TfLiteTensor Struct Reference

# TfLiteTensor

`#include <common.h>`

A tensor in the interpreter system which is a wrapper around a buffer of data including a dimensionality (or NULL if not currently defined).

## Public attributes

### allocation

    const void * TfLiteTensor::allocation

An opaque pointer to a tflite::MMapAllocation.

### allocation_type

    TfLiteAllocationType TfLiteTensor::allocation_type

How memory is mapped kTfLiteMmapRo: Memory mapped read only.

i.e. weights kTfLiteArenaRw: Arena allocated read write memory (i.e. temporaries, outputs).

### buffer_handle

    TfLiteBufferHandle TfLiteTensor::buffer_handle

An integer buffer handle that can be handled by `delegate`.

The value is valid only when delegate is not null.

WARNING: This is an experimental interface that is subject to change.

### bytes

    size_t TfLiteTensor::bytes

The number of bytes required to store the data of this Tensor.

I.e. (bytes of each element) * dims[0] * ... * dims[n-1]. For example, if type is kTfLiteFloat32 and dims = {3, 2} then bytes = sizeof(float) * 3 * 2 = 4 * 3 * 2 = 24.

### data

    TfLitePtrUnion TfLiteTensor::data

A union of data pointers.

The appropriate type should be used for a typed tensor based on `type`.

### data_is_stale

    bool TfLiteTensor::data_is_stale

If the delegate uses its own buffer (e.g.

GPU memory), the delegate is responsible to set data_is_stale to true. `delegate->CopyFromBufferHandle` can be called to copy the data from delegate buffer.

WARNING: This is an experimental interface that is subject to change.

### delegate

    struct TfLiteDelegate * TfLiteTensor::delegate

The delegate which knows how to handle `buffer_handle`.

WARNING: This is an experimental interface that is subject to change.

### dims

    TfLiteIntArray * TfLiteTensor::dims

A pointer to a structure representing the dimensionality interpretation that the buffer should have.

NOTE: the product of elements of `dims` and the element datatype size should be equal to `bytes` below.

### dims_signature

    const TfLiteIntArray * TfLiteTensor::dims_signature

Optional.

Encodes shapes with unknown dimensions with -1. This field is only populated when unknown dimensions exist in a read-write tensor (i.e. an input or output tensor). (e.g. `dims` contains [1, 1, 1, 3] and `dims_signature` contains [1, -1, -1, 3]). If no unknown dimensions exist then `dims_signature` is either null, or set to an empty array. Note that this field only exists when TF_LITE_STATIC_MEMORY is not defined.

### is_variable

    bool TfLiteTensor::is_variable

True if the tensor is a variable.

### name

    const char * TfLiteTensor::name

Null-terminated name of this tensor.

### params

    TfLiteQuantizationParams TfLiteTensor::params

Quantization information.

### quantization

    TfLiteQuantization TfLiteTensor::quantization

Quantization information. Replaces params field above.

### sparsity

    TfLiteSparsity * TfLiteTensor::sparsity

Parameters used to encode a sparse tensor.

This is optional. The field is NULL if a tensor is dense.

WARNING: This is an experimental interface that is subject to change.

### type

    TfLiteType TfLiteTensor::type

The data type specification for data stored in `data`.

This affects what member of `data` union should be used.
