Faster RCNN support for MYRIAD in 2019 R1?

[Keyes__Mike]

According to the note on this page Faster RCNN and Mask RCNN models are only supported on GPU and CPU: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/OpenVINO-Using-TensorFlow

However, in the release notes for 2019 R1 Known Issue #36 says "TensorFlow faster-rcnn-inception-v2 accuracy is lower than CPU reference (3.7% of relative difference) on Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick, Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2 and Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs"

Do Faster RCNN IRs now run on MYRIAD / NCS? (even if they have slightly lower accuracy...)

Dear Mike:

In the latest 2019 R1 document below it is mentioned that faster_rcnn_inception_v2, faster_rcnn_resnet101 is definitely supported on MYRIAD:
