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.

Answer 1

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.
