The Future of Object Detection support

TensorFlow

As far as i understand it:

  • the tf1 OD API was deprecated in a half finished state (because the TF2 OD API was developed)
  • the tf2 OD API was deprecated in a half finished state (because the Model Maker was developed)
  • the Model Maker was abandoned in development (because the Media Pipe is getting developed)

So, when will the Media Pipe be abandoned? It is currently in v 0.1, what are the chances this project makes it to v1.0?

Is there an actual chance that Media Pipe will be actually developed for a longer time?
I am asking because i am responsible for implementing training pipelines for tflite models (OD tasks) and it seems like a more future proof approach would be to implement my own ObjectDetector.

How relevant is it even for the TF-Team to implement and support OD-Tasks for TFLite?
