Inferencing custom model on NPU of IMX 8M Plus

We are trying to run MobileNet_v2 model trained on custom dataset for object detection. Generated 'saved_ model.pb' by using export_tflite_graph_tf2.py from TF2-ODAPI

Quantization is done using tflite converter (script attached) method with int8 data type. When the output quantized .tflite is inferenced on IMX 8M Plus  using libvx_delegate, it falls back to CPU.

The details of env/frameworks used:

1. Tensorflow : 2.10.0 

2. TF Lite : 2.10.0

3. Python: 3.8.10

Following combination of input, weight and output were tested:

1. uint8, int8, uint8

2. uint8, int8, float32

3. float32, int8, float32

We were not able to convert weights to uint8 data type as in this model (works with high FPS)

TF Lite runtime on IMX is 2.8.0

For test inferencing gstreamer pipeline from IMX Machine Learning guide is used.

Hi @abhishek_ml 

Refer the 10.1.2 Profiling on hardware accelerators in ML guide: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/IMX-MACHINE-LEARNING-UG.pdf
