Tensorflow object detection API:Sample program not working as expected

Question

I am running sample program which comes packaged with Tensorflow object detection API(object_detection_tutorial.ipynb). Program runs fine with no error, but bounding boxes are not diaplayed at all.

My environment is as follows:

Windows 10

Python 3.6.3

What can be the reason?

With regards

Manish

Answer 1

Please try updated SSD models in the detection zoo : https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/g3doc/detection_model_zoo.md. This should be fixed.

Answer 2

It seems that the latest version of the model ssd_mobilenet_v1_coco_2017_11_08 doesn't work and outputs abnormally low value. Replacing it in the Jupyter Notebook with an older version of the model works fine for me:

# What model to download.
MODEL_NAME = 'ssd_mobilenet_v1_coco_11_06_2017'
