Root Cause

Input tensor channel order doesnt match model expectation.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Set tf.keras.backend.set_image_data_format() to match model
  2. 88% success Use tf.transpose to convert: NHWC <-> NCHW

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Transpose all inputs blindly 78% fail

    Wrong axis for non-image data

  2. Set global data_format without checking model 82% fail

    Breaks pretrained weights
