Error: while running the Model Optimizer on the pretrained Caffe* model in Intel OpenVINO

Question

while running the Model Optimizer on the pretrained Caffe* model in Intel OpenVINO The "/opt/intel/openvino/deployment_tools/open_model_zoo/tools/downloader/public/mobilenet-ssd/mobilenet-ssd.caffemodel" is not existing file

Answer 1

Message clearly states that model is not present. You need to download it.

• Clone this OpenVINO modelzoo.
• Go to tools/downloader.
• Install the dependencies.

python3 -mpip install --user -r ./requirements.in

• Download mobilenet-ssd model to the desired path.

./downloader.py --name mobilenet-ssd --output_dir /opt/intel/openvino/deployment_tools/open_model_zoo/tools/downloader/public/mobilenet-ssd/

Note: It downloads the model using these files. Refer this for details.
