Purpose

Provide a way of exporting and importing pre-verified graphs or other objects, in vendor-specific formats.

Use Case

• Embedded systems using fixed graphs, to minimise the amount of code required.
• Safety-critical systems where the OpenVX library does not have a node API.
• CNN extensions which require the ability to import binary objects.
