TensorFlow Lite Python object detection example w/ Raspberry Pi Crashes during Install

General Discussion

Hello,

I have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with a 32GB SDCard running Raspberry Pi OS Buster 2021-05-07.

I tried using the Object Detection example given here

When I run the setup.h it works until until it tries to install the dependencies for what I think is OpenCV. It works for a few minutes then it freezes and crashes.

It looks like the this Object Detection Example was updated recently.

Will it work with a Raspberry Pi 3B+?

Any tips or tricks on how to get around this issue?

Thank you,

Hello All,

I solved my problem.

When you install the Object Detection example for Raspberry Pi you need to make sure you meet the Tensorflow 2 requirements.

I updated my pip to 20.3.4 and my pip3 to 21.3.1 and everything installed and ran just fine.

Thanks.
