NCS2 + Raspberry 3 B Rev 1.2 + Openvino toolkit: ie.read_network(model, xml) doesn't work

[ppppp]

Dear colleagues,

After installing OpenVINO™ toolkit for Raspbian* OS according to this page,
https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/openvino_docs_install_guides_installing_openvino_raspbian.html

tried to run the following python(ver 3.5.3) code using IR files downloaded from https://download.01.org/opencv/2020/openvinotoolkit/2020.1/open_model_zoo/.

And it gave me the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'openvino.inference_engine.ie_api.IECore' object has no attribute 'read_network'

************* code ************************

import sys
import cv2
from openvino.inference_engine import IENetwork, IEPlugin, IECore

def main():

model_xml='/home/pi/action-recognition-0001-decoder.xml'
model_bin='/home/pi/action-recognition-0001-decoder.bin'
#net = IENetwork(model=model_xml, weights=model_bin)

ie = IECore()
net = ie.read_network(model=model_xml, weights=model_bin)
exec_net = ie.load_network(network=net, device_name="MYRIAD", num_requests=2)
#plugin = IEPlugin(device='CPU', plugin_dirs=None)
#exec_net = plugin.load(network=net, num_requests=1)

input_layer = next(iter(net.input_info))
model_n, model_c, model_h, model_w = net.input_info[input_layer].input_data.shape
print(net.input_info)
out_blob = next(iter(net.outputs)) #out_blob = 'detection_out'
print(model_n, model_c, model_h, model_w)

del net

Thanks in advance for your support!

Hi ppppp,

Thanks for reaching out. It might be due to an incompatibility with the latest IR versions and OpenVINO™ toolkit for Raspbian. Please try to use the 2019 R3 version models.

Let us know if the issue persists.

Regards,

David C.

Dear David,

Thank you for answering my question.

I tried to use 2019 R3 version models, so  the following lines were executed succesfully.

exec_net = ie.load_network(network=net, device_name="MYRIAD", num_requests=2)

But the following code failed.

    exec_net = ie.load_network(network=net, device_name="MYRIAD", num_requests=2)

The error message is as follows

　Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'openvino.inference_engine.ie_api.IENetwork' object has no attribute 'input_info'

And I tried   this code     net.inout_info , but   I got the same error message.

Sincerely,

PPPPP

Hi ppppp,

Thank you for the information provided. Please, try to update to the latest OpenVINO toolkit™ version. Also, make sure to use the Open Model Zoo pre-trained models from the latest version too, as the previous ones are not compatible.

Additionally, you should use IECore only instead of IEPlugin, as it has been deprecated on the latest release. The load_network and read_network functions should work, please let us know if there is still an error while running your code.

Best regards,

David C.
