// TFLite metadata contains both human readable and machine readable information
// about what the model does and how to use the model. It can be used as a
// README file, which elaborates the details of the model, each input/ouput
// tensor, and each associated file.
//
// An important use case of TFLite metadata is the TFLite codegen tool, which
// automatically generates the model interface based on the properties of the
// model and the tensors. The model interface provides high-level APIs to
// interact with the model, such as preprocessing the input data and running
// inferences.
//
// Entries marked with "<Codegen usage>" are used in TFLite codegen tool to
// generate the model interface. It is recommended to fill in at least those
// enties to boost the codegen performance.

// The Metadata schema is versioned by the Semantic versioning number, such as
// MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. It tracks the schema changes according to the rules below:
//  * Bump up the MAJOR number when making potentially backwards incompatible
//    changes. It must be incremented if the new changes break the backwards
//    compatibility. It may also include minor and patch level changes as
//    needed. The true backwards compatibility is indicated by the file
//    identifier.
//  * Bump up the MINOR number when making backwards compatible updates for
//    major features, such as supporting new content types or adding new
//    processing units.
//  * Bump up the PATCH number when making small backwards compatible changes,
//    such as adding a new fields or deprecating certain fields (not deleting
//    them).
//
// ModelMetadata.min_parser_version indicates the minimum necessary metadata
// parser version to fully understand all fields in a given metadata flatbuffer.
//
// New fields and types will have associated comments with the schema version
// for which they were added.
//
// LINT.IfChange
// Schema Semantic version: 1.5.0
// LINT.ThenChange(//tensorflow_lite_support/\
//     metadata/java/src/java/org/tensorflow/lite/support/metadata/\

// This indicates the flatbuffer compatibility. The number will bump up when a
// break change is applied to the schema, such as removing fields or adding new
// fields to the middle of a table.

  // Case 1: The tensor is a single object, such as an image.
  // For example, the input of an image classifier
  // (https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/models/image_classification/overview),
  // a tensor of shape [1, 224, 224, 3]. Dimensions 1 to 3 correspond to the
  // image. Since dimension 0 is a batch axis, which can be ignored,
  // "range" can be left as NULL.
  //
  // Case 2: The tensor contains multiple instances of the same object.
  // For example, the output tensor of detected bounding boxes of an object
  // detection model
  // (https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/models/object_detection/overview).
  // The tensor shape is [1, 10, 4]. Here is the what the three dimensions
  // represent for:
  // dimension 0: the batch axis.
  // dimension 1: the 10 objects detected with the highest confidence.
  // dimension 2: the bounding boxes of the 10 detected objects.
  // The tensor is essentially 10 bounding boxes. In this case,
  // "range" should be {min=2; max=2;}.
  //
  // The output tensor of scores of the above object detection model has shape
  // [1, 10], where
  // dimension 0: the batch axis;
  // dimension 1: the scores of the 10 detected objects.
  // Set "range" to the number of dimensions which is {min=2; max=2;} to denote
  // that every element in the tensor is an individual content object, i.e. a
  // score in this example.
  //
  // Another example is the pose estimation model
  // (https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/models/pose_estimation/overview).
  // The output tensor of heatmaps is in the shape of [1, 9, 9, 17].
  // Here is the what the four dimensions represent for:
  // dimension 0: the batch axis.
  // dimension 1/2: the heatmap image.
  // dimension 3: 17 body parts of a person.
  // Even though the last axis is body part, the real content of this tensor is
  // the heatmap. "range" should be [min=1; max=2].
  //
  // Case 3: The tensor contains multiple different objects. (Not supported by
  // Content at this point).
  // Sometimes a tensor may contain multiple different objects, thus different
  // contents. It is very common for regression models. For example, a model
  // to predict the fuel efficiency
  // (https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/keras/regression).
  // The input tensor has shape [1, 9], consisting of 9 features, such as
  // "Cylinders", "Displacement", "Weight", etc. In this case, dimension 1
  // contains 9 different contents. However, since these sub-dimension objects
  // barely need to be specifically processed, their contents are not recorded
  // in the metadata. Through, the name of each dimension can be set through
  // TensorMetadata.dimension_names.
  //
  // Note that if it is not case 3, a tensor can only have one content type.
  //
  // <Codegen usage>:
  // Case 1: return a processed single object of certain content type.
  // Case 2: return a list of processed objects of certain content type. The
  // generated model interface have API to random access those objects from
  // the output.
