How can i Export YOLO v5 Model in keras .h5 format ?

[Swapnil099]

actually i have trained Yolo v5 model on custom dataset & now i want to use it into java for further development. How can i do so ..
I am using DL4J java library to import DL model but DL4j can only import Keras Models .. so how can convert YOLO v5 Pytorch model into Keras .. is there any way around to use pytorch model into java. plz suggest any lead.

thank you for reply .. but there is no info for exporting yolo5 model to keras

@Swapnil099 Did you figure anything out? We are also looking to run YOLOv5 in deeplearning4j (DL4J).

[Swapnil099]

@calvertdw unfortunately I did not found any way to run YOLOV5 exported models on DL4J so we have used DeepJavaLibrary by amazon to run YOLO5 model in java and got expected results.
Open source repo link about "importing YOLOv5 into java using DJL" in case you want to use it -

Hi @Swapnil099,

did you finally get the h5 format?

I followed these steps:

1. I saved it as a saved_model.
2. I loaded it using tf.keras.models.load_model
3. When I try to save it using tf.keras.models.save_model() I get:

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/keras/utils/traceback_utils.py", line 67, in error_handler
    raise e.with_traceback(filtered_tb) from None
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/keras/saving/saved_model/load.py", line 1071, in get_config
    raise NotImplementedError
NotImplementedError

I am using the Docker image yolov5:6.2-cpu

Thanks in advance

👋 Hello! Thanks for asking about Export Formats. YOLOv5 🚀 offers export to almost all of the common export formats. See our TFLite, ONNX, CoreML, TensorRT Export Tutorial for full details.

Formats

YOLOv5 inference is officially supported in 11 formats:

💡 ProTip: Export to ONNX or OpenVINO for up to 3x CPU speedup. See CPU Benchmarks.
💡 ProTip: Export to TensorRT for up to 5x GPU speedup. See GPU Benchmarks.

Format	export.py --include	Model
PyTorch	-	yolov5s.pt
TorchScript	torchscript	yolov5s.torchscript
ONNX	onnx	yolov5s.onnx
OpenVINO	openvino	yolov5s_openvino_model/
TensorRT	engine	yolov5s.engine
CoreML	coreml	yolov5s.mlmodel
TensorFlow SavedModel	saved_model	yolov5s_saved_model/
TensorFlow GraphDef	pb	yolov5s.pb
TensorFlow Lite	tflite	yolov5s.tflite
TensorFlow Edge TPU	edgetpu	yolov5s_edgetpu.tflite
TensorFlow.js	tfjs	yolov5s_web_model/
PaddlePaddle	paddle	yolov5s_paddle_model/

Export a Trained YOLOv5 Model

This command exports a pretrained YOLOv5s model to TorchScript and ONNX formats. yolov5s.pt is the 'small' model, the second smallest model available. Other options are yolov5n.pt, yolov5m.pt, yolov5l.pt and yolov5x.pt, along with their P6 counterparts i.e. yolov5s6.pt or you own custom training checkpoint i.e. runs/exp/weights/best.pt. For details on all available models please see our README table.

python export.py --weights yolov5s.pt --include torchscript onnx

💡 ProTip: Add --half to export models at FP16 half precision for smaller file sizes

Output:

export: data=data/coco128.yaml, weights=['yolov5s.pt'], imgsz=[640, 640], batch_size=1, device=cpu, half=False, inplace=False, train=False, keras=False, optimize=False, int8=False, dynamic=False, simplify=False, opset=12, verbose=False, workspace=4, nms=False, agnostic_nms=False, topk_per_class=100, topk_all=100, iou_thres=0.45, conf_thres=0.25, include=['torchscript', 'onnx']

I am having a similar problem I understand that tensorflow is now making h5 a legacy format. But I found this github account today and am going to try to use this as a bridge to convert to a .h5 format https://github.com/qqwweee/keras-yolo3/blob/master/convert.py
