Training Custom Object

The following activities have been done:

1. Setup of environment , in my case using Docker
2. Labeling and creation of tfRecord

Now we need to launch the actual training of tensorflow on the custom object . I have been following the tutorial from python programming to do that.

Docker 

1. Start by downloading a copy of ssd_mobilenet_v1_coco_11_06_2017.tar.gz:

wget http://download.tensorflow.org/models/object_detection/ssd_mobilenet_v1_coco_11_06_2017.tar.gz

2. Copy this to your object_detection folder:

docker cp ssd_mobilenet_v1_coco_11_06_2017.tar.gz tensorflow:/notebooks/models/research/object_detection/

3. Then untar the model:
tar -xvzf ssd_mobilenet_v1_coco_11_06_2017.tar.gz

4. Now taking the ssd_mobilenet_v1_pets.config  copy it to :
docker cp ssd_mobilenet_v1_pets.config tensorflow:/notebooks/models/research/object_detection/training

======ssd_mobilenet_v1_pets.config =====
# SSD with Mobilenet v1, configured for the mac-n-cheese dataset.
# Users should configure the fine_tune_checkpoint field in the train config as
# well as the label_map_path and input_path fields in the train_input_reader and
# eval_input_reader. Search for "${YOUR_GCS_BUCKET}" to find the fields that
# should be configured.

}
====================================

5.  Copy the following object-detection.pbtxt to the object_detection/data directory:

docker cp object-detection.pbtxt tensorflow:/notebooks/models/research/object_detection/data

========object-detection.pbtxt============

item {
  id: 1
  name: 'object_label_name'
}

====================================

In my case am identifying only one object so there is only 1 item , change object_label_name to the name of your label you defined when annotating your images .

6. Launch the training using the following command:

python train.py --logtostderr --train_dir=training/ --pipeline_config_path=training/ssd_mobilenet_v1_pets.config

Note if there are any errors try doing the following before executing train.py:
cd /notebooks/models/research/
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`pwd`:`pwd`/slim
cd object_detection


You should start seeing steps being executed as below :



Tensorboard

To monitor progress on tensorboard use the following command  , can be in another docker exec putty window:

tensorboard --logdir='training'


You should be able to see the board on http://your_DOMAIN_OR_IP:6006/  , this took some secs for me before it actually was shown :
