Installation of Object Detection API fails on aarch64

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

I am following the instruction here: https://tensorflow-object-detection-api-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#tensorflow-object-detection-api-installation and also reviewed the documentation here at: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/g3doc/tf2.md

2. Describe the bug

At the pip install instruction I get an AttributeError: cython_sources

Version of some packages I use that I seen recommended:

• PyYaml = 6.0.0
• cython: 0.29.36
• Despite having pip 23.2.1 the option --use-feature 2020-resolver returns an error of an invalid value for the option

3. Steps to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git
cd models/research
protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.
cp object_detection/packages/tf2/setup.py .
python -m pip install

4. Expected behavior

Installation to be successful.

5. Additional context

Include any logs that would be helpful to diagnose the problem.
