How to Install Tensorflow 2 Object Detection

Its finally here! Welcome to my tutorial for installing and setting up Tensorflow 2 Object Detection! This tutorial goes over how to install Tensorflow 2 and get object detection up and running. I try to cover as many possible errors you may find when trying to do this yourself so that you can skip the headaches and get right to object detecting!

Common Tensorflow 2 fixes:
"protoc not found" - make sure you add protoc to path and also do "conda install protobuf"
"numpy not found" - make sure to do "conda install numpy"

Thank you so much! I spent so much time following different turorials but none worked but thankfully this one did. You're a life saver!

[KenuraTech]

Worked for me. Initially I faced some issues with the python version and protobuf. But after some version changing according to what is in video, all worked fine. Thank you for your detailed explanations through the video.

Thank you for making this straight forward. This may be the only tutorial that i don't get a single error.

I get the following error when I run "python -m pip install ." after copying the set up file.
Pls help :(
"AttributeError: cython_sources"

Edit: had to do the following to solve the issue
pip install "Cython<3"
pip install pyyaml==5.4.1 --no-cache-dir --no-build-isolation
pip install docker-compose

Hello, great tutorial! I'm stuck at the part of 24:28.

The errors:
1. can't open file
2. [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Any thoughts on this? Thank you.

hey, I actually loved your video and your effort. But I think it'll be better for us if you maintain larger font size & all. Thanks in advance : )

[divyamadineni]

[muhammadzulnaim]

I have installed VS C++ libraries, installed procom and compiled using procom. Still getting "no module named object_detection" using tensorflow 1.13.1

[Putt-Putt]

Thank you so much. Now could you help me direct to the next step where I can custom train my own dataset?

Instead of detecting dogs, people and kites, how can I instead detect what I want to detect? Like my boxes or pencils?

thanks for everything, but i did not find any images in the output folder after executing command, what can be the possible cause ?
