In this short article, we will set up Matterport's Mask RCNN repository.

I ran into many dependency issues, and I wanted to document this and share this to others.

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/matterport/Mask_RCNN.git

Remove opencv-python from requirements.txt:

numpy
scipy
Pillow
cython
matplotlib
scikit-image
tensorflow>=1.3.0
keras>=2.0.8
opencv-python <--- DELETE THIS LINE
h5py
imgaug
IPython[all]

Install the required dependencies:

conda install --file requirements.txt
conda install -c conda-forge opencv pycocotools

Migrate the project to TensorFlow 2:

tf_upgrade_v2 --intree Mask_RCNN/ --outtree Mask_RCNN_V2/ --reportfile report.txt
