
+
+Run the code. The *scalar_product_savedmodel* file is created.
+Now run the SavedModel with `TensorflowModelServe`:
+
+```commandline
+OTB_TF_NSOURCES=2 otbcli_TensorflowModelServe \\
+-source1.il image1.tif \\
+-source2.il image2.tif \\
+-model.dir scalar_product_savedmodel \\
+-model.fullyconv on \\
+-out output.tif \\
+-optim.disabletiling on  # Small memory footprint, we can remove tiling
+```

-# Patches-images vs TFRecords based datasets
-
-TensorFlow datasets are the most practical way to feed a network data during 
-training steps.
-In particular, they are very useful to train models with data parallelism using
-multiple workers (i.e. multiple GPU devices).
-Since OTBTF 3, two kind of approaches are available to deliver the patches:
-- Create TF datasets from **patches-images**: the first approach implemented in 
-OTBTF, relying on geospatial raster formats supported by GDAL. Patches are simply 
-stacked in rows. patches-images are friendly because they can be visualized 
-like any other image. However this approach is **not very optimized**, since it
-generates a lot of I/O and stresses the filesystem when iterating randomly over
-patches.
-- Create TF datasets from **TFRecords** files. The principle is that a number of
-patches are stored in TFRecords files (google protubuf serialized data). This
-approach provides the best performances, since it generates less I/Os since 
-multiple patches are read simultaneously together. It is the recommended approach
-to work on high end gear. It requires an additional step of converting the 
-patches-images into TFRecords files.
-
-## Patches-images based datasets
-
-**Patches-images** are generated from the `PatchesExtraction` application of OTBTF.
-They consist in extracted patches stacked in rows into geospatial rasters. 
-The `otbtf.DatasetFromPatchesImages` provides access to **patches-images** as a
-TF dataset. It inherits from the `otbtf.Dataset` class, which can be a base class 
-to develop other raster based datasets. 
-The `use_streaming` option can be used to read the patches on-the-fly 
-on the filesystem. However, this can cause I/O bottleneck when one training step 
-is shorter that fetching one batch of data. Typically, this is very common with 
-small networks trained over large amount of data using multiple GPUs, causing the 
-filesystem read operation being the weak point (and the GPUs wait for the batches 
-to be ready). The class offers other functionalities, for instance changing the 
-iterator class with a custom one (can inherit from `otbtf.dataset.IteratorBase`) 
-which is, by default, an `otbtf.dataset.RandomIterator`. This could enable to 
-control how the patches are walked, from the multiple patches-images of the 
-dataset.
-
-## TFRecords batches datasets
-
-**TFRecord** based datasets are implemented in the `otbtf.tfrecords` module.
-They basically deliver patches from the TFRecords files, which can be created 
-with the `to_tfrecords()` method of the `otbtf.Dataset` based classes.
-Depending on the filesystem characteristics and the computational cost of one
-training step, it can be good to select the number of samples per TFRecords file.
-Another tweak is the shuffling: since one TFRecord file contains multiple patches, 
-the way TFRecords files are accessed (sometimes, we need them to be randomly 
-accessed), and the way patches are accessed (within a buffer, of size set with the 
-`shuffle_buffer_size`), is crucial.

 ## Inference
 
+This section show how to apply the fully convolutional model over an entire 
+image. 
+
+### Postprocessing to avoid blocking artifacts
+
+The class `otbtf.ModelBase` provides the necessary to enable fully
+convolutional models to be applied over large images, avoiding blocking 
+artifacts caused by convolutions at the borders of tensors.
+`ModelBase` comes with a `postprocess_outputs()`, that process the outputs 
+tensors returned by `get_outputs()`. This creates new outputs, aiming to be 
+used at inference time. The default implementation of 
+`ModelBase.postprocess_outputs()` avoids blocking artifacts, by keeping 
+only the values of the central part of the tensors in spatial dimensions (you
+can read more on the subject in this 
+[book](https://doi.org/10.1201/9781003020851)).
