sampleUffSSD conversion fails? (KeyError: 'image_tensor')

AI & Data Science Deep Learning (Training & Inference) TensorRT
1

I downloaded TensorRT-4.0.1.6, and tried sampleUFFSSD.

As a first step, I tried to convert a frozen graph to UFF as in the instruction (README.txt in sampleUFFSSD folder.)

convert-to-uff tensorflow --input-file frozen_inference_graph.pb -O NMS -p config.py

An error looks like:

KeyError: 'image_tensor'

It complains there is no ā€˜image_tensorā€™ key, but I checked there is ā€˜image_tensorā€™ node in the frozen graph. What is the problem?

Suspect 1:

In ā€œconfig.pyā€, it seems to replace ā€œPreprocessorā€ ā†’ ā€œInputā€, ā€œToFloatā€ ā†’ ā€œInputā€, ā€œimage_tensorā€ ā†’ ā€œInputā€.

namespace_plugin_map = {
    ...
    "Preprocessor": Input,
    "ToFloat": Input,
    "image_tensor": Input,
     ...
}

And the conversion will delete the original input placeholder ā€œimage_tensorā€. However,
since ā€œToFloatā€ has its input ā€œimage_tensorā€, its replace version ā€œInputā€ will still have its input ā€œimage_tensorā€, which is deleted.

I found the error comes from it. Is it a bug or was there an update? I am wondering how the native sample can have this error. Wasnā€™t there a problem? Could you please make sure?

Suspect 2:

One thing I suspect is inconsistent versions of 'uff" module as follows:

(tf) $ python -m pip show uff    
Name: uff
Version: 0.4.0
Summary: Toolkit for working with the Universal Framwork Format (UFF). Provides a converter from the tensorflow graph format to UFFwith support for more frameworks coming.

Is it usual?

Just in case, here are the files I used:
(However, I downloaded the graph as in the instruction, and I didnā€™t touch config.py, so nothing special.)

I have the same issue, I used the same config.py as the example, and the ssd_inception_v2_coco_2018_01_28 referenced in the README.

I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/convert-to-uff", line 11, in <module>

    inp_node = tf_nodes[inp_name]
KeyError: 'image_tensor'

I then go and remove image_tensor from the config.py and it converts correctly but then I get a different error when converting to engine

./bin/sample_uff_ssd
data/ssd/sample_ssd.uff

ERROR: UFFParser: Parser error: image_tensor: Invalid DataType value!

Iā€™ve noticed the same problem here. Any solution would be greatly appreciated!

Iā€™ve been able to successfully do the uff conversion. See my setup here: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1037060/tensorrt/trt-4-0-sampleuffssd-int8-calibration-failing/post/5268434/#5268434

I did not have to modify the config.py at all.

During installation however, to get convert-to-uff to successfully show up in my usr/bin, I had to install it from the whl file in the tar install, where the rest of TensorRT was installed via deb file.

Also note, I do see the odd version inconsistency as well for uff where pip show uff is 0.4.0 and python ā†’ uff.verions is 0.3.0.

@paulkwon Your files on drive require permission, if you make them public Iā€™ll check them out.

also when i list the tensor with the -l flag i dont see any input_tensor node anywhere

You can find my config.py attached to my previous comment. I just added the .log so it could be uploaded. Is there anything else about my setup you want to know?

Hey joe, thanks for the quick response,
we have identical configy.py and installed packages, so that leaves the actual model , Iā€™m using this download.tensorflow.org/models/object_detection/ssd_inception_v2_coco_2018_01_28.tar.gz

8

Ahh yes, that appears to be the difference. I havenā€™t pulled the latest model and am still using:
ssd_inception_v2_coco_2017_11_17

Use this to get the older model:
curl -L http://download.tensorflow.org/models/object_detection/ssd_inception_v2_coco_2017_11_17.tar.gz | tar -xz -C .

9

ok this works, thanks a lot,
so there are changes in the freezing graph process, the team making the guide should mention that somewhere.

10

Indeed, it should be added.

Were you able to get the int8 calibration to work?

Iā€™m having the following error: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1037060/tensorrt/trt-4-0-sampleuffssd-int8-calibration-failing/post/5268434/#5268434

11

We are not really interested in int8 only fp16 as in our case accuracy is paramount for us.
But Iā€™ll give it a go.
Now i need to figure out what went wrong with the newer model so i can re freeze my own custom ssd models.

12

Yes, I also verified the old version of frozen graph works. Thanks for the link!

13

@paulkown,

I solved the new model problem. The following code can work in old and new model. Please try it and let me know if you have any problem.

namespace_plugin_map = {
    "MultipleGridAnchorGenerator": PriorBox,
    "Postprocessor": NMS,
    "Preprocessor": Input,
    # "ToFloat": Input,
    # "image_tensor": Input,
    "MultipleGridAnchorGenerator/Concatenate": concat_priorbox,
    "concat": concat_box_loc,
    "concat_1": concat_box_conf,
}

namespace_remove = {
    "ToFloat",
    "image_tensor",
    "Preprocessor/map/TensorArrayStack_1/TensorArrayGatherV3",
}

def preprocess(dynamic_graph):
    # remove the unrelated or error layers
    dynamic_graph.remove(dynamic_graph.find_nodes_by_path(namespace_remove), remove_exclusive_dependencies=False)

    # Now create a new graph by collapsing namespaces
    dynamic_graph.collapse_namespaces(namespace_plugin_map)
    # Remove the outputs, so we just have a single output node (NMS).
    dynamic_graph.remove(dynamic_graph.graph_outputs, remove_exclusive_dependencies=False)

    # Remove the Squeeze to avoid "Assertion `isPlugin(layerName)' failed"
    Squeeze = dynamic_graph.find_node_inputs_by_name(dynamic_graph.graph_outputs[0], 'Squeeze')
    dynamic_graph.forward_inputs(Squeeze)

This works like a charm, thanks a lot

15

@liuyoungshop, Thanks for providing a more sustainable answer!! It was great help!

16

if you are using the newest tensorflow object detection api to export the tensorflow frozen graph, please change

"MultipleGridAnchorGenerator/Concatenate": concat_priorbox,

to

"Concatenate": concat_priorbox,

.

17

@liuyoungshop, the earlier fix for the newer model worked like a charm
I am a newcomer in this whole TensorRT business and I am having a hard time understanding a few things.

  • How did you know that you had to remove those nodes for the newer model?
  • How do you know what to replace an unsupported layer with? any advise and/or resources would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi All,

I am trying to convert model (.pb) to uff in my host PC to do inference on Jetson TX2. I tried converting it on TX2 also but received the same KeyError: 'NMS

@rohit167 May I know which TensorRT version? and the L4t version? I am using jetpack 4.2.2 and had no problem with tensorflow 1.12.

20

Thanks @liuyoungshop and @paulkown. It is working with TensorFlow version 1.15.2, the latest Object Detection API, and TensorRT 6.
