I'm playing around with MediaPipe for hand tracking and found this useful wrapper for loading MediaPipe's hand_landmark.tflite model. It works without any problems for me on Ubuntu 18.04 with Tensorflow 1.14.0.
However, when I try use a newer recently released model, I run into the following error:
INFO: Initialized TensorFlow Lite runtime.
Traceback (most recent call last):

RuntimeError: tensorflow/lite/kernels/dequantize.cc:62 op_context.input->type == kTfLiteUInt8 || op_context.input->type == kTfLiteInt8 was not true.Node number 0 (DEQUANTIZE) failed to prepare.
When looking at the two models in Netron, I can see that the newer model uses nodes of the type Dequantize which seem to cause the problem. As I'm a beginner when it comes to Tensorflow I don't really know where to go from here.
from pathlib import Path
import tensorflow as tf
def use_mediapipe_model():
interp_joint = tf.lite.Interpreter(
f"{Path(__file__).parent}/hand_landmark.tflite") # path to model
interp_joint.allocate_tensors()
if __name__ == "__main__":
use_mediapipe_model()
Is the problem related to the version of Tensorflow that I'm using or am I doing something wrong when it comes to loading the .tflite models?
Doesn't work in TF 1.14.0. You need at least 1.15.2
