About Normalization using pre-trained vgg16 networks

Usually if your use case stays in the same data domain, the mean and std won’t be that different and you can try to use the ImageNet statistics.
I would recommend to use your own data statistics if you are dealing with another domain, e.g. medical images.
If you are in doubt that the ImageNet stats are a good fit for your data, I would re-calculate them on my dataset.
