ImportError: cannot import name 'model_lib_v2' from 'object_detection' (already installed an still not working)


**Hey guys, currently doing tensorflow object detection and stuck because of an error. Already tried all the method in the internet, still not working. ** I use tensorflow == 2.10.0, the model is http://download.tensorflow.org/models/object_detection/tf2/20200711/ssd_mobilenet_v2_fpnlite_320x320_coco17_tpu-8.tar.gz and using jupyter notebook, python version = Python 3.10.9, no tensorflow gpu

Below are everything related to the error:

The "from object detection" of the image have indicator 

says report missing imports "object detection" could not be resolved

Solutions I have tried :

  1. pip install tensorflow-object-detection-api
  2. uninstall and reinstall tensorflow
  3. restart kernel

Below are the pip list :

Solutions I have tried :

1. pip install tensorflow-object-detection-api
2. uninstall and reinstall tensorflow
3. restart kernel 

i was expecting the object detection could be resolved, unfortunately its still there causing error


Solution

  • I found the problem, the code is already outdated and the tensorflow 2 does not support certain old version of packages. Plus, its impossible to do without the particular version unless I use other method. The solution is learn new technologies which are supported and read the latest documentations and github repo to do the projects.
