Introduction to Model Processing

Every deep learning workflow begins with obtaining a model. You can choose to prepare a custom one, use a ready-made solution and adjust it to your needs, or even download and run a pre-trained network from an online database, such as OpenVINO's Open Model Zoo.

This section describes how to obtain and prepare your model for work with OpenVINO to get the best inference results:

• Browse a database of models for use in your projects.
• Convert different model formats to the OpenVINO IR format.
• Automate model-related tasks with Model Downloader and additional OMZ Tools.
