Looks like the Caffe layer "Silence" is not supported... is this correct?

[idata]

Hey Guys,

I am using a deploy.prototxt definition that has a "Silence" layer… as a result, I am seeing the following error with the example environment =>

mdouglas_95136:~/workspace/ncsdk/examples/caffe/GoogLeNet$ make run

making prereqs

(cd ../../data/ilsvrc12; make)make[1]: Entering directory '/home/user/workspace/ncsdk/examples/data/ilsvrc12'make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/user/workspace/ncsdk/examples/data/ilsvrc12'

making prototxt

Prototxt file already exists

making caffemodel

caffemodel file already exists

making compile

mvNCCompile -w deploy.caffemodel -s 12 deploy.prototxtmvNCCompile v02.00, Copyright @ Movidius Ltd 2016

[Warning: 37] Output layer's name (instance_ignore_layer) must match its top (category_score)

[Error 4] Toolkit Error: Stage Type Not Supported: Silence

Anyone know if:

a) this is a legitimate error and "Silence" layer is not supported?andb) when is the support coming?c) if it's in Beta, can I be a Beta tester? :-)

Thanks a bunch!

@mdouglas_95136 Thanks for the update. While debugging the issue, I made the same input shape change myself to your prototxt file. I'll ping you once I find the root cause.

@Tome_at_Intel Thanks so much Tome.

I believe I'm so close here.--- NOTE: this will be a LiDAR perception piece (object detection) running on the Movidious NCS on the 2nd ARMv8 target (other than rpi)!so good stuffMark

Good Morning Tome!--- Just checking in on the deploy.prototxt file I linked you to under ApolloAuto. I was wondering if you guys made any head-way on the syntax issue?Thanks,Mark

@mdouglas_95136 I've been testing a few different things out. I removed your Silence layer because I noticed that the Silence layer in your prototxt file had no top layer and just a bottom layer and as such, there shouldn't be any problem with removing it. I was able to reproduce the same error you received, "Could not build graph. Missing link: Data."

Upon further inspection, I noticed that the data layer is being fed into the slice layer and the conv1_1 layer. I'm sorry to report that currently the NCSDK doesn't support the data layer into multiple layers at the moment. It is an issue that we are aware of and we are working on at the moment.

I'll send you an update as soon as we release a fix for this issue.
