Very clear video, and very helpful. Some (minor) suggestions - list clearly which versions you are using (I started with Tensorflow 2 because I started here and not your install vide and it didn't work, but everything worked fine when I used 1.15 -- I could have missed the warning though). Can you also upload your notes as a pdf? They are difficult to see in how you stream now. Plus it's nice to have a notes sheet. Also, maybe make your terminal fill at least half the screen (Windows/Super + left/right arrow) with at least 1-2 font sizes larger? Great video, though

Good work man, one question for multi class object detection what changes we should do in generate_tfrecord file ?

good job guy

Hey Ben, i have a question. I am creating a model for my project to detect vehicles. You labelled them all as 'cloth_mask'. I wanna label them seperately like bus truck etc. At 17:35 in line 33 you write only cloth_mask. When i label them differently what should i write in line 33. Please help me! Thanks !

generate_tfrecord needs the following updates to run with TensorFlow 2: (Warning! I'm still having trouble getting the training to start, and I'm still unsure if the errors I got later on are still stemming from my fixed generate_tfrecord. All I know is that these changes will not generate an error upon running the generate_tfrecord file.) tf.app has been removed, but you can just as easily, with minimal changes, use absl-py package instead. pip install absl-py then on generate_tfrecord file, do: import absl Now, where on the file it says tf.app.flags, simply replace with absl.flags and on the last line of the file, where it says tf.app.run(), simply replace it with absl.app.run(main) All right, now two last minor changes: on line 88, where it says tf.python_io.TFRecordWriter(FLAGS, output_path), change it to: tf.io.TFRecordWriter(FLAGS, output_path) and on line 47, where it says tf.gfile.GFile(....., simply change it to tf.io.gfile.GFile(.......

@@rafaeladi00 Sorry, I don't know about this error... Usually your best bet is searching the error message on Google. Chances are there is some forum thread out there where someone had the same problem and someone else has reached out with the solution. Especially on the Stack Overflow forum! But keep in mind you might be getting deeper in a hole of making a chimera of TensorFlow 2 fixes for a TensorFlow 1 guide, and who knows what other incompatibilities you will find after you solve this one. So my true recommendation is moving away from TensorFlow 1 guides and starting to get fully TensorFlow 2 projects to work on your computer (if it won't take too long to run it), or on Google Colab. Since my previous comment, I found an official TensorFlow 2 tutorial for Object Detection on Google Colab. You can find it by searching "TensorFlow 2 meets the Object Detection API". It's a blog post, and on it, there is a bullet point: "Colab demonstrations of eager mode compatible few-shot training and inference" which contains two links for great Google Colab tutorials which you can then modify for your own projects. I myself have spent the last couple months exploring and getting familiar with this code by modifying it a bit, and this Lazy Tech's video was super useful as a guide for how to input my own dataset (in my case, people holding cellphones!). I am slowly getting familiar with the code, as it takes some patience to start understanding in detail what is going. It's after that that you can start making more advanced tunings and modifications to the training model beyond changing the dataset to one your own. I've also used other guides as reference that I found with simple google searches. I'm still hoping Lazy Tech makes another video for TF2 object detection, as I loved this one very much, but for now the official tutorial I mentioned earlier is the best resource I've found. Good luck with your machine learning, and always keep it ethical! ;)
