Working with Open Model Zoo Models

This tutorial is also available as a Jupyter notebook that can be cloned directly from GitHub. See the installation guide for instructions to run this tutorial locally on Windows, Linux or macOS. To run without installing anything, click the launch binder button.

This tutorial shows how to download a model from Open Model Zoo, convert it to OpenVINO™ IR format, show information about the model, and benchmark the model.

OpenVINO and Open Model Zoo Tools

OpenVINO and Open Model Zoo tools are listed in the table below.

Tool	Command	Description
Model Downloader	omz_download er	Download models from Open Model Zoo.
Model Converter	omz_converte r	Convert Open Model Zoo models to OpenVINO’s IR format.
Info Dumper	omz_info_dum per	Print information about Open Model Zoo models.
Benchmark Tool	benchmark_ap p	Benchmark model performance by computing inference time.

Preparation

Model Name

Set model_name to the name of the Open Model Zoo model to use in this notebook. Refer to the list of public and Intel pre-trained models for a full list of models that can be used. Set model_name to the model you want to use.

# model_name = "resnet-50-pytorch"
model_name = "mobilenet-v2-pytorch"

Imports

import json
import sys
from pathlib import Path

from IPython.display import Markdown, display
from openvino.runtime import Core

sys.path.append("../utils")
from notebook_utils import DeviceNotFoundAlert, NotebookAlert

Settings and Configuration

Set the file and directory paths. By default, this notebook downloads models from Open Model Zoo to the open_model_zoo_models directory in your $HOME directory. On Windows, the $HOME directory is usually c:\users\username, on Linux /home/username. To change the folder, change base_model_dir in the cell below.

The following settings can be changed:

• base_model_dir: Models will be downloaded into the intel and public folders in this directory.

• omz_cache_dir: Cache folder for Open Model Zoo. Specifying a cache directory is not required for Model Downloader and Model Converter, but it speeds up subsequent downloads.

• precision: If specified, only models with this precision will be downloaded and converted.

base_model_dir = Path("model")
omz_cache_dir = Path("cache")
precision = "FP16"

# Check if an iGPU is available on this system to use with Benchmark App.
ie = Core()
gpu_available = "GPU" in ie.available_devices

print(
    f"base_model_dir: {base_model_dir}, omz_cache_dir: {omz_cache_dir}, gpu_availble: {gpu_available}"
)

base_model_dir: model, omz_cache_dir: cache, gpu_availble: False

Get Model Information

The Info Dumper prints the following information for Open Model Zoo models:

• Model name

• Description

• Framework that was used to train the model

• License URL

• Precisions supported by the model

• Subdirectory: the location of the downloaded model

• Task type

This information can be shown by running omz_info_dumper --name model_name in a terminal. The information can also be parsed and used in scripts.

In the next cell, run Info Dumper and use json to load the information in a dictionary.

model_info_output = %sx omz_info_dumper --name $model_name
model_info = json.loads(model_info_output.get_nlstr())

if len(model_info) > 1:
    NotebookAlert(
        f"There are multiple IR files for the {model_name} model. The first model in the "
        "omz_info_dumper output will be used for benchmarking. Change "
        "`selected_model_info` in the cell below to select a different model from the list.",
        "warning",
    )

Having information of the model in a JSON file enables extraction of the path to the model directory, and building the path to the OpenVINO IR file.

selected_model_info = model_info[0]
model_path = (
    base_model_dir
    / Path(selected_model_info["subdirectory"])
    / Path(f"{precision}/{selected_model_info['name']}.xml")

print(model_path, "exists:", model_path.exists())

Run Benchmark Tool

By default, Benchmark Tool runs inference for 60 seconds in asynchronous mode on CPU. It returns inference speed as latency (milliseconds per image) and throughput values (frames per second).

## Uncomment the next line to show Help in benchmark_app which explains the command-line options.
# !benchmark_app --help

Benchmark with Different Settings

The benchmark_app tool displays logging information that is not always necessary. A more compact result is achieved when the output is parsed with json.

The following cells show some examples of benchmark_app with different parameters. Below are some useful parameters:

• -d A device to use for inference. For example: CPU, GPU, MULTI. Default: CPU.

• -t Time expressed in number of seconds to run inference. Default: 60.

• -api Use asynchronous (async) or synchronous (sync) inference. Default: async.

• -b Batch size. Default: 1.

Run ! benchmark_app --help to get an overview of all possible command-line parameters.

In the next cell, define the benchmark_model() function that calls benchmark_app. This makes it easy to try different combinations. In the cell below that, you display available devices on the system.

Note: In this notebook, benchmark_app runs for 15 seconds to give a quick indication of performance. For more accurate performance, it is recommended to run inference for at least one minute by setting the t parameter to 60 or higher, and run benchmark_app in a terminal/command prompt after closing other applications. Copy the benchmark command and paste it in a command prompt where you have activated the openvino_env environment.
