Custom Object Detection on the browser using TensorFlow.js

Create your own custom object detection model and deploy it on the browser using TensorFlow.js

Note: TF 1.x is no longer supported; refer to the TFJS-TFLite Object Detection repository to create and deploy an object detection model on the browser.

Steps:

1. Clone the repository on your local machine.

2. Upload your dataset on Google Drive in the following directory structure ONLY; to avoid any errors as the notebook is created which is compatible to this format.

   TFJS-Custom-Detection.zip
   |__ images (contains all training and validation *.jpg files)
   |__ annotations (contains all training and validation *.xml files)
   |__ train (contains only training *.jpg and *.xml files)
   |__ val (contains only validation *.jpg and *.xml files)
   

3. Sign in to your Google account and upload the Custom_Object_Detection_using_TensorFlow_js.ipynb notebook on Colab.

4. Run the notebook cells one-by-one by following the instructions.

5. Once the TFJS model is downloaded, copy the model_web folder inside TensorFlow.js-Custom-Object-Detection/React_Web_App/public directory.

6. Run the following commands:

   • cd TensorFlow.js-Custom-Object-Detection/React_Web_App
   • npm install
   • npm start

7. Open localhost:3000 on your web browser and test the model for yourself.
