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.

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 ...
