Is it safe to directly change IENetwork.inputs to IENetwork.input_info?

[albert5]

Hi,

First of all I know there is a docs and I have already read it but it is not quite clear enough so I don't understand whether I can actually safely change inputs to input_ info I don't want to cause a big error to my program when I change it. So can anyone please guide me about this? Thanks

Hi Albert Anthony,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

For OpenVINO™ 2020.3 and below, user can use ‘inputs’ property of IENetwork class to access DataPtr objects. Starting from OpenVINO™ 2020.4, ‘inputs’ property of IENetwork class is deprecated. However, to access DataPtr, user need to use ‘input_data’ property of InputInfoPtr objects which can be accessed by ‘input_info’ property.

In short, for OpenVINO™ 2020.3 and earlier, ‘inputs’ property is a dictionary that maps input layer names to DataPtr objects. For OpenVINO™ 2020.4 and later, ‘input_info’ property is the dictionary that maps input layer names to InputInfoPtr objects.

Hence, we recommend you use ‘input_info’ property instead of ‘inputs’ property.

Wan
