Object Detection with TensorFlow 2 : ImportError: cannot import name 'anchor_generator_pb2' from 'object_detection.protos'

I am trying to train a model using Tensorflow 2 as written here: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1sLqFKVV94wm-lglFq_0kGo2ciM0kecWD#scrollTo=fF8ysCfYKgTP&uniqifier=1

But when I run: python object_detection/builders/model_builder_tf2_test.py This error is returned to me: ImportError: cannot import name 'anchor_generator_pb2' from 'object_detection.protos'

I was looking for answers with such a problem on the internet. Everywhere there are two answers - either "pip install" is missing, or you need to use protoc 3.4. But that doesn't work for me. i tried versions protoc 3.17 and 3.4, It does not help. Please tell me how you can solve this problem.

What exactly have you tried? Did you install the dependencies as outlined in your link? - gshpychka
I did everything that is written. git clone --depth 1 github.com/tensorflow/models protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=. cp object_detection/packages/tf2/setup.py . python -m pip install . - SergRKrus

I solved the problem. It turned out that python was trying to import files from a different directory. I moved the project to this folder and it worked.

I spent 2 days solving this problem. If anyone has the same problem, take a close look at where the import fails.

I am also encountering the same problem. In my case I don't think it is the directory.

1 VERIFICATION_SCRIPT = os.path.join(paths['APIMODEL_PATH'], 'research', 'object_detection', 'builders', 'model_builder_tf2_test.py')

I downloaded TF Models Pretrained Models from Tensorflow Model Zoo and Installed TFOD. I wanted to verify the installation. Tensorflow Model Zoo installation verification and I got the error.

ImportError: cannot import name 'anchor_generator_pb2' from 'object_detection.protos'

I still have not solved it yet. Any suggestions?
