Unable to read existing xml files (create_annoset.py), Why?!!

[MyVanitar]

When I run the create_lmdbdata.sh, I get two errors related to the .xml files in train and test folders.

it says:

annotation file: /home/hesam/Desktop/img/val/annot/0269.xml does not exist
annotation file: /home/hesam/Desktop/img/train/annot/0156.xml does not exist

These paths are exist in first lines of trainval.txtandtest.txt. it means the program stuck in the first line.

The error comes from the create_annoset.py file and it seems it does not recognize .xml files.

It seems it does not have any problem with .jpgfiles.

But both paths are correct and files are exist there. Why I get this error?! very strange :-(

Did you solve it? I got the same problem with you.

if the path are correct (make sure), then the problem is that the xmls are generated in the Windows and windows uses different mechanism for txt files. you can convert all to the Linux format but now I can not remember its command but you can find in the search easily

Thank you so much for your reply! Yes that’s the reason and I solved it. I generated the txt in windows and they have different mechanisms for \r or \n. In windows and Linux. Thank you again!
