Tensorflow object detection error for tenserflow.compact module not found

TensorFlow General Discussion

I wrote this code which is below

VERIFICATION_SCRIPT = os.path.join(paths[‘APIMODEL_PATH’], ‘research’, ‘object_detection’, ‘builders’, ‘model_builder_tf2_test.py’)

Verify Installation

!python {VERIFICATION_SCRIPT}

AND

import tensorflow as tf
from object_detection.utils import config_util
from object_detection.protos import pipeline_pb2
from google.protobuf import text_format

and i am getting an error in both of the code :-

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “D:\OBJECT DETECTION\TFODCourse\Tensorflow\models\research\object_detection\builders\model_builder_tf2_test.py”, line 21, in
import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘tensorflow.compat’

Hi @gaurav_sharma, I can see that you are using a research model for your object detection training, those models contain some deprecated lines of code. Tensorflow does not officially support research models.

I recommend you to use the official tensorflow/models for your use case. Please refer to this tutorial for implementing object detection using official models and let us know if you faceing any errors? Thank you.

While the above response is accurate, you can get rid of the error message by updating the python path … something in this line

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$PATH_TO_TF_ROOT/models
