I'm trying debug my trained Faster R-CNN model using Tensorflow Object Detection API and I want to visualize the proposal regions of RPN on an image. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
I found a post here but it hasn't been answered. I tried to export the model using exporter_main_v2.py
with only the RPN head as said here and this is the massage when I deleted the second_stage.

Found the solution!
In the config file add number_of_stages: 1
Instead of using exporter_main_v2.py
I write code that builds the model from the checkpoint file
# Load pipeline config and build a detection model
configs = config_util.get_configs_from_pipeline_file(path_to_config)
model_config = configs['model']
detection_model = model_builder.build(model_config=model_config, is_training=False)
# Restore checkpoint
ckpt = tf.compat.v2.train.Checkpoint(model=detection_model)
ckpt.restore(os.path.join(path_to_ckpt, 'ckpt-0')).expect_partial()
Then I feed the image I need to inspect to the model, then I use object_detection.utils.visualization_utils.visualize_boxes_and_labels_on_image_array
to inspect the boxes
