Unable to Find the .XML and .Bin Files for Intel’s Pre-Trained Models

• Found model.yml and .prototext files in model directory.
• Could not find .xml and .bin files.

The .xml and .bin files are generated after downloading and converting models using Open Model Zoo tools.

1. Initialize the OpenVINO™ environment:

   • Classic OpenVINO installation: <path_to_openvino>\bin\setupvars.bat
   • oneAPI-based installation: <path_to_oneapi>\setvars.bat

2. Download the model using Open Model Zoo Model Downloader:

   omz_downloader --name <model_name>
   

3. Convert the model to OpenVINO™ Intermediate Representation (IR) format:

   omz_converter --name <model_name>
   

4. After download and conversion, the .xml and .bin files will be created in the following locations:

   Intel pre-trained models:

   <openvino_install_path>\models\intel\<model_name>\
   

   Subfolders such as FP16, FP16-INT8, and FP32 contain the corresponding .xml and .bin files.

   Public pre-trained models:

   <openvino_install_path>\models\public\<model_name>\

For detailed usage and options of Open Model Zoo tools, refer to Model Downloader and other automation tools in the OpenVINO™ documentation.
