How to convert .ckpt to .pb?

Question

I am new to deep learning and I want to use a pretrained (EAST) model to serve from the AI Platform Serving, I have these files made available by the developer:

Answer 1

If you specify INPUT_TYPE as image_tensor and PIPELINE_CONFIG_PATH as your config file with this command.

python object_detection/export_inference_graph.py \
--input_type=${INPUT_TYPE} \
--pipeline_config_path=${PIPELINE_CONFIG_PATH} \
--trained_checkpoint_prefix=${TRAINED_CKPT_PREFIX} \
--output_directory=${EXPORT_DIR}

you can get your model in 3 formats in your export dir;

• frozen_graph.pb
• savedmodel.pb
• checkpoint
