在Windows上编译协议缓冲区Tensorflow对象检测API

Question

I'm brand new to the Windows environment and have spent several hours trying to install Tensorflow with the object detection tutorial. I've read dozens of threads and seen several videos and have no luck.

Here's where I am at: I have all the Tensorflow dependencies installed and the protoc (version 3.7) executable, but when I run the line object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=. I get a no such file or directory error.

Here is what I am running from the command line, from the models directory:

D:\\training\\Tensorflow\\protoc\\bin\\protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.

I've also tried D:\\training\\Tensorflow\\protoc\\bin\\protoc research/object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=. since the path from my current directory (models) to the proto files is research/object_detection/protos/

This thread suggests compiling each .proto file one by one, and after trying to compile the first with D:\\training\\Tensorflow\\protoc\\bin\\protoc research/object_detection/protos/anchor_generator.proto --python_out=.

I get this error:

object_detection/protos/grid_anchor_generator.proto: File not found.
object_detection/protos/ssd_anchor_generator.proto: File not found.
object_detection/protos/multiscale_anchor_generator.proto: File not found.
research/object_detection/protos/anchor_generator.proto: Import "object_detection/protos/grid_anchor_generator.proto" was not found or had errors.

research/object_detection/protos/anchor_generator.proto: Import "object_detection/protos/multiscale_anchor_generator.proto" was not found or had errors.
research/object_detection/protos/anchor_generator.proto:13:5: "GridAnchorGenerator" is not defined.
research/object_detection/protos/anchor_generator.proto:14:5: "SsdAnchorGenerator" is not defined.
research/object_detection/protos/anchor_generator.proto:15:5: "MultiscaleAnchorGenerator" is not defined.

Those other .proto files are in fact in the same directory, so I'm not sure why it's not finding them.
What am I doing wrong?

You should run the command from research directory. As specified here .

# From tensorflow/models/research/
D:\training\Tensorflow\protoc\bin\protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.
