mediapipe hangs if tensorflow imported

[serengil]

Hello,

I am using a mac with macOS Catalina (version 10.15.7) - intel core i7. If I import tensorflow first, then mediapipe hangs and waits. If I don't mediapipe, then it works. I write the following code to test importing and not importing tensorflow cases.

BTW, my python version is 3.8.12 and mediapipe version is 0.8.9.1.

if False:
    import tensorflow as tf
    print(tf.__version__) #mine version is 2.7.0

import mediapipe as mp
import cv2

img = cv2.imread("deepface/tests/dataset/img1.jpg")

mp_face_detection = mp.solutions.face_detection

#this line prints "INFO: Created TensorFlow Lite XNNPACK delegate for CPU." if tensorflow was not imported yet
face_detector = mp_face_detection.FaceDetection( min_detection_confidence=0.6)

#this line hangs and waiting if tensorflow was imported
results = face_detector.process(img)

print(results.detections)

I found a similar issue here, but it is closed because of inactivity.

Hello @serengil,
We are upgrading the MediaPipe Legacy Solutions to new MediaPipe solutions However, the libraries, documentation, and source code for all the MediaPipe Legacy Solutions will continue to be available in our GitHub repository and through library distribution services, such as Maven and NPM.

You can continue to use those legacy solutions in your applications if you choose. Though, we would request you to check new MediaPipe solutions which can help you more easily build and customize ML solutions for your applications. These new solutions will provide a superset of capabilities available in the legacy solutions.