+
+If you take a look to 
+[`ModelBase.__init__()`](reference/otbtf/model.html#otbtf.model.ModelBase.__init__)
+you can notice the `inference_cropping` parameter, with the default values 
+set to [16, 32, 64, 96, 128]. Now if you take another look in  
+[`ModelBase.postprocess_outputs()`](reference/otbtf/model.html#otbtf.model.ModelBase.postprocess_outputs),
+you can see how these values are used: the model will create an array of 
+outputs, each one cropped to one value of `inference_cropping`. These cropped 
+outputs enable to avoid or lower the magnitude of the blocking artifacts 
+in convolutional models.
+The new outputs tensors are named by the
+[`cropped_tensor_name()`](reference/otbtf/model.html#otbtf.model.cropped_tensor_name)
+function, that returns a new name corresponding to:
+```python
+f"{tensor_name}_crop{crop}"
+```
+For instance, for the new output tensor created for *predictions*, that 
+removes 32 pixels from the borders in the spatial dimensions, would be named
+***predictions_crop32***.
+
+### How to choose the right cropping value?
+
+Theoretically, we can determine the part of the output image that is not 
+polluted by the convolutional padding. 
+For a 2D convolution of stride \(s\) and kernel size \(k\), we can deduce the 
+valid output size \(y\) from input size \(x\) using this expression:
+$$
+y = \left[\frac{x - k + 1}{s}\right]
+$$
+For a 2D transposed convolution of stride \(s\) and kernel size \(k\), we can 
+deduce the valid output size \(y\) from input size \(x\) using this expression:
+$$
+y = (x * s) - k + 1
+$$
+
+Let's consider a chunk of input image of size 128, and check the valid output 
+size of our model:
+
+| Conv. name | Conv. type        | Kernel | Stride | Out. size | Valid out. size |
+|------------|-------------------|--------|--------|-----------|-----------------|
+| *conv1*    | Conv2D            | 3      | 2      | 64        | 63              |
+| *conv2*    | Conv2D            | 3      | 2      | 32        | 30              |
+| *conv3*    | Conv2D            | 3      | 2      | 16        | 14              |
+| *conv4*    | Conv2D            | 3      | 2      | 8         | 6               |
+| *tconv1*   | Transposed Conv2D | 3      | 2      | 16        | 10              |
+| *tconv2*   | Transposed Conv2D | 3      | 2      | 32        | 18              |
+| *tconv3*   | Transposed Conv2D | 3      | 2      | 64        | 34              |
+
+This shows that our model can be applied in a fully convolutional fashion 
+without generating blocking artifacts, using the central part of the output of 
+size 34. This is equivalent to remove \((128 - 24)/2 = 47\) pixels from 
+the borders of the output. We can hence use the output cropped with **64** 
+pixels, named ***predictions_crop64***.
+
+!!! Info
+
+    Very deep networks will lead to very large cropping values.
+    In these cases, there is a tradeoff between numerical 
+    exactness VS computational cost. In practice, expression field can be 
+    ridiculously enlarged since most of the networks learn to disminish the
+    convolutional distortion at the border of the training patches.
+
+### TensorflowModelServe parameters
+
 We can use the exported SavedModel, located in */tmp/my_1st_savedmodel*, using
 either:
+
 - The OTB command line interface,
 - The OTB Python wrapper,
 - The PyOTB Python wrapper,
 - The OTB Graphical User Interface,

-also could have used QGIS for that.
+- QGIS (you have to copy the descriptors of OTBTF applications in QGIS 
+configuration folder).
+In the following, we focus only the CLI and python.
+
+In the following subsections, we run `TensorflowModelServe` over the input 
+image, with the following parameters:
+
+- the input name is ***input_xs***
+- the output name is ***predictions_crop64*** (cropping margin of 64 pixels)
+- we choose a receptive field of ***256*** and an expression field of 
+***128*** so that they match the cropping margin of 64 pixels. 
 
-In the following, we focus only the CLI and python ways.
