# OpenVINO Support

This tutorial is based on Linux systems like Ubuntu-18.04.

## Installation

It is recommended to create a virtual environment for the project.

1. Install [OpenVINO](https://docs.openvino.ai/2021.4/get_started.html). It is recommended to use the installer or install using pip.
   Installation example using [pip](https://pypi.org/project/openvino-dev/):

```bash
pip install openvino-dev
```

2. \*`Optional` If you want to use OpenVINO in SDK, you need install OpenVINO with [install_guides](https://docs.openvino.ai/2021.4/openvino_docs_install_guides_installing_openvino_linux.html#install-openvino).

3. Install MMDeploy following the [instructions](../01-how-to-build/build_from_source.md).

To work with models from [MMDetection](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection/blob/master/docs/get_started.md), you may need to install it additionally.

## Usage

Example:

```bash
python tools/deploy.py \
    configs/mmdet/detection/detection_openvino_static-300x300.py \
    /mmdetection_dir/mmdetection/configs/ssd/ssd300_coco.py \
    /tmp/snapshots/ssd300_coco_20210803_015428-d231a06e.pth \
    tests/data/tiger.jpeg \
    --work-dir ../deploy_result \
    --device cpu \
    --log-level INFO
```

Notes:

- Custom operations from OpenVINO use the domain `org.openvinotoolkit`.
- For faster work in OpenVINO in the Faster-RCNN, Mask-RCNN, Cascade-RCNN, Cascade-Mask-RCNN models
  the RoiAlign operation is replaced with the [ExperimentalDetectronROIFeatureExtractor](https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/openvino_docs_ops_detection_ExperimentalDetectronROIFeatureExtractor_6.html) operation in the ONNX graph.
- Models "VFNet" and "Faster R-CNN + DCN" use the custom "DeformableConv2D" operation.

## Deployment config

With the deployment config, you can specify additional options for the Model Optimizer.
To do this, add the necessary parameters to the `backend_config.mo_options` in the fields `args` (for parameters with values) and `flags` (for flags).

Example:

```python
backend_config = dict(
    mo_options=dict(
        args=dict({
            '--mean_values': [0, 0, 0],
            '--scale_values': [255, 255, 255],
            '--data_type': 'FP32',
        }),
        flags=['--disable_fusing'],
    )
)
```

Information about the possible parameters for the Model Optimizer can be found in the [documentation](https://docs.openvino.ai/latest/openvino_docs_MO_DG_prepare_model_convert_model_Converting_Model.html).

## Troubleshooting

- ImportError: libpython3.7m.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

  To resolve missing external dependency on Ubuntu\*, execute the following command:

  ```bash
  sudo apt-get install libpython3.7
  ```
