Self-Created Tools to convert ONNX files (NCHW) to TensorFlow format (NHWC). The purpose of this tool is to solve the massive Transpose extrapolation problem in onnx-tensorflow (onnx-tf).

Key concept

• onnx-tensorflow is a very useful tool, but the performance of the generated TensorFlow models is significantly degraded due to the extrapolation of a large number of Transpose OPs before and after each OP during the format conversion from NCHW to NHWC. Therefore, I will make this tool myself as a derivative tool of onnx-tensorflow without extrapolating Transpose.
• Most of the internal processing of the tool is full-scratch, but some of the more complex OPs have been adapted from onnx-tensorflow. I am very grateful to the engineers at International Business Machines Corporation / LeapMind / Microsoft for developing onnx-tensorflow.
• Not only does it handle conversions of 4-dimensional inputs, such as NCHW to NHWC, but also the number of input dimensions in 3, 5, or even more dimensions. For example, NCDHW to NDHWC, etc. However, since 1-D, 2-D, 3-D and 6-D input may produce patterns that are mechanically difficult to convert, it should be possible to give parameters to externally modify the tool's behavior.
• If there are undefined dimensions in the input OP, the model structure is not fully optimized and conversion errors are very likely to occur.
• Immediately following a Reshape OP with dimensional compression and dimensional decompression, there is a 95% probability that the model transformation operation will be disrupted and errors will occur. For example, patterns such as [1,200,200,5] -> [1,200,-1] or [10,20,30,40,50] -> [10,2,10,30,10,4,50].
• TensorFlow's Convolution does not have an equivalent operation to ONNX's Padding operation. Therefore, a Pad OP is inserted immediately before a Convolution with Padding of size greater than 1.
• Support conversion to TensorFlow saved model and TFLite (Float32/Float16).
• Does not support quantization to INT8. For quantization, use the official TensorFlow converter to convert from saved_model to your own.
• Files exceeding the Protocol Buffers file size limit of 2GB are not supported. Therefore, the external format is not supported at the initial stage of tool creation.
• If there are ONNX OPs that are not supported by TensorFlow, use simple-onnx-processing-tools to replace them with harmless OPs in advance and then use this tool to convert them. In other words, you can convert any model with your efforts.
• BatchNormalization supports only inference mode.
• Only for opset=11 or higher
• If you do not like the generated TFLite OP name, edit it using tflite2json2tflite.
• The generated Keras models cannot be used for retraining. If you want to train, you must build your own model.
• Implement the Resize process for the 5D tensor.
• Add process to replace Asin with pseudo-Asin.
• Add process to replace Acos with pseudo-Acos.
• Add process to replace GatherND with pseudo-GatherND.
• Add process to replace HardSwish with pseudo-HardSwish.
• Add process to replace GridSample with pseudo-GridSample.
• Add process to replace LeakyRelu with pseudo-LeakyRelu.
• Added option to fix dynamic batch size N to a specified number.
• Add output shape estimation functionality for Resize OP in the dynamic batch shape model.

[WIP] Parameter replacement

This tool is used to convert NCW to NWC, NCHW to NHWC, NCDHW to NDHWC, NCDDHW to NDDHWC, NCDDDDDDHW to NDDDDDDHWC. Therefore, as stated in the Key Concepts, the conversion will inevitably break down at some point in the model. You need to look at the entire conversion log to see which OP transpositions are failing and correct them yourself. I dare to explain very little because I know that no matter how much detail I put in the README, you guys will not read it at all.

"A conversion error occurs." Please don't post such low level questions as issues.
