unsupported layer type \"Abs\"\n",

I was running the python converter tool and got this error:

Downloading diff_images_simplified_openvino_2021.4_6shave.blob...

}

But from the OpenVINO documentation I can see that it is a supported layer:

Hi AdamPolak ,
You could try changing the abs in the model with something like this:

int abs(int v) { return v * ((v>0) - (v<0)); }

tensor.pow(2).pow(0.5)

Let me know if it solves the problem.

Thanks,
Jaka