 
 ### Command Line Interface
 
+Open a terminal and run the following command:
+
 ```commandline

+
+### OTB Python wrapper
+
+The previous command translates in the following in python, using the OTB 
+python wrapper:
+
+```python
+import otbApplication
+app = otbApplication.Registry.CreateApplication("TensorflowModelServe")
+app.SetParameterStringList("source1.il", ["fake_spot6.jp2"])
+app.SetParameterInt("source1.rfieldx", 256)
+app.SetParameterInt("source1.rfieldy", 256)
+app.SetParameterString("source1.placeholder", "input_xs")
+app.SetParameterString("model.dir", "/tmp/my_1st_savedmodel")
+app.EnableParameter("fullyconv")
+app.SetParameterStringList("output.names", ["predictions_crop64"])
+app.SetParameterInt("output.efieldx", 128)
+app.SetParameterInt("output.efieldy", 128)
+app.SetParameterString("out", "softmax.tif")
+app.ExecuteAndWriteOutput()
+```
+
+### PyOTB
+
+Using PyOTB is nicer:
+
+```python
+import pyotb
+pyotb.TensorflowModelServe({
+    "source1.il": "fake_spot6.jp2",
+    "source1.rfieldx": 256,
+    "source1.rfieldy": 256,
+    "source1.placeholder": "input_xs",
+    "model.dir": "/tmp/my_1st_savedmodel",
+    "fullyconv": True,
+    "output.names": ["predictions_crop64"],
+    "output.efieldx": 128,
+    "output.efieldy": 128,
+    "out": "softmax.tif",
+})
+```
+
+!!! Note
+
+    The processing can be optimized using the `optim` parameters group.
+    In a terminal, type `otbcli_TensorflowModelServe --help optim` for more
+    information. Also, the extended filenames of the orfeo toolbox enables to 
+    control the output image chunk size and tiling/stripping layout. Combined 
+    with the `optim` parameters, you will likely always find the best settings 
+    suited for the hardware. Also, the receptive and expression fields sizes 
+    have a major contribution.

-# Build with Docker
-Docker build has to be called from the root of the repository (i.e. `docker build .` or `bash tools/docker/multibuild.sh`).
-You can build a custom image using `--build-arg` and several config files :
-- Ubuntu : `BASE_IMG` should accept any version, for additional packages see [build-deps-cli.txt](build-deps-cli.txt) and [build-deps-gui.txt](build-deps-gui.txt).
-- TensorFlow : `TF` arg for the git branch or tag + [build-env-tf.sh](build-env-tf.sh) and BZL_* arguments for the build configuration. `ZIP_TF_BIN` allows you to save compiled binaries if you want to install it elsewhere.
-- OrfeoToolBox : `OTB` arg for the git branch or tag + [build-flags-otb.txt](build-flags-otb.txt) to edit cmake flags. Set `KEEP_SRC_OTB` in order to preserve OTB git directory.
-
-### Base images
-```bash
-UBUNTU=20.04            # or 16.04, 18.04
-CUDA=11.2.2             # or 10.1, 10.2, 11.0.3
-CUDNN=8                 # or 7
-IMG=ubuntu:$UBUNTU
-GPU_IMG=nvidia/cuda:$CUDA-cudnn$CUDNN-devel-ubuntu$UBUNTU
-```
-
-### Default arguments
-```bash
-BASE_IMG                # mandatory
-CPU_RATIO=1
-GUI=false
-NUMPY_SPEC="==1.19.*"
-TF=v2.8.0
-OTB=8.1.0
-BZL_TARGETS="//tensorflow:libtensorflow_cc.so //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package"
-BZL_CONFIGS="--config=nogcp --config=noaws --config=nohdfs --config=opt"
-BZL_OPTIONS="--verbose_failures --remote_cache=http://localhost:9090"
-ZIP_TF_BIN=false
-KEEP_SRC_OTB=false
-SUDO=true
-
-# NumPy version requirement :
-# TF <  2.4 : "numpy<1.19.0,>=1.16.0"
-# TF >= 2.4 : "numpy==1.19.*"
-# TF >= 2.8 : "numpy==1.22.*"
-```
-
-### Bazel remote cache daemon
-If you just need to rebuild with different GUI or KEEP_SRC arguments, or may be a different branch of OTB, bazel cache will help you to rebuild everything except TF, even if the docker cache was purged (after `docker [system|builder] prune`).
