Hey everyone this is my first question post. If I do something wrong or u need more information please just tell me I will try to give my best.
I tried to create a object detection for TensorFlow lite. For this I trained a model called ssd_mobilenet_v2_fpnlite_320x320_coco17_tpu-8 downloaded form here: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/g3doc/tf2_detection_zoo.md
I followed some Tutorial for that. This all worked fine. After this was done I exported my newst ckpt via
python exporter_main_v2.py
--pipeline_config_path=training/ssd_mobilenet_v2_fpnlite_320x320_coco17_tpu-8.config
--trained_checkpoint_dir=/training
--output_directory=/training/model
As a result i received under training/model/save_model my saved_model.pd. Now my plan was to convert this saved_model.pd to a .tflite file.
And this is where I am stuck. I tried to convert it with
tflite_convert
--output_file=tflite/
--saved_model_dir=model/saved_model
--graph_def_file=model/saved_model/saved_model.pb
--input_arrays=input --output_arrays=TFLite_Detection_PostProcess,TFLite_Detection_PostProcess:1,TFLite_Detection_PostProcess:2,TFLite_Detection_PostProcess:3
--input_shape=1,320,320,3
--allow_custom_ops
and with
toco
--saved_model_dir=model/saved_model
--output_file=tflite/detect.tflite
but what ever I do I always receive a long error message
tflite_convert --output_file=training/tflite/ --saved_model_dir=training/model/saved_model --graph_def_file=training/model/saved_model/saved_model.pb --input_arrays=input --output_arrays=TFLite_Detection_PostProcess,TFLite_Detection_PostProcess:1,TFLite_Detection_PostProcess:2,TFLite_Detection_PostProcess:3 --

Some ops are not supported by the native TFLite runtime, you can enable TF kernels fallback using TF Select. See instructions: https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/guide/ops_select
TF Select ops: ConcatV2, StridedSlice
Details:
tf.ConcatV2(tensor<f32>, tensor<f32>, tensor<f32>, tensor<f32>, tensor<i32>) -> (tensor<4xf32>) : {device = ""}
tf.StridedSlice(tensor<?x?x3xf32>, tensor<4xi32>, tensor<4xi32>, tensor<4xi32>) -> (tensor<1x?x?x3xf32>) : {begin_mask = 14 : i64, device = "", ellipsis_mask = 0 : i64, end_mask = 14 : i64, new_axis_mask = 1 : i64, shrink_axis_
mask = 0 : i64}
Those scripts I try to use are from here: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/object_detection
As I am a beginner with TensorFlow I dont really understand the problem here. As far I can understand this problem has something todo with the ops that some features which are support in TensorFlow 2 are not supported in TensorFlow Lite.
Found the soloution by my selfe.
I simply used the wrong script to convert from checkpoints to frozen graph(.pd)
I needed to use the export_tflite_graph_tf2.py script instead of the exporter_main_v2.py. After this I could simply use the tflite_convert script to export to .tflite
