i want to define perceptual_loss in autoencoder that build in keras.
my autoencoder is look like this :

Encoder:

input_encoder = Input((32,32,3),name = 'encoder_input')
encoder = Conv2D(16,(3,3),activation = 'relu',name = 'encoder_layer1')(input_encoder)
encoder = Flatten(name = 'encoder_layer2')(encoder)
latent_encoding = Dense(128 , activation = 'relu', name = 'encoder_layer3')(encoder)

Encoder = Model(inputs= [input_encoder], outputs=[latent_encoding],name = 'Encoder')

Decoder :

input_decoder = Input(128,name = 'decoder_input')
decoder = Reshape((1, 1, 128),name = 'decoder_layer1')(input_decoder)
decoder = Conv2DTranspose(64, (2,2), activation='relu' , name = 'decoder_layer2')(decoder)
decoder = UpSampling2D(8 ,name = 'decoder_layer3')(decoder)
decoder = Conv2DTranspose(3, (9,9), activation='relu' , name = 'decoder_layer2')(decoder)

Decoder = Model(inputs= [input_decoder], outputs=[decoder ],name = 'Decoder')

AutoEncoder :

input = Input((32,32,3),name = 'input')
latent = Encoder(input)
output = Decoder(latent)
AE = Model(inputs= [input], outputs=[output ],name = 'AE')

now i define new loss function perceptual_loss with pretrain vgg19 like this i get input image and reconstruct image to pre-train vgg19 and get result from some layer of vgg19 and then i use subtract of two vectors as error of that layer in vgg19 and then i use weighted sum of layer’s error to calculate total error :

selected_layers = ['block1_conv1', 'block2_conv2',"block3_conv3" ,'block4_conv3','block5_conv4']
selected_layer_weights = [1.0, 4.0 , 4.0 , 8.0 , 16.0]

def perceptual_loss(input_image , reconstruct_image):
    vgg = VGG19(weights='imagenet', include_top=False, input_shape=(32,32,3))
    vgg.trainable = False

    outputs = [vgg.get_layer(l).output for l in selected_layers]
    model = Model(vgg.input, outputs)

    h1_list = model(input_image)
    h2_list = model(reconstruct_image)

    rc_loss = 0.0

    for h1, h2, weight in zip(h1_list, h2_list, selected_layer_weights):
        h1 = K.batch_flatten(h1)
        h2 = K.batch_flatten(h2)
        rc_loss = rc_loss + weight * K.sum(K.square(h1 - h2), axis=-1)

    return rc_loss

and then i compile AE:

rmsprop = RMSprop(learning_rate=0.00025)
AE.compile(loss= perceptual_loss, optimizer= rmsprop)

but when i want fit AE:

history = AE.fit(train_images, train_images,
                          epochs= 2,
                          verbose=1)

i get error

ValueError: tf.function-decorated function tried to create variables on non-first call.

please help me . thank you

update :

i update the loss function by answer of @Mr. For Example but i get new error :
now i have loss function :

update 2

as @Navid said i add @tf.function before my loss function and the error is gone!
