Dear,

Recently, i was migrating to tensorflow object detetction API version 2.0 from 1.15.0, Able to train & Evaluate the model. But while creating a frozen model using exporter_main_v2.py getting below error

WARNING:tensorflow:Skipping full serialization of Keras layer <object_detection.meta_architectures.ssd_meta_arch.SSDMetaArch object at 0x7f77e84d3510>, because it is not built.

Can you please share colab ink or provide the exact sequence of commands / steps that you executed before running into the problem.It helps us in localizing the issue faster.Thanks!

[hasansalimkanmaz]

I am training the model locally.

after setting up object detection api.

I trained my model with this command. ` python models/research/object_detection/model_main_tf2.py --pipeline_config_path=models/my_model_dir/my_model.config --model_dir=models/my_model_dir/ --alsologtostderr

Then, I have evaluated model with this command, python models/research/object_detection/model_main_tf2.py --pipeline_config_path=models/my_model_dir/my_model.config --model_dir=models/my_model_dir/ --checkpoint_dir=models/my_model_dir/ --alsologtostderr

After evaluation, I run this command to export model python models/research/object_detection/exporter_main_v2.py --input_type=image_tensor --pipeline_config_path=models/my_model_dir/my_model.config --trained_checkpoint_dir=models/my_model_dir/ --output_directory=output_model_21/

then I see the above error message.

[hasansalimkanmaz]

This issue should not be closed. I only mentioned and directed users with the same error to here.

[ricardosilva88]

Just adding a quick reference to a workaround, in case of coming here in fist place - https://tensorflow-object-detection-api-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/issues.html

[change2014]

use exporter_main_v2.py script only, for exporting the models. By default it exports recent checkpoint present in checkpoint_dir. If you want it to export a particular checkpoint then change model_checkpoint_path in checkpoint file.
