Food detection using Tensorflow Object Detection API

[Instructions are adapted from https://github.com/wagonhelm/TF_ObjectDetection_API/blob/master/README.md ] [Follow my blogpost for step by step instructions - https://blog.goodaudience.com/food-detection-app-using-tensorflow-object-detection-apis-1b9302a9aad2 ]

Required Packages [system requirements]

• TensorFlow v1.3
• Jupyter
• NumPy
• Scipy
• Matplotlib
• Scikit-Image
• Pandas
• lxml
• protobuf

1. Install system requirements

sudo apt-get install -y git-core wget protobuf-compiler 

2. Download and unzip this entire repo from GitHub, either interactively, or by entering

git clone https://github.com/kumarkan/Food_Detection.git

3. Install Python Requirement. Make use of requirements.txt file

cd Food_Detection
# Requires sudo if not in a virtual environment
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install tensorflow jupyter

4. Clone TensorFlow Models Into Repository Directory and Install Object Detection API

cd Food_Detection
git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git

You will have to run this command every time you close your terminal unless you add the the path to slim to your .bashrc file

cd models/research/
protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`pwd`:`pwd`/slim
cd ..
cd ..

Note: If you're getting errors while compiling, you might be using an incompatible protobuf compiler. If that's the case, use the following manual installation

Manual protobuf-compiler installation and usage
Download and install the 3.0 release of protoc, then unzip the file.

From tensorflow/models/research/ --> 
wget -O protobuf.zip https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v3.0.0/protoc-3.0.0-linux-x86_64.zip
unzip protobuf.zip
Run the compilation process again, but use the downloaded version of protoc

From tensorflow/models/research/ -->
./bin/protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.

4. Launch Jupyter

jupyter notebook

5. Launch Tensorboard In New Terminal

tensorboard --logdir='data'

Once both jupyter and tensorboard are running, using your browser, navigate to the URLs shown in the terminal output if those don't work try http://localhost:8888/ for Jupyter Notebook and http://localhost:6006/ for Tensorboard.
