Converters

Converters are Python libraries that run on x86 and are used to convert Keras or ONNX models to ElcoreNN format.

ElcoreNN converters

ElcoreNN model format

ElcoreNN model format is represented by two files. The first is a JSON file that describes the layers of the model. The second is a binary file that contains the weights of the model.

keras-elcorenn and onnx-elcorenn convert Keras and ONNX model to ElcoreNN model format.

keras-elcorenn

keras-elcorenn is a Python library that converts a model from Keras to ElcoreNN.

Requirements:

• python version >=3.7

1. Download keras-elcorenn archive:

   wget --no-check-certificate -O keras-elcorenn-1.0.0.tar.gz \
   https://box.elvees.com/index.php/s/elcorenn-converters/download?files=keras-elcorenn-1.0.0.tar.gz
   

2. Activate virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv env
   source ./env/bin/activate
   

3. Installation from archive:

   pip install keras-elcorenn-1.0.0.tar.gz
   

4. Convert model:

   python -m keras2elcorenn.convert --keras-model=<path-to-keras-model>
   

   To see more options run:

   python -m keras2elcorenn.convert --help
   

onnx-elcorenn

onnx-elcorenn is a Python library that converts a model from ONNX to ElcoreNN.

Requirements:

• python version >= 3.6

1. Download onnx-elcorenn archive and extract [see Release notes to choose version]:

   wget --no-check-certificate -O onnxparser-[version].tar.gz \
   https://box.elvees.com/index.php/s/elcorenn-converters/download?files=onnxparser-[version].tar.gz
   tar xfv onnxparser-[version].tar.gz
   

2. Install requirements (it is recommended to use a virtual environment):

   cd onnxparser-[version]
   python3 -m venv env
   source ./env/bin/activate
   pip install --upgrade pip
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Put your onnx model to onnx_models folder.

4. Run converter:

   python onnx_converter.py -n <model-name.onnx> -at
   

   Converter will write result to json_models/<model-name>.onnx folder.

   To see more options run:

   python onnx_converter.py --help
   

   or see README.md file.
