Installation and Usage of the Paddle2ONNX Plugin

The Paddle2ONNX plugin for PaddleX provides the ability to convert PaddlePaddle static models to ONNX format models, leveraging the underlying Paddle2ONNX.

1. Installation

# Windows users need to use the following command to install the dev version of paddlepaddle
# python -m pip install --pre paddlepaddle -i https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/nightly/cpu/

# Install Paddle2ONNX plugin
paddlex --install paddle2onnx

2. Usage

2.1 Parameter Introduction

Parameter	Type	Description
paddle_model_dir	str	Directory containing the Paddle model.
onnx_model_dir	str	Output directory for the ONNX model, which can be the same as the Paddle model directory. Defaults to onnx.
opset_version	int	The ONNX opset version to use. If a lower-version opset cannot complete the conversion, a higher-version opset will be automatically selected for the conversion. Defaults to 7.

2.2 Usage Method

Usage:

paddlex \
    --paddle2onnx \  # Use the paddle2onnx function
    --paddle_model_dir /your/paddle_model/dir \  # Specify the directory where the Paddle model is located
    --onnx_model_dir /your/onnx_model/output/dir \  # Specify the output directory for the converted ONNX model
    --opset_version 7  # Specify the ONNX opset version to use

Taking the ResNet18 model from the image_classification module as an example:

paddlex \
    --paddle2onnx \
    --paddle_model_dir ./ResNet18 \
    --onnx_model_dir ./ResNet18 \
