So I am following this tutorial to build my custom Tensorflow object detection model on macOS, everything went well until I tried to convert xml files to record files. I used the script generate_tfrecord.py, but the error occurred, it said:
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
The Python version is 3.7,FYI.
Inside the generate_tfrecord.py :
""" Sample TensorFlow XML-to-TFRecord converter
usage: generate_tfrecord.py [-h] [-x XML_DIR] [-l LABELS_PATH] [-o OUTPUT_PATH] [-i IMAGE_DIR] [-c CSV_PATH]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-x XML_DIR, --xml_dir XML_DIR
Path to the folder where the input .xml files are stored.
-l LABELS_PATH, --labels_path LABELS_PATH
Path to the labels (.pbtxt) file.
-o OUTPUT_PATH, --output_path OUTPUT_PATH
Path of output TFRecord (.record) file.
-i IMAGE_DIR, --image_dir IMAGE_DIR
Path to the folder where the input image files are stored. Defaults to the same directory as XML_DIR.
-c CSV_PATH, --csv_path CSV_PATH
Path of output .csv file. If none provided, then no file will be written.

How I use the code:
# Create train data:
python generate_tfrecord.py -x [PATH_TO_IMAGES_FOLDER]/train -l [PATH_TO_ANNOTATIONS_FOLDER]/label_map.pbtxt -o [PATH_TO_ANNOTATIONS_FOLDER]/train.record
# Create test data:
python generate_tfrecord.py -x [PATH_TO_IMAGES_FOLDER]/test -l [PATH_TO_ANNOTATIONS_FOLDER]/label_map.pbtxt -o [PATH_TO_ANNOTATIONS_FOLDER]/test.record
# For example
# python generate_tfrecord.py -x C:/Users/sglvladi/Documents/Tensorflow/workspace/training_demo/images/train -l C:/Users/sglvladi/Documents/Tensorflow/workspace/training_demo/annotations/label_map.pbtxt -o C:/Users/sglvladi/Documents/Tensorflow/workspace/training_demo/annotations/train.record
# python generate_tfrecord.py -x C:/Users/sglvladi/Documents/Tensorflow/workspace/training_demo/images/test -l C:/Users/sglvladi/Documents/Tensorflow2/workspace/training_demo/annotations/label_map.pbtxt -o C:/Users/sglvladi/Documents/Tensorflow/workspace/training_demo/annotations/test.record
Really need help from you guys, thanks in advance :)
