Show per category metrics in Tensorboard

Question

I am training an object detection model using tensorflow object detection api. The eval config is like this:

eval_config: {
  num_examples: 8000
  max_evals: 10
  num_visualizations: 20
  include_metrics_per_category: true
}

However, tensorboard doesn't show any per category metrics. Is there anything else I need to do?

Ah I think the pycocotools from github doesn't support this feature. We had this implemented inside of Google, but it's not available outside.
