Feature Description
A coco2yolo.py script that converts a COCO formatted detection or instance segmentation dataset into a yolo dataset.
Expected usage:
python coco2yolo.py --cocoroot <root path of coco dataset> --exportpath <root path of expected yolo dataset>
cocoroot will be the root path of coco dataset. This directory will contain "annotations" and "images" folders. The exportpath will be path where the converted data will placed. After conversion finishes the exportpath directory will contain two folders. labels and images. If the exportpath is same as cocoroot the folder images are not over-written.
I am working on a converter and will be making a PR soon. @henrytsui000 will appreciate your help in getting it evaluated and merged. Thanks.
Future Considerations
Currently, it seems that we are making a double effort in data_loader.py to support both types of datasets; COCO and YOLO. This is causing our effort to be diverted to fixing bugs like #67 #36.
Let us make this this converter script and reevaluate, if we should only support yolo formatted dataset. This should help us focus our efforts better.