-In order to recycle the cache, bazel config and TF git tag should be exactly the same, any change in [build-env-tf.sh](build-env-tf.sh) and `--build-arg` (if related to bazel env, cuda, mkl, xla...) may result in a fresh new build.
-
-Start a cache daemon - here with max 20GB but 10GB should be enough to save 2 TF builds (GPU and CPU):
-```bash
-mkdir -p $HOME/.cache/bazel-remote
-docker run --detach -u 1000:1000 -v $HOME/.cache/bazel-remote:/data -p 9090:8080 buchgr/bazel-remote-cache --max_size=20
-```
-Then just add ` --network='host'` to the docker build command, or connect bazel to a remote server - see 'BZL_OPTIONS'.  
-The other way of docker is a virtual bridge, but you'll need to edit the IP address.  
-
-## Images build examples
-```bash
-# Build for CPU using default Dockerfiles args (without AWS, HDFS or GCP support)
-docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:cpu --build-arg BASE_IMG=ubuntu:20.04 .
-
-# Clear bazel config var (deactivate default optimizations and unset noaws/nogcp/nohdfs)
-docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:cpu --build-arg BASE_IMG=ubuntu:20.04 --build-arg BZL_CONFIGS= .
-
-# Enable MKL
-MKL_CONFIG="--config=nogcp --config=noaws --config=nohdfs --config=opt --config=mkl"
-docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:cpu-mkl --build-arg BZL_CONFIGS="$MKL_CONFIG" --build-arg BASE_IMG=ubuntu:20.04 .
-
-# Build for GPU (if you're building for your system only you should edit CUDA_COMPUTE_CAPABILITIES in build-env-tf.sh)
-docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:gpu --build-arg BASE_IMG=nvidia/cuda:11.0.3-cudnn8-devel-ubuntu20.04 .
-
-# Build latest TF and OTB, set git branches/tags to clone
-docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:gpu-dev --build-arg BASE_IMG=nvidia/cuda:11.2.2-cudnn8-devel-ubuntu20.04 \
-    --build-arg KEEP_SRC_OTB=true --build-arg TF=nightly --build-arg OTB=develop .
-
-# Build old release (TF-2.1)
-docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:oldstable-gpu --build-arg BASE_IMG=nvidia/cuda:10.1-cudnn7-devel-ubuntu18.04 \
-    --build-arg TF=r2.1 --build-arg NUMPY_SPEC="<1.19" \
-    --build-arg BAZEL_OPTIONS="--noincompatible_do_not_split_linking_cmdline --verbose_failures --remote_cache=http://localhost:9090" .
-# You could edit the Dockerfile in order to clone an old branch of the repo instead of copying files from the build context
-```
-
-### Build for another machine and save TF compiled files 
-
-Example with TF 2.5
-
-```bash
-# Use same ubuntu and CUDA version than your target machine, beware of CC optimization and CPU compatibility
-# (set env variable CC_OPT_FLAGS and avoid "-march=native" if your Docker's CPU is optimized with AVX2/AVX512 but your target CPU isn't)
-docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:custom --build-arg BASE_IMG=nvidia/cuda:11.2.2-cudnn8-devel-ubuntu20.04 \
-    --build-arg TF=v2.5.0 --build-arg ZIP_TF_BIN=true .
-# Retrieve zip file
-docker run -v $HOME:/home/otbuser/volume otbtf:custom cp /opt/otbtf/tf-v2.5.0.zip /home/otbuser/volume
-
-# Target machine shell
-cd $HOME
-unzip tf-v2.5.0.zip
-sudo mkdir -p /opt/tensorflow/lib

-mv tf-v2.5.0/tag_constants.h $TF_WHEEL_DIR/include/tensorflow/cc/saved_model/

-
-### Debug build
-If you fail to build, you can log into the last layer and check CMake logs. Run `docker images`, find the latest layer ID and run a tmp container (`docker run -it d60496d9612e bash`).
-You may also need to split some multi-command layers in the Dockerfile.
-If you see OOM errors during SuperBuild you should decrease CPU_RATIO (e.g. 0.75).
