Tensorflow-simple-object-detection

A simple image-based object detection tensorflow app in Python Originally forked from here.

Instructions:

Install Python

In my case, I have installed Python 3.6.2 via Anaconda. If you want to do that (which I recommend), download the corresponding installer from Anaconda's website.

Download Tensorflow

Select your OS and install Tensorflow following the installation guide. I have installed the Ubuntu TensorFlow with CPU support via pip install.

Download object_detection and put it in the tensorflow installation dir

The object_detection module from Tensorflow is not installed by default. You should download it from the Tensorflow Github repo and place it in the Tensorflow home directory. Clone or download this repo, extract the object_detection folder, and place ir in <PATH_TO_YOUR_TF>/models.

If you're wondering where your Tensorflow installation is, try this (if you've installed it via pip):

pip show tensorflow

To make object_detection libs available, do this in Python:

import sys
sys.path.append('<PATH_TO_TENSORFLOW>/models')
sys.path.append('<PATH_TO_TENSORFLOW>/models/slim')
from object_detection.utils import label_map_util 
from object_detection.utils import visualization_utils as vis_util

If you installed Python through Anaconda, the <PATH_TO_TENSORFLOW> will look like /home/<YOUR_USER>/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tensorflow.

Install dependencies

Make sure that you have downloaded moviepy and ffmpeg for image processing.

pip install moviepy

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

Run

python tf_simple_object_detection.py
