This is the best tutorial. Simple but comprehensive, logical but easy!

I have followed every step exactly the same, but there are few conflicts to mention.

1. Mine is win11, latest version, P1000 old NVDA card. But installing the cudnn 8.1 and cuda 11.2 is OK. Protobuf used the same version as in the tutorial.

2. Author installed tf2.5, but when installing model zoo using that script, it upgrades mine tf version to 2.11. But following everything works.

3. I used the centernet hourlyglass model. everything is fine.

This is a "short" (rather lengthy) tutorial that started off as self notes on how to set-up and get going with the TensorFlow Object Detection API.

There currently exist several versions of the tutorial, corresponding to the various different versions of TensorFlow. The two major versions are outlined below.

Since July 10, 2020 TensorFlow announced that the Object Detection API officially supports TensorFlow 2. Therefore, an updated version of the tutorial was created to cover TensorFlow 2.

Originally, the tutorial was written with TensorFlow 1 in mind. Since it is possible that many users will still be interested in working with TensorFlow 1, a version of this tutorial will also be maintained for the foreseeable future.
