Everything was working fine before. after some time I've clone this repo again and try running the image_demo.py with the below command.

python3 image_demo.py --model 101 --image_dir ./images --output_dir ./output

but got the error

Cannot find models file ./_models/mobilenet_v1_050.pth, converting from tfjs...

So I found that the issue was from google side it was sending the wrong JSON. now everything is working normally so I'm closing the issue.
