mvNCCompile works only with Convolutional Layers

idata · ‎03-28-2019

Hi there,

I'm currently trying to compile a tensorflow model (that I trained using keras) to run on the NCS Stick 1. This model will process raw data and no images or visual content of any type.

After days of trying, I have the feeling, that I can compile only those models with mvNCCompile that have a 3D-input and have a Convolutional layer as the first layer after the input. Otherwise, I get the following error log:

user@ubuntu:~/dirpath4$ mvNCCompile TF_Model/tf_model.meta -in=dense_1_input_1 -on=dense_2_1/Sigmoid
/usr/local/bin/ncsdk/Controllers/Parsers/TensorFlowParser/Convolution.py:47: SyntaxWarning: assertion is always true, perhaps remove parentheses?
  assert(False, "Layer type not supported by Convolution: " + obj.type)

ValueError: cannot reshape array of size 8 into shape (1,8,1,2)

In this example, the first layer after the input was a Dense layer with 8 units.

Can you please help me with getting this thing to run? :smile:

Hi @martin-online

I replied on your other thread, but I'll post here too just in case (:

You're right, the NCSDK is only designed to run on convolutional neural networks. So when you input only raw data and no images, the Tensorflow parser checks the dimensions of the input and tries to process the input data. Since it's expecting a 3D input, it throws an error.

I hope this information was helpful. Please let us know if you have any further questions!

Best Regards,
