Convert a PaddlePaddle Model to OpenVINO™ IR

This Jupyter notebook can be launched on-line, opening an interactive environment in a browser window. You can also make a local installation. Choose one of the following options:

This notebook shows how to convert a MobileNetV3 model from PaddleHub, pre-trained on the ImageNet dataset, to OpenVINO IR. It also shows how to perform classification inference on a sample image, using OpenVINO Runtime and compares the results of the PaddlePaddle model with the IR model.

Installation Instructions

This is a self-contained example that relies solely on its own code.

We recommend running the notebook in a virtual environment. You only need a Jupyter server to start. For details, please refer to Installation Guide.

Settings

Set IMAGE_FILENAME to the filename of an image to use. Set MODEL_NAME to the PaddlePaddle model to download from PaddleHub. MODEL_NAME will also be the base name for the IR model. The notebook is tested with the MobileNetV3_large_x1_0 model. Other models may use different preprocessing methods and therefore require some modification to get the same results on the original and converted model.

First of all, we need to download and unpack model files. The first time you run this notebook, the PaddlePaddle model is downloaded from PaddleHub. This may take a while.

# Download the image from the openvino_notebooks storage
img = download_file(
    "https://storage.openvinotoolkit.org/repositories/openvino_notebooks/data/data/image/coco_close.png",
    directory="data",
)

IMAGE_FILENAME = img.as_posix()

MODEL_NAME = "MobileNetV3_large_x1_0"
MODEL_DIR = Path("model")
if not MODEL_DIR.exists():
    MODEL_DIR.mkdir()
MODEL_URL = "https://paddle-imagenet-models-name.bj.bcebos.com/dygraph/inference/{}_infer.tar".format(MODEL_NAME)
download_file(MODEL_URL, directory=MODEL_DIR)
file = tarfile.open(MODEL_DIR / "{}_infer.tar".format(MODEL_NAME))
res = file.extractall(MODEL_DIR)
if not res:
    print(f'Model Extracted to "./{MODEL_DIR}".')
else:
    print("Error Extracting the model. Please check the network.")

Show Inference on PaddlePaddle Model

In the next cell, we load the model, load and display an image, do inference on that image, and then show the top three prediction results.

classifier = PaddleClas(inference_model_dir=MODEL_DIR / "{}_infer".format(MODEL_NAME))
result = next(classifier.predict(IMAGE_FILENAME))
class_names = result[0]["label_names"]
scores = result[0]["scores"]
image = Image.open(IMAGE_FILENAME)
plt.imshow(image)
for class_name, softmax_probability in zip(class_names, scores):
    print(f"{class_name}, {softmax_probability:.5f}")

classifier.predict() takes an image file name, reads the image, preprocesses the input, then returns the class labels and scores of the image. Preprocessing the image is done behind the scenes. The classification model returns an array with floating point values for each of the 1000 ImageNet classes. The higher the value, the more confident the network is that the class number corresponding to that value (the index of that value in the network output array) is the class number for the image.

To see PaddlePaddle’s implementation for the classification function and for loading and preprocessing data, uncomment the next two cells.

# classifier??

# classifier.get_config()

The classifier.get_config() module shows the preprocessing configuration for the model. It should show that images are normalized, resized and cropped, and that the BGR image is converted to RGB before propagating it through the network. In the next cell, we get the classifier.predictror.preprocess_ops property that returns list of preprocessing operations to do inference on the OpenVINO IR model using the same method.

preprocess_ops = classifier.predictor.preprocess_ops


def process_image(image):
    for op in preprocess_ops:
        image = op(image)
    return image

It is useful to show the output of the process_image() function, to see the effect of cropping and resizing. Because of the normalization, the colors will look strange, and matplotlib will warn about clipping values.

pil_image = Image.open(IMAGE_FILENAME)
processed_image = process_image(np.array(pil_image))
print(f"Processed image shape: {processed_image.shape}")
# Processed image is in (C,H,W) format, convert to (H,W,C) to show the image
plt.imshow(np.transpose(processed_image, (1, 2, 0)))

2024-12-10 02:42:46 WARNING: Clipping input data to the valid range for imshow with RGB data ([0..1] for floats or [0..255] for integers).

Processed image shape: (3, 224, 224)

<matplotlib.image.AxesImage at 0x7fe3805ac910>

To decode the labels predicted by the model to names of classes, we need to have a mapping between them. The model config contains information about class_id_map_file, which stores such mapping. The code below shows how to parse the mapping into a dictionary to use with the OpenVINO model.

class_id_map_file = classifier.get_config()["PostProcess"]["Topk"]["class_id_map_file"]
class_id_map = {}
with open(class_id_map_file, "r") as fin:
    lines = fin.readlines()
    for line in lines:
        partition = line.split("\n")[0].partition(" ")
        class_id_map[int(partition[0])] = str(partition[-1])

Convert the Model to OpenVINO IR Format

Call the OpenVINO Model Conversion API to convert the PaddlePaddle model to OpenVINO IR, with FP32 precision. ov.convert_model function accept path to PaddlePaddle model and returns OpenVINO Model class instance which represents this model. Obtained model is ready to use and loading on device using ov.compile_model or can be saved on disk using ov.save_model function. See the Model Conversion Guide for more information about the Model Conversion API.

model_xml = Path(MODEL_NAME).with_suffix(".xml")
if not model_xml.exists():
    ov_model = ov.convert_model("model/MobileNetV3_large_x1_0_infer/inference.pdmodel")
    ov.save_model(ov_model, str(model_xml))
else:
    print(f"{model_xml} already exists.")

Show Inference on OpenVINO Model

Load the IR model, get model information, load the image, do inference, convert the inference to a meaningful result, and show the output. See the OpenVINO Runtime API Notebook for more information.

# Load OpenVINO Runtime and OpenVINO IR model
core = ov.Core()
model = core.read_model(model_xml)
compiled_model = core.compile_model(model=model, device_name=device.value)

# Get model output
output_layer = compiled_model.output(0)

# Read, show, and preprocess input image
# See the "Show Inference on PaddlePaddle Model" section for source of process_image
image = Image.open(IMAGE_FILENAME)
plt.imshow(image)
input_image = process_image(np.array(image))[None,]

# Do inference
ov_result = compiled_model([input_image])[output_layer][0]

# find the top three values
top_indices = np.argsort(ov_result)[-3:][::-1]
top_scores = ov_result[top_indices]

# Convert the inference results to class names, using the same labels as the PaddlePaddle classifier
for index, softmax_probability in zip(top_indices, top_scores):
    print(f"{class_id_map[index]}, {softmax_probability:.5f}")

Timing and Comparison

Measure the time it takes to do inference on fifty images and compare the result. The timing information gives an indication of performance. For a fair comparison, we include the time it takes to process the image. For more accurate benchmarking, use the OpenVINO benchmark tool. Note that many optimizations are possible to improve the performance.

num_images = 50

image = Image.open(fp=IMAGE_FILENAME)
