TensorFlow Object Detection API Guide 🎯
The TensorFlow Object Detection API is a powerful tool for building and training object detection models. It simplifies the process of creating custom models using pre-trained architectures like SSD, Faster R-CNN, and YOLO. Below are key details to help you get started:
📚 Introduction
- Overview: A part of the TensorFlow ecosystem, designed for developers and researchers.
- Core Functionality: Provides a unified framework for training, evaluating, and deploying detection models.
- Support: Works with COCO, Pascal VOC, and custom datasets.
🔧 Key Features
- Pre-trained Models: Leverage existing models (e.g.,
ssd_mobilenet_v2
orfaster_rcnn_resnet101
). - Custom Training: Fine-tune models on your own dataset with labelimg or other tools.
- Export Options: Convert models to TensorFlow Lite or SavedModel format for deployment.
🧠 Use Cases
- Real-time Applications: Surveillance systems, autonomous vehicles, and robotics.
- Industrial Automation: Quality control in manufacturing.
- Research: Academic projects on computer vision.
📈 Advantages
- Speed: Optimized for fast inference with GPU acceleration.
