How to configure MXNet launcher

For enabling MXNet launcher you need to add framework: mxnet in launchers section of your configuration file and provide following parameters:

• device - specifies which device will be used for infer (cpu, gpu_0 and so on).
• model- path to params file specifying the numeric arrays used in the network.
• adapter - approach how raw output will be converted to representation of dataset problem, some adapters can be specific to framework. You can find detailed instruction how to use adapters here.

You also should specify all inputs for your model and provide their shapes, using specific parameter: inputs. Each input description should has following info:

• name - input layer name in network
• type - type of input values, it has impact on filling policy. Available options:
• CONST_INPUT - input will be filled using constant provided in config. It also requires to provide value.
• IMAGE_INFO - specific key for setting information about input shape to layer (used in Faster RCNN based topologies). You do not need provide value, because it will be calculated in runtime. Format value is Nx[H, W, S], where N is batch size, H - original image height, W - original image width, S - scale of original image (default 1).
• ORIG_IMAGE_INFO - specific key for setting information about original image size before preprocessing.
• IGNORE_INPUT - input which should be stayed empty during evaluation.
• INPUT - network input for main data stream (e. g. images). If you have several data inputs, you should provide regular expression for identifier as value for specifying which one data should be provided in specific input.
• shape - shape of input layer described as comma-separated of all dimensions size except batch size. Optionally you can determine layout in case when your model was trained with non-standard data layout (For MXNet default layout is NCHW) and precision (Supported precisions: FP32 - float, FP16 - signed shot, U8 - unsigned char, U16 - unsigned short int, I8 - signed char, I16 - short int, I32 - int, I64 - long int). You also can specify batch size for your model using batch.

MXNet launcher config example:

launchers:
- framework: mxnet
device: CPU
model: path_to_model/alexnet-0000.params
inputs:
- name: 'input'
type: INPUT
shape: 3, 32, 32