-
-## Container examples
-```bash
-# Pull GPU image and create a new container with your home directory as volume (requires apt package nvidia-docker2 and CUDA>=11.0)
-docker create --gpus=all --volume $HOME:/home/otbuser/volume -it --name otbtf-gpu mdl4eo/otbtf:3.3.2-gpu
-
-# Run interactive
-docker start -i otbtf-gpu
-
-# Run in background
-docker start otbtf-gpu
-docker exec otbtf-gpu python -c 'import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.test.is_gpu_available())'
-```
-
-### Rebuild OTB with more modules
-```bash
-docker create --gpus=all -it --name otbtf-gpu-dev mdl4eo/otbtf:3.3.2-gpu-dev
-docker start -i otbtf-gpu-dev
-```
-```bash
-# From the container shell:
-sudo -i
-cd /src/otb/otb/Modules/Remote
-git clone https://gitlab.irstea.fr/raffaele.gaetano/otbSelectiveHaralickTextures.git
-cd /src/otb/build/OTB/build
-cmake -DModule_OTBAppSelectiveHaralickTextures=ON /src/otb/otb && make install -j
-```
-
-### Container with GUI
-```bash
-# GUI is disabled by default in order to save space, and because docker xvfb isn't working properly with OpenGL.
-# => otbgui seems OK but monteverdi isn't working
-docker build --network='host' -t otbtf:cpu-gui --build-arg BASE_IMG=ubuntu:20.04 --build-arg GUI=true .
-docker create -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -it --name otbtf-gui otbtf:cpu-gui
-docker start -i otbtf-gui
-$ mapla
-```
-
-## Common errors
-Build :
-`Error response from daemon: manifest for nvidia/cuda:11.0-cudnn8-devel-ubuntu20.04 not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown`
-=> Image is missing from dockerhub
-
-Run :
-`failed call to cuInit: UNKNOWN ERROR (303) / no NVIDIA GPU device is present: /dev/nvidia0 does not exist`
-=> Nvidia driver is missing or disabled, make sure to add ` --gpus=all` to your docker run or create command

+# Distributed training
+
+Thanks to the new API of Tensorflow since version 2.0, it's very easy to 
+perform distributed tranining with the exact same code. Just one single line 
+has to be changed!
+
+## Multi-worker mirrored strategy with a SLURM cluster
+
+In the following, we will explain how to use multiple nodes of a GPU cluster
+like the [Jean-Zay supercomputer](http://www.idris.fr/eng/jean-zay/jean-zay-presentation-eng.html),
+using `tf.distribute.MultiWorkerMirroredStrategy`.
+We will adopt the data parallelism scheme, meaning that all the computing 
+devices will have replicas of the model, but different chunks of data.
+The principle is that once the forward propagation is performed, the gradients 
+from the different devices are aggregated together, and the weights are updated
+on all GPUs.
+
+

+<figcaption>Jean-Zay has several hundreds of computing nodes with 4 or 8 GPUs. Copyright Photothèque CNRS/Cyril Frésillon</figcaption>
+</div>
+
+## Code
+
+We can start from the codebase of the fully convolutional model example 
+described in the OTBTF [Python API tutorial](#api_tutorial.html).
+
+### Strategy
+
+We change the strategy from `tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy` to
+`tf.distribute.MultiWorkerMirroredStrategy`.
+
+First, we have to instantiate a cluster resolver for SLURM, which is the job 
+scheduler of the cluster. The cluster resolver uses the environment variables 
+provided by SLURM to grab the useful parameters. On the Jean-Zay computer,
+the port base is **13565**:
+
+```python
+cluster_resolver = tf.distribute.cluster_resolver.SlurmClusterResolver(
+    port_base=13565
+)
+```
+
+Then we specify a communication protocol. The Jean-Zay computer supports 
+the NVIDIA NCCL communication protocol, which links tightly GPUs from different
+nodes:
+
+```python
+implementation = tf.distribute.experimental.CommunicationImplementation.NCCL
+communication_options = tf.distribute.experimental.CommunicationOptions(
+    implementation=implementation
+)
+```
+
+Finally, we can replace the strategy with the distributed one:
+
+```python
+#strategy = tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy()  # <-- that was before
+strategy = tf.distribute.MultiWorkerMirroredStrategy(
+    cluster_resolver=cluster_resolver,
+    communication_options=communication_options
+)
+```
+
+## SLURM job
+
+Now we have to provide a SLURM job to run our python code over several nodes.
