TO get this code to work 1. clone models git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/models 2. run [`protoc`](http://google.github.io/proto-lens/installing-protoc.html) in `models/research` protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=. 3. Add models/research into PYTHONPATH export PYTHONPATH=/home/sipp11/dev/tf1-test/models/research:$PYTHONPATH 4. Copy `mscoco_label_map.pbtxt` from `/models/research/object_detection/data` to `./data/` However, `.pbtxt` is just an id & label conversion as following: item { id: 1 display_name: "person" } item { id: 2 display_name: "bicycle" } 5. It should work!
