Error message
translations rank must be statically known
What it means
Error "translations rank must be statically known" thrown in tensorflow/models.
Source
Thrown at official/vision/ops/augment.py:305
[0 0 1]]
Args:
translations: The 2-element list representing [dx, dy], or a matrix of
2-element lists representing [dx dy] to translate for each image. The
shape must be static.
Returns:
The transformation matrix of shape (num_images, 8).
Raises:
`TypeError` if
- the shape of `translations` is not known or
- the shape of `translations` is not rank 1 or 2.

Solutions
- Provide translations with a statically known rank (reshape with a fixed shape).
- Avoid passing tensors with unknown rank; use tf.ensure_shape or a fixed-shape placeholder.
