Question on how to generate coco dataset #14

Closed mi2celis closed 2 years ago

mi2celis commented 2 years ago

I am able to generate COCO style json files by using fathomnet-generate with the option --format coco.

In your Colab tutorial you explain how to use image.to_pascal_voc to generate Pascal_VOC dataset. Is there an equivalent way to generate a COCO dataset?

kevinsbarnard commented 2 years ago

The COCO format describes a full dataset, whereas Pascal VOC describes annotations for an image. Therefore, something like image.to_coco wouldn't work.

Check the fathomnet-generate source to get an idea of how the --format coco flag works. I wrote a small library (coco-lib) with COCO data models as Python dataclasses to facilitate this process.
