+# rocCV PyTorch Classification Sample
+This sample demonstrates how to use rocCV to preprocess an image for classification and run it through the ResNet50 model with PyTorch.
+
+## Dependencies
+Build rocCV with Python version 3.11 by giving the following in the cmake command:
+```shell
+-DPYTHON_VERSION_SUGGESTED=3.11
+```
+
+## Command line
+```shell
+python3.11 pytorch_classification.py --input path/to/image
+```
+
+## Preprocessing Operators
+1. Resize: Resizes the input image to 224x224.
+2. Convert To: Converts the input pixels to float32.
+3. Normalize: Normalizes using ImageNet Statistics.
+4. Reformat: Converts the tensor from NHWC to NCHW which is the format expected by PyTorch.
