Nice! Are there plans to support MaskRCNN sometime in the future?

@prozor Maybe , I am not sure . You can try to convert it

I’m working on it, I will share if I make any progress. Right now, convertkeras complains about unknown layers so I am trying to figure out how to specify Mask_RCNN’s custom layers to it. I have managed to get the Acuitylib package so I will try to play with it directly instead of using compiled binaries like convertkeras. Why is the Acuitylib Python package not provided anywhere, but compiled into the convertkeras, convertensorflow, convertpytorch… binaries?

@prozor

Because this part is not open source, we don’t have source code either

But the source can be easily obtained from the binaries, no?
