MobileNet SSD

[nikos1]

Is MobileNet SSD validated or supported using the Computer Vision SDK on GPU clDNN? Any MobileNet SSD samples or examples? I can use the Model Optimizer to create IR for the model but then fail to load IR using C++ API InferenceEngine::LoadNetwork().

Hi Nikos, 

MobileNet SSD wasn't validated on GPU, but it unofficially works on CPU. Only VGG SSD and GoogleNet SSD are supported in Computer Vision SDK R3.  

Best wishes,

Hi Anna,

Thank you for your reply. If it unofficially works on CPU may be promising to keep trying on GPU. Mainly interested on the GPU device in our workflow and applications. ModelOptimizer works fine and creates IR xml as mentioned above. When we try to run using the object_detection_sample_ssd I get the following "llegal step value in prior boxconv11_mbox_priorbox" error as shown below.

Would you have any suggestions on a workaround for MobileNet SSD on the GPU device? If not possible, any plans to support MobileNet SSD in the next releases?

Thanks,

Nikos

Hi Nikos, 

MobileNet SSD will be supported on GPU in the next release of Computer Vision SDK.
