protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto: No such file or directory

Question

I am following the example found here. But whenever I enter the command \"C:/Program Files/protoc/bin/protoc\" object_detection/protos/.proto --python_out=. I get an e

Answer 1

change the directory to models or model master of tensorflow then you have to compile the .proto files of protobuff using the following commands running one by one

protoc --python_out=. .\object_detection\protos\anchor_generator.proto
