I’m encountering an ImportError related to the eval_pb2 module from the object_detection.protos package. Here are the details:

• I’m working on an object detection project using TensorFlow and TensorFlow Hub.

• I’ve set up my environment with TFRecords, label maps, and configuration files.

• When I try to import config_util, I get the following error:

  ImportError: cannot import name 'eval_pb2' from 'object_detection.protos'
  

import os
import cv2
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import tensorflow as tf
import tensorflow_hub as hub
from PIL import Image
from tensorflow.data import Dataset
from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential, Model
from tensorflow.keras.layers import Input, Dense, Dropout, Lambda
from tensorflow.keras.optimizers import Adam

from object_detection.utils import visualization_utils as viz_utils
from object_detection.utils import label_map_util
from object_detection.utils import dataset_utilfrom object_detection.utils import config_util

# ... other code ...

# The error occurs here:
from object_detection.protos import eval_pb2

• OS: Windows 10
• TensorFlow installation method: pip

Expected Outcome:

• I expect to resolve the ImportError and successfully import eval_pb2.

Any guidance on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

• I’ve compiled the necessary Protocol Buffers (protobuf) files using protoc.
• I’ve verified that the eval_pb2 file exists in the correct location.
• I’m using TensorFlow version 2.15.1.
