How to increase the font size of the bounding box in Tensorflow object detection module?

Find "visualization_utils.py"
This exist in "research/object_detection/utils"

And find below code, modify font size.

If it is not working, change path to absolute path.

Or copy font file to project folder.

Thank you.

try:

#font = ImageFont.truetype('arial.ttf', 24)

font = ImageFont.truetype('/Library/Fonts/Arial.ttf', 100) #leon modify

except IOError:

font = ImageFont.load_default()

Font size up

google object detection api error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pycocotools’

You might see this error : No module named 'pycocotools’, when you try to start train.
I refer to my solution.
Good luck!

Error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pycocotools’

Solution :

git clone https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi.git

cd cocoapi/PythonAPI

make

cp -r pycocotools <path_to_object_detection_api>/models/research/

google object detection api error : object_detection/protos/model.proto:12:5: "Ssd" is not defined.

You might meet this error : "object_detection/protos/model.proto:12:5: "Ssd" is not defined.", when you try below command.

# From tensorflow/models/research/

protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.

I solved this error to use below work.

# Make sure you grab the latest version

curl -OL https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v3.2.0/protoc-3.2.0-linux-x86_64.zip 

# Unzip 

unzip protoc-3.2.0-linux-x86_64.zip -d protoc3 

# Move protoc to /usr/local/bin/ 

sudo mv protoc3/bin/* /usr/local/bin/ 

# Move protoc3/include to /usr/local/include/ 

sudo mv protoc3/include/* /usr/local/include/ 

# Optional: change owner 

sudo chwon [user] /usr/local/bin/protoc 

sudo chwon -R [user] /usr/local/include/google

google object detection api - error : Value Error: First Step Cannot Be Zero

This error is because of
schedule{
 step:0
 learning_rate: 0.00019...
}

So just change whole optimizer block to latest models optimizer block.
(This code is in the config file!)

before

optimizer {

momentum_optimizer {

learning_rate {

manual_step_learning_rate {

initial_learning_rate: 0.000199999994948

schedule {

step: 0

learning_rate: 0.000199999994948

}

schedule {

step: 900000

learning_rate: 1.99999994948e-05

}

schedule {

step: 1200000

learning_rate: 1.99999999495e-06

}

}

}

momentum_optimizer_value: 0.899999976158

}

use_moving_average: false

}

modified (example)

optimizer {

momentum_optimizer {

learning_rate {

cosine_decay_learning_rate {

learning_rate_base: 0.0399999991059

total_steps: 25000

warmup_learning_rate: 0.0133330002427

warmup_steps: 2000

}

}

momentum_optimizer_value: 0.899999976158

}

use_moving_average: false

}

or make step 0-> step 100 or something else, (not zero)

move to this directory :
cd models/research

and try it again
protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.
good luck!
