[Docs]: 4 referenced images missing in SSD research READMEs (404 on master) #1469

Open

Description

@auroraxo

Related to Model/Framework(s): TensorFlow/Detection/SSD (research READMEs: object_detection + slim/nets/mobilenet)

Describe the bug (documentation rot)

Four images referenced from two READMEs under TensorFlow/Detection/SSD/models/research/ do not exist in the repository, so those sections render with broken figures on GitHub.

Missing paths (referenced from READMEs that do exist):

# Referencing README Missing target (repo root relative)
1 TensorFlow/Detection/SSD/models/research/object_detection/README.md TensorFlow/Detection/SSD/models/research/object_detection/g3doc/img/kites_detections_output.jpg
2 TensorFlow/Detection/SSD/models/research/object_detection/README.md TensorFlow/Detection/SSD/models/research/object_detection/g3doc/img/tf-od-api-logo.png
3 TensorFlow/Detection/SSD/models/research/slim/nets/mobilenet/README.md TensorFlow/Detection/SSD/models/research/slim/nets/mobilenet/mnet_v1_vs_v2_pixel1_latency.png
4 TensorFlow/Detection/SSD/models/research/slim/nets/mobilenet/README.md TensorFlow/Detection/SSD/models/research/slim/nets/mobilenet/madds_top1_accuracy.png

How this was verified (2026-10-08 05:07 UTC, browser User-Agent, redirects followed)

  • All 4 targets return 404 on master via raw.githubusercontent.com.
  • Both referencing READMEs return 200 — the references are live in the rendered docs, not stale copies of an old file.
  • Positive control under identical request conditions: CUDA-Optimized/FastSpeech/materials/fastspeech_arch.png = 200 → the 404s are dead paths, not UA/bot gating.

Expected behavior

The referenced images exist in the repo (or the references are updated/removed if the assets were retired).

Impact

The MobileNet README loses both of its comparison charts (v1-vs-v2 latency and MAdds-vs-top-1 accuracy), and the object-detection README loses its logo and its example output image.

Environment

n/a — documentation-only finding, no runtime involved.
