In this article, I will walk through the steps how you can easily build your own real-time object recognition application with Tensorflow’s (TF) new Object Detection API and OpenCV in Python 3 (specifically 3.5). The focus will be on the challenges that I faced when building it. You can find the full code on my repo. And here is also the app in action: Me trying to classify some random stuff on my
