I'm looking to deploy a pre-trained model for real-time pedestrian and/or vehicle detection using the AWS Sagemaker workflow, I particularly want to use Sagemaker Neo to compile the model and deploy it on the edge. I want to use one of OpenVino's prebuilt models from their model zoo, but when I download the model it is already in their Intermediate Representation (IR) format for their own optimizer.
Is there a way to get an OpenVino pre-trained model not in IR format so that I can use it in sagemaker? Or any possible way to containerize the OpenVino model for use in sagemaker?
If not, are there any free pre-trained models (using any of the popular frameworks like pytorch, tensorflow, ONXX, etc.) that I can use for vehicle detection from a traffic camera POV? AWS Marketplace does not seem to have much to offer in this regard.
