Method: projects.locations.models.export

Exports a trained, "export-able", model to a user specified Google Cloud Storage location. A model is considered export-able if and only if it has an export format defined for it in

ModelExportOutputConfig.

Returns an empty response in the response field when it completes.

}
Fields
modelFormat

string

The format in which the model must be exported. The available, and default, formats depend on the problem and model type (if given problem and type combination doesn't have a format listed, it means its models are not exportable):

  • For Image Classification mobile-low-latency-1, mobile-versatile-1, mobile-high-accuracy-1: "tflite" (default), "edgetpu_tflite", "tf_saved_model", "tf_js", "docker".

  • For Image Classification mobile-core-ml-low-latency-1, mobile-core-ml-versatile-1, mobile-core-ml-high-accuracy-1: "core_ml" (default). Formats description:

  • tflite - Used for Android mobile devices.

  • edgetpu_tflite - Used for Edge TPU devices.
  • tf_saved_model - A tensorflow model in SavedModel format.
  • tf_js - A TensorFlow.js model that can be used in the browser and in Node.js using JavaScript.
  • docker - Used for Docker containers. Use the params field to customize the container. The container is verified to work correctly on ubuntu 16.04 operating system. See more at [containers

quickstart](https: //cloud.google.com/vision/automl/docs/containers-gcs-quickstart) * core_ml - Used for iOS mobile devices.
params

map (key: string, value: string)

Additional model-type and format specific parameters describing the requirements for the to be exported model files, any string must be up to 25000 characters long.

  • For docker format: cpu_architecture - (string) "x86_64" (default). gpu_architecture - (string) "none" (default), "nvidia".
Union field destination. Required. The destination of the output. destination can be only one of the following:
gcsDestination

object (GcsDestination)

The Google Cloud Storage location where the model is to be written to. This location may only be set for the following model formats: "tflite", "edgetpu_tflite", "tf_saved_model", "tf_js", "core_ml".

Under the directory given as the destination a new one with name "model-export--", where timestamp is in YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ ISO-8601 format, will be created. Inside the model and any of its supporting files will be written.
gcrDestination

object (GcrDestination)

The GCR location where model image is to be pushed to. This location may only be set for the following model formats: "docker".

The model image will be created under the given URI.

GcrDestination

The GCR location where the image must be pushed to.

JSON representation 
{
  "outputUri": string
}
Fields
outputUri

string

Required. Google Contained Registry URI of the new image, up to 2000 characters long. See
