How to Train TensorFlow Lite Object Detection Models Using Google Colab | SSD MobileNet

Let's train, export, and deploy a TensorFlow Lite object detection model on the Raspberry Pi - all through a web browser using Google Colab! We'll walk through a Colab notebook that provides start-to-finish code and instructions for training a custom TFLite model, and then show how to run it on a Raspberry Pi. The notebook uses the TensorFlow Object Detection API to train SSD-MobileNet or EfficientDet models and converts them to TFLite format. Click this link to the Colab notebook to get started: https://colab.research.google.com/git... WARNING: Google deprecated the TensorFlow Object Detection API over two years ago. For the sake of legacy code, I've kept this training notebook on life support through various hacks and band-aid fixes, and it is prone to stop working at any point. I will not be providing further support for this video or training notebook. I highly recommend using the newer PyTorch-based Ultralytics YOLO models for object detection. They perform better and they're much easier to work with. See my video tutorial on how to train YOLO detection models here.    • How to Train YOLO Object Detection Models ...   -- Other Links -- 📸 How to capture and label training data for object detection models:    • How to Capture and Label Training Data to ...   🏅 TFLite model comparison article: https://ejtech.io/learn/tflite-object... 🍓 Instructions to set up TFLite on the Raspberry Pi:    • How To Run TensorFlow Lite on Raspberry Pi...   💻 Instructions to run TFLite models on Windows: https://github.com/EdjeElectronics/Te... 🐜 How to quantize your TFLite model: Still to come! 📄 TFLite GitHub repository: https://github.com/EdjeElectronics/Te... -- Chapters -- 0:00 Introduction 1:06 Google Colab 1:41 1.
