A Thin Wrapper around Tensorflow Object Detection API for Easy Installation and Use

tf_object_detection

This is a thin wrapper around Tensorflow Object Detection API for easy installation and use. The original installation procedure contains multiple manual steps that make dependency management difficult. This repository creates a pip package that automate the installation so that you can install the API with a single pip install.

Installation

Or for tensorflow with GPU support,

pip install tf-object-detection[tf-gpu]

Usage

All the scripts from tensorflow object detection APIs work out-of-box. You can find an example usages from the API's model_main.py.
