Convert a TensorFlow Model to OpenVINO™#
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 short tutorial shows how to convert a TensorFlow MobileNetV3 image classification model to OpenVINO Intermediate Representation (OpenVINO IR) format, using Model Conversion API. After creating the OpenVINO IR, load the model in OpenVINO Runtime and do inference with a sample image.

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.
# Install openvino package
%pip install -q "openvino>=2023.1.0" "opencv-python"
%pip install -q "matplotlib>=3.4"
%pip install -q "tensorflow-macos>=2.5; sys_platform == 'darwin' and platform_machine == 'arm64' and python_version > '3.8'" # macOS M1 and M2
%pip install -q "tensorflow>=2.5; sys_platform == 'darwin' and platform_machine != 'arm64' and python_version > '3.8'" # macOS x86
%pip install -q "tensorflow>=2.5; sys_platform != 'darwin' and python_version > '3.8'"
%pip install -q tf_keras tensorflow_hub tqdm

Convert a Model to OpenVINO IR Format#
Convert a TensorFlow Model to OpenVINO IR Format#
Use the model conversion Python API to convert the TensorFlow model to
OpenVINO IR. The ov.convert_model
function accept path to saved
model directory and returns OpenVINO Model class instance which
represents this model. Obtained model is ready to use and to be loaded
on a device using ov.compile_model
or can be saved on a disk using
the ov.save_model
function. See the
tutorial
for more information about using model conversion API with TensorFlow
models.
# Run model conversion API if the IR model file does not exist
if not ir_path.exists():
print("Exporting TensorFlow model to IR... This may take a few minutes.")
ov_model = ov.convert_model(model_path, input=[[1, 224, 224, 3]])
ov.save_model(ov_model, ir_path)
else:
print(f"IR model {ir_path} already exists.")
Exporting TensorFlow model to IR... This may take a few minutes.
Test Inference on the Converted Model#
Load the Model#
core = ov.Core()
model = core.read_model(ir_path)
Select inference device#
select device from dropdown list for running inference using OpenVINO
device = device_widget()
compiled_model = core.compile_model(model=model, device_name=device.value)
Get Model Information#
input_key = compiled_model.input(0)
output_key = compiled_model.output(0)
network_input_shape = input_key.shape
Load an Image#
Load an image, resize it, and convert it to the input shape of the network.
# Download the image from the openvino_notebooks storage
image_filename = download_file(
"https://storage.openvinotoolkit.org/repositories/openvino_notebooks/data/data/image/coco.jpg",
directory="data",
)
# The MobileNet network expects images in RGB format.
image = cv2.cvtColor(cv2.imread(filename=str(image_filename)), code=cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
# Resize the image to the network input shape.
resized_image = cv2.resize(src=image, dsize=(224, 224))
# Transpose the image to the network input shape.
input_image = np.expand_dims(resized_image, 0)
plt.imshow(image);

Timing#
Measure the time it takes to do inference on thousand images. This gives an indication of performance. For more accurate benchmarking, use the Benchmark Tool in OpenVINO. Note that many optimizations are possible to improve the performance.
num_images = 1000
start = time.perf_counter()
for _ in range(num_images):
compiled_model([input_image])
end = time.perf_counter()
time_ir = end - start
print(f"IR model in OpenVINO Runtime/CPU: {time_ir/num_images:.4f} " f"seconds per image, FPS: {num_images/time_ir:.2f}")
IR model in OpenVINO Runtime/CPU: 0.0010 seconds per image, FPS: 999.35
