Tensorflow Object Detection API on Windows - error “ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'utils'”

Question

I\'m attempting to get the TensorFlow Object Detection API

working on Windows by f

Answer 1

Make sure you have a __init__.py file in your research/object_detection/protos folder! The __init__.py file is empty but needs to exist for the protos module to be created correctly.

Answer 2

As mentioned in the comment, utils is a submodule so you actually need to add object_detection to PYTHONPATH, not object_detection/utils.

I'm glad it worked for you.

Answer 3

cd Research/Object_Detection

cd ..

Research

1. export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

RESEARCH

2. git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git

RESEARCH

3.export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:pwd:pwd/slim

4.protoc object_detection/protos/string_int_label_map.proto --python_out=.

CD OBJECT_DETECTION

5. protoc protos/string_int_label_map.proto --python_out=.

6.jupyter notebook

Answer 4

The following command does not work on Windows:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`pwd`:`pwd`/slim

Instead, I followed the directions of this tutorial, which recommends setting the path variables for three different directories manually. I simply added a path for the utils directory as well. So far it has worked without error.
