Tensorboard Eval Images with TF-Vision

Start with the TensorBoard image-logging instructions at the linked object-detection documentation and reproduce the issue using the provided run_experiment call. Compare the default behavior with EXPERIMENT_CONFIG.task.allow_image_summary = True and trace the reported scalar-shape error. Done means evaluated images appear in TensorBoard without the ValueError.

Prerequisites

Please answer the following questions for yourself before submitting an issue.

• I am using the latest TensorFlow Model Garden release and TensorFlow 2.
• I am reporting the issue to the correct repository. (Model Garden official or research directory)
• I checked to make sure that this issue has not been filed already.

1. The entire URL of the file you are using

https://www.tensorflow.org/tfmodels/vision/object_detection#load_logs_in_tensorboard

2. Describe the bug

I am following this documentation, https://www.tensorflow.org/tfmodels/vision/object_detection#load_logs_in_tensorboard
When I open tensorboard, and select images, I get "No image data was found."

I also tried to add EXPERIMENT_CONFIG.task.allow_image_summary = True, but I got an error, even with the dataset and code given by the documentation.

The error:

ValueError: Expected scalar shape, saw shape: (1, 640, 640, 3).

The code:

model, eval_logs = tfm.core.train_lib.run_experiment(
    distribution_strategy=distribution_strategy,
    task=task,
    mode='train_and_eval',
    params=EXPERIMENT_CONFIG,
    model_dir=paths['MODEL_CHECKPOINT_PATH'],
    run_post_eval=True,
)

3. Steps to reproduce

• Following this documentation: https://www.tensorflow.org/tfmodels/vision/object_detection#load_logs_in_tensorboard
• After training, open tensorboard, and select images
• See "No image data was found."

Now, try to train again with

• EXPERIMENT_CONFIG.task.allow_image_summary = True
• see error:

ValueError: Expected scalar shape, saw shape: (1, 640, 640, 3).

4. Expected behavior

I would like to see the evaluated images per epochs saved on tensorboard.