+Below is the content of the *job.slurm* file:
+
+```commandline
+#!/bin/bash

+!!! Warning
+
+    The `tricks` module is deprecated since OTBTF 2.0
+
+The Tensorflow python API has changed significantly (for the best) after the
+Tensorflow 2.0 release. OTBTF used to provide the `tricks` module, providing 
+useful methods to generate the SavedModels, or convert checkpoints into 
+SavedModels.
+
+[Source code :fontawesome-brands-github:](https://github.com/remicres/otbtf/tree/master/otbtf/tricks/){ .md-button }
+
+## What is best in Tensorflow 2.X?
+
+- Shorter and simpler code
+- Easy to build and train a model with Keras, which has become the principal 
+interface for Tensorflow
+- More hardware-agnostic than ever: with the exact same code, you can run on 
+a single-cpu, GPU, or a pool of GPU servers.
+
+## Major changes between Tensorflow 1 and Tensorflow 2 APIs
+
+Here are a few tips and tricks for people that want to move from 
+Tensorflow 1 to Tensorflow 2 API.
+Models built for OTBTF have to take in account the following changes:
+
+- Models built with `otbtf.ModelBase` or `tensorflow.keras.model.Model` have 
+no longer to use `tensorflow.compat.v1.placeholder` but 
+`tensorflow.keras.Input` instead,
+- Tensorflow variable scopes are no longer used when the training is done from 
+Keras,
+- SavedModel can be created directly from the model instance! (as simple as 
+`mymodel.save("mymodel_v1_savedmode")`),
+- Switching between single cpu/gpu or multiple computing nodes, distributed 
+training, etc. is done using the so-called `tensorflow.Strategy`
+
+!!! Note
+
+    Read our [tutorial](#api_tutorial.html) to know more on working with Keras!

 It's common that very high resolution products are composed with a
 panchromatic channel at high-resolution (Pan), and a multispectral image
 generally at lower resolution (MS).
 This model inputs separately the two sources (Pan and MS) separately.

-## Code
+## Python code
 
 We can start from the codebase of the fully convolutional model example 
 described in the OTBTF [Python API tutorial](#api_tutorial.html).
 
+### Dataset
+
+For distributed training, we recommend to use the TFRecords rather than the
+Patch based images.
+This has two advantages:
+
+- Performance in terms of I/O
+- `otbtf` can be imported without anything else than `tensorflow` as 
+dependency. Indeed, the `otbtf.TFRecords` class just needs the `tensorflow` 
+module to work.
+
+!!! Info
+
+    When imported, OTBTF tries to import the GDAL-related classes (e.g.
+    `PatchesImagesReader`) and skip the import if an `ImportError` occurs (i.e.
+    when GDAL is not present in the environment). This allows to safely use the
+    other classes that rely purely on the `tensorflow` module (e.g. 
+    `otbtf.ModelBase`, `otbtf.TFRecords`, etc.).
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+To use OTBTF on environment where only Tensorflow is available, you can just 
+clone the OTBTF repository somewhere and install it in your favorite virtual
+environment with `pip`. Or you can also just update the `PYTHONPATH` to include
+the *otbtf* folder. You just have to be able to perform the import of the
+module from python code:
+
+```python
+import otbtf
+```
+
 ### Strategy
 
 We change the strategy from `tf.distribute.MirroredStrategy` to
@@ -63,29 +94,38 @@ strategy = tf.distribute.MultiWorkerMirroredStrategy(
 )
 ```
 
+The rest of the code is identical.
+
+!!! Warning
+
+    Be careful when calling `mymodel.save()` to export the SavedModel. When 
+    multiple nodes are used in parallel, this can lead to a corrupt save.
+    One good practice is to defer the call only to the master worker (e.g. node
+    0). You can identify the master worker using `otbtf.model._is_chief()`.
+
 ## SLURM job
 
 Now we have to provide a SLURM job to run our python code over several nodes.
