Resolving Permission Denied Errors When Converting TensorFlow to OpenVINO

When working with deep learning frameworks, it’s not uncommon to run into roadblocks. One such challenge arises when attempting to convert a TensorFlow Faster R-CNN model into the OpenVINO framework, leading to frustrating permission-related errors. This guide will outline the problem and provide two practical solutions to overcome the issue of permission denied errors during the conversion process.

The Challenge: Internal Error When Converting Models

For those using Intel’s OpenVINO toolkit, specifically with Windows 10, the conversion process can sometimes throw unexpected errors. In particular, users have reported an internal error indicating permission issues when attempting to save a .bin file. Here’s the critical error message that commonly appears:

This error suggests that your current directory lacks the required permissions for writing new files. Solutions do exist, and below are two straightforward methods to resolve this issue.

Solution 1: Run Command Prompt as Administrator

One effective approach to overcome permission issues is to elevate your command prompt privileges. By running the command prompt as an Administrator, you'll gain access to directories that normally require higher-level permissions. Here’s how to do it:

Open the Start Menu: Click on the Windows icon in the lower-left corner of your screen.

Search for 'cmd' or 'Command Prompt': Type “cmd” in the search bar.

Run as Administrator: Right-click on the Command Prompt and select “Run as administrator.”

Execute the Conversion Command: Navigate to the directory containing your TensorFlow model and attempt the conversion again.

This process might grant you the permissions necessary to proceed without encountering the error.

Solution 2: Change the Working Directory

If running as an administrator doesn’t feel ideal or if you prefer a workaround without altering command prompt permissions, you can simply change the directory to a location that doesn’t require elevated permissions. For example, a user-specific location like the desktop is often a suitable choice:

Select a New Directory: For instance, change your working directory to C:\Users\your-username\Desktop.

Perform the Conversion Again: Move your TensorFlow model files to this directory and try to convert again from there.

Using user-friendly directories generally leads to fewer restrictions, allowing you to navigate the conversion process more smoothly.

Conclusion

While converting your TensorFlow Faster R-CNN model to OpenVINO, running into permission denied errors can be a significant annoyance. However, by following either of the two solutions presented above, you can successfully navigate around these hurdles and focus on deploying your model on the Intel Neural Compute Stick v2. Embrace these handy tips, and continue enhancing your machine learning projects without delays!
