If there are no problems with the tools you are currently using, updating the tools is not required.

...

  • Updated CV tool provided by SoC vender

  • Note: Caffe SSD model cannot be converted. Please contact us if you have an urgent request.

Overview

...

In developing additional application with AI, trained AI model on Caffe/Tensorflow/ONNX framework needs to be convert to binary file (cavalry.bin), which is executed by accelerator H/W (CVFlow) embedded to AI camera.

...

Note
  • The target users of this document are supposed to have skill of training AI model.

  • The cvtool is not the tool for training AI model.
    Users have to train it in each framework in advance.

  • The cvtool handles CNN as target AI model.

  • The model of tensorflow v2.x needs to be converted to tflite or ONNX in advance.

  • Pytorch model needs to be converted to ONNX in advance

  • Different binary file (cavalry.bin) is required for ambaCV2X camera and ambaCV5X camera.

Development Flow

...

The CV Tool handles colored items in the figure below.

...

The inference time of 8bit operation is faster but less accurate compared to 16bit operation.

Preparation

...

Please refer here for the environment construction procedure.

Conversion
