Custom Object Detection Model with Tensorflow

floodinator · October 9, 2023, 4:05am

I’m training a custom model for my project. I’m working with this Colab. But I have some errors when i tried to create record files. I tried delete this files, but when i deleted it the error continue with other files. I thinked the error is related with max file count or so long file name, but I can’t solve it.

My Colab Code:

!python3 create_csv.py
!python3 create_tfrecord.py --csv_input=images/train_labels.csv --labelmap=labelmap.txt --image_dir=images/train --output_path=train.tfrecord
!python3 create_tfrecord.py --csv_input=images/validation_labels.csv --labelmap=labelmap.txt --image_dir=images/validation --output_path=val.tfrecord

create_tfrecord.py :

Hi @floodinator ,

If your data is in XML format, you can convert it to COCO format using a tool such as Roboflow, etc… Once your data is in COCO format, you can use the following script to convert it to TFRecords

I think this will be easy way to do rather than debugging above error.

I hope this helps!

Thanks

Hi, I solved the issue with change the file names. Thanks for your answer.

Dont_Use_Me · February 19, 2024, 3:47am

I am having a similar issue while training a model and I am using the same colab file which you used. But I am getting an error in create_csv.py
The error is as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/content/create_csv.py", line 36, in <module>
    main()
  File "/content/create_csv.py", line 32, in main
    xml_df = xml_to_csv(image_path)
  File "/content/create_csv.py", line 19, in xml_to_csv
    int(member[4][0].text),
IndexError: child index out of range

Can you tell me how to fix this problem?

floodinator · February 19, 2024, 4:09am

Hi,

I think you have a problem with read XML files, your error related to not found 5th element, so you can check your XML files to they’re OK.

Dont_Use_Me · February 19, 2024, 6:57am

Hello, I solved this issue by directly converting my images into tfrecords on roboflow. I think the problem occured due to my class names. The class name I had given were “oil spot” and instead it should have been “oil_spot”. Hence there was an error in reading the xml files.

Thanks.

What do you mean by this sir? How and where to change filenames?

floodinator · February 20, 2024, 3:48am

I changed the name of train, test and validate image files. Also if you’re using Roboflow, you can change the download type.(Yolov5, yolov8, Coco, json etc.). It’s more basically than change filenames.
