Using TensorFlow Object Detection API on Windows 10

  1. Install TensorFlow 1.14 (not 2)
  2. Download https://github.com/tensorflow/models/ repository
  3. Add models/, models/research/, and models/research/slim/ to the PYTHONPATH variable.
  4. Install pycocotoolsfrom this clone (works with Windows): https://github.com/philferriere/cocoapi
  5. Follow installation guide from https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/g3doc/installation.md (Except the cocoapi part)
  6. Download https://github.com/EdjeElectronics/TensorFlow-Object-Detection-API-Tutorial-Train-Multiple-Objects-Windows-10 for inference script in webcam and TFRecord data generator script
  7. Mainly, try to follow this local training guide and fix the bug one by one by providing the requirements: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/g3doc/running_locally.md

There are 2 main concerns I have when following unofficial guide:

  1. I don't want to deviate much from the official TensorFlow object detection API documents.
  2. I don't want to meet with the difficulty, tedious, and buggy guide.
