TensorFlow training data Error. ValueError

Question

Im currently working on a tensorflow project and I am getting this error.

ValueError: model_config not of type model_pb2.DetectionModel.

It happens when I'm trying to train my model. Has anyone encountered this issue before? First question asked on here so be gentle.

I think it is version issue, support for ObjectDetection model was added to python3 later, may a fresh installation of Tensorflow can solve the issue. — whoosis, Aug 08 '18 at 17:15
instead , You can install tensorflow in a python 2.7 environment in that case you can avoid several compatibility issues. — whoosis, Aug 08 '18 at 18:28
this issue is also referenced here : https://github.com/tensorflow/models/issues/1703 — whoosis, Aug 08 '18 at 18:29
Yeah i looked there but isnt really a solution. Do you know what the error means? Like model_config is not a type of model_pb2.DetectionModel but why would that happen? — Nathan Gratn, Aug 08 '18 at 18:31
i don't know about your config file setting though have you also tried using python 2.7 ? i had the same issue , and turned out it was compatibility issue and was resolved in python 2.7 . hope that help — whoosis, Aug 08 '18 at 18:37
Figured it out it was a combination of using python2, and my computer converting the config file into raw text with font and other weird stuff. Thanks for the help again — Nathan Gratn, Aug 08 '18 at 21:30

Try this first,

Solution A:

Download this complete "models_shareToPublic".rar file.
Unzip/Unrar the file.
Copy all the contains of the folder to your project library directory
Run your code/program again.

Solution B:

Please open the cmd prompt in your project library directory In my case, it is: (my_project_name\venv\Lib\site-packages)
Clone the master branch of the Tensorflow Models repository by typing the cmd command below in the cmd prompt, which is opened in the specified directory above. (might take a few minutes depending on your network speed)

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

Move all the contents inside the models folder into the library directory stated in Step 1.
Create "*.pb2" files by following this steps
Change the import line below in model_builder.py

Change from this:

from protos import model_pb2

to this:

from object_detection.protos import model_pb2

Run your code/program again, and you will notice this same error will be disappeared.

Notes: If it appears

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'object_detection'

Go to "research" folder and copy the "object_detection" folder to the directory same with "research" folder. So that it can call the library directly, if not, you have to adjust the import line in each .py file (very wasting time)

Hope it works to you too, Good Luck!

In my computer, I did these and fixed this problem:

In model_builder.py, don't use

from protos import model_pb2

use

from object_detection.protos import model_pb2

instead.
