Tensorflow Object Detection with Tensorflow 2

This repo was forked from Gilbert Tanner and adds some minor changes to go with my YouTube tutorial series.

How to Install Tensorflow 2 Object Detection:

Tensorflow 2 Object Detection on Webcam and Videos:

Tensorflow 2 Custom Object Detection Model

Count Objects with Tensorflow 2 Object Detection:

Some commands used:

Note: You will probably need to update path names and model names in these commands to match your own environment

Generate TF records

python generate_tfrecord.py --csv_input=images/test_labels.csv --image_dir=images/test --output_path=test.record
python generate_tfrecord.py --csv_input=images/train_labels.csv --image_dir=images/train --output_path=train.record

Start training

python model_main_tf2.py --pipeline_config_path==ssd_efficientdet_d0_512x512_coco17_tpu-8.config --model_dir==training --alsologtostderr

Export graph

python exporter_main_v2.py --trained_checkpoint_dir=training --pipeline_config_path=ssd_efficientdet_d0_512x512_coco17_tpu-8.config --output_directory inference_graph

Potential future work:

• Extraction of objects detected
• Recording position data of detections
• Robot or physical device that uses results of detection (i.e. robot arm)
• Leave suggestions of other things you'd like to see!
