[TAO API 5.5] Detectnet_v2 deprecation?

• Network Type: Detectnet_v2
• TLT Version: TAO5.5.0-api

¿TAO 5.5 API kills/deprecate detectnet_v2?

After fight with the last TAO update to implement and use the new autolabeling functions, find that the rest of the teams lost the possibility to continue using and improving the open projects with the detectnet_v2 networks, based in the TF1 containerd.

Also to mention the documentation about the migration…to cry and lose time.

https://docs.nvidia.com/tao/tao-toolkit/text/migration_guides/migrating_to_tao_5.3_toolkit_apis.html

Where are all the /org/ calls? and the new upload datasets methods?, where is explained if we don’t use the AWS file storage?.. and the workspace new entity?

Any suggestion to support to the detectnet_v2 or downgrade to 5.2?

Try to launch a “convert” action from a new dataset with a “kitti” format, with the detectnet configuration, and the TAO api launch TF2 instead TF1 container… any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

About that?

For TAO-API 5.5, the TF1 networks are removed because 5.5 needs the models to be available as microservices but tf1 models don’t allow that.
If you are going to use TAO-API for detectnet_v2(one of the tf1 models), please use previous 5.3.0 or older tao-api.

BTW, for TAO-API 5.5, below are some info. They are the workaround of doc issue mentioned above.

Chart: tao_front_end_services/chart at main · NVIDIA/tao_front_end_services · GitHub

Thanks.

This information will be very useful to know before waste several days trying to do it working. And more useful to be included in the ChangeLOG and general Documentation.
