labelImg VS models

I am using SSD ResNet50 V1 FPN 1024x1024 (RetinaNet50) from TF model zoo .

I spent some time looking for an article that explains object detection, but it seems that there are a lot of articles out there that are not very helpful. Some of these articles focus on specific things like mAP or UoI, but without the broader context, they are not very useful. The main issue with these articles is that they either don't provide any code, or they give examples that are not very helpful, like terminal commands to download a framework and train a model. I started from this link https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/g3doc/tf2.md, but it id not very useful. What I really need is a comprehensive explanation of how object detection works, along with working code that I can use to see the results for myself. I know that there are many different approaches to object localization, such as one-stage or two-stage detection, Faster R-CNN, or SSD, but I don't really care which approach will be described. I just need a starting point with clear explanations and working code that I can run.

TensorFlow Models (GitHub: https://github.com/tensorflow/models) is a collection of diverse TensorFlow-based ML and DL models for tasks like image classification, object detection, and text classification.

Assuming you're talking about leveraging the device's the device's Tensor Processing unit for machine learning then there then you're in luck because Google designed the TPU to work extremely well with the machine learning solutions developed by Google such as easy to use SDKs, robust runtimes and APIs ( e.g. - which you probably aren't going to need to touch). If you're a researcher there's plenty of lower level stuff floating about - but developers would be, again, better off staying away from it.

Thank you so that worked and I was able to install it 😅. But when I try to run the test script as mentioned here, I get an error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'object_detection'. Am I doing something wrong, I’m using a conda environment and I have tensorflow-macos and tensorflow-metal plug-in installed in the same environment as tf-models.

I've noticed while implementing tensorflow object detection API for a client that they have deprecated the repo and will not be updating it: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/object_detection

I implore you, download a model from Tensorflow’s model repo and try training it on your conventional GPU. See how much your memory bandwidth and memory count will severely bottleneck performance, in addition see how long it takes to get any decent results.
