how to create tfrecord for custom labels in Tensorflow object detection?

Question

I am trying to use tensorflow object detection API for custom image classification. After collecting images and creating csv from labelimg I tried generating the TfRecord. But everytime I run the program it returns error

    C:\>python generate_tfrecord.py --csv_input=data/train
_labels.csv  --output_path=data/train.record
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have all the images in jpg format and the images are available in the specified folders.

Answer 1

C:\image.jpg : The system cannot find the file specified.

The path in the file has to be a full path.
