No such file or directory while running generate_tfrecord.py

[adityaksai]

Hello, I have followed the tensorflow object detection API installation by following the below demo

https://github.com/EdjeElectronics/TensorFlow-Object-Detection-API-Tutorial-Train-Multiple-Objects-Windows-10.

I am getting this problem while running the line---

python generate_tfrecord.py --csv_input=images\train_labels.csv --image_dir=images\train --output_path=train.record

Error:

(tf_gpu) C:\Tensorflow1\models\research\object_detection>python generate_tfrecord.py --csv_input=images\train_labels.csv --image_dir=images\train --output_path=train.record

; No such file or directory

Solution 1:
I have changed the xml to csv file by adding the .jpg extension.

I want to use it for my own dataset.

I am able to run the model for single class like
models/research/object_detection/images/train/class1
models/research/object_detection/images/test/class1

I want to extend it to my multi class dataset.
Folder structure:
models/research/object_detection/images/train/class1
models/research/object_detection/images/train/class2
models/research/object_detection/images/train/class3

models/research/object_detection/images/test/class1
models/research/object_detection/images/test/class2
models/research/object_detection/images/test/class3

train_labels.csv file contains

filename,width,height,class,xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax
img000000.jpg,640,480,auto,21,114,77,193
img000001.jpg,640,480,auto,332,10,504,229
img000000.jpg,640,480,bus,322,356,334,371
img000001.jpg,640,480,bus,341,357,351,370
img000002.jpg,5500,3667,car,2516,1933,2819,2422

Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you in advance .
