Using .pb saved model for object detection

[hobbyist]

I am using this guy's code: https://tensorflow-object-detection-api-...model.html in order to make object detection using images and a saved .pb model. I cannot post the code from this website because it is copyrighted. The code I am using is under the paragraph: Putting everything together. I face an error on this line:

Error:
Running inference for ('workspace/training_demo/images/test_images/', [], ['image_1.jpg', 'image_2.jpg'])... Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/someone/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 2957, in open
    fp.seek(0)
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'seek'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/someone/Desktop/TensorFlow/final_code.py", line 30, in <module>
    image_np = load_image_into_numpy_array(image_path)
  File "/home/someone/Desktop/TensorFlow/final_code.py", line 23, in load_image_into_numpy_array
    return np.array(Image.open(path))
  File "/home/someone/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 2959, in open
    fp = io.BytesIO(fp.read())
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'read'

I searched on google/stackoverflow and I found this candidate solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2071...ibute-read which didn't help.... Any ideas?

Can a moderator move this thread under: " General Coding Help" since it is general python3 problem...?
