On Optimizing MobileDet for Mobile Deployments

[Sayak Paul]

Hi folks,

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to you about a recent article that focuses on the criticalities of effectively optimizing MobileDet object detectors for mobile deployments. It includes thorough benchmarking and a number of different non-trivial strategies needed to properly quantize the pre-trained MobileDet checkpoints to TensorFlow Lite. I hope by the end of the blog post you'll be convinced that it's not just yet another post on model conversion :D

Immense thanks to @Khanh LeViet for all the guidance he provided throughout the development of the post.
