Overview
In developing additional application with AI, trained AI model on Caffe/Tensorflow/ONNX framework is needed to convert to binary file (cavalry.bin), which is executable by accelerator H/W (CVFlow) inside AI camera.
The CV tool is what does this conversion process.
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 previously.The cvtool handles CNN as target AI model.
The model of tensorflow v2.x needs to be converted to tflite in advance.
Pytorch model needs to be converted to ONNX in advance
Development Flow
The CV Tool handles colored items in the figure.
Retraining model is not included in this process.
AI camera’s accelerator H/W (CVFlow) performs in 16bit or 8bit fixed point operation, so data length of trained model is quantized into 16bit or 8bit.
The user can select the quantization setting from the following three types.
only 16bit
16bit/8bit mixed (the CV tool decides data length of each operation)
only 8bit
8bit operation results in faster inference time and less accuracy than 16bit.
Preparation
Please refer here for the environment construction procedure.
Conversion
Please refer to the following page for model conversion.
AI model convert tool: Tensorflow
AI model convert tool: ONNX/PyTorch
