Getting the Annotation directory missing error

hardikchauhan8 commented 6 years ago

Hello,

When I try to create a model with my custom dataset with two classes I am getting the below error,

Enter training ... Error: Annotation directory not found train/Annotations

I am trying to create a model with this command, flow --model cfg/tiny-yolo-voc-3c.cfg --load bin/tiny-yolo-voc.weights --train --annotation train/Annotations --dataset train/Images

you need to put the full path to your annotation folder it seems like it cant find it

hardikchauhan8 commented 6 years ago

Yes, But can you explain how can I create that folder for my own dataset?

HebaAladdin commented 6 years ago

for each one of the images in the training set you should have an xml file for the annotation containing the bounding boxes of your object. you can use labelImg tool to create the annotation for the images

hardikchauhan8 commented 6 years ago

Okay thanks.

Is there any specific directory format i have to specify for annotation, if i have multiple classes?

SkullPirateTK commented 6 years ago

You should make a dataset with two folders; one for annotation files and one for images. Each image needs a .xml file with VOC formatted annotations or the network will ignore and not train on that image.

Solved.

I had to put all the images in the root of images folder, If I create subfolders in the folder of images it is not working.

when I run flow --model cfg/yolo-pig.cfg --train --dataset "./JPEGImages" --annotation "./Annotations" --gpu 1.0 It's sloved. flow --model cfg/yolo-pig.cfg --train --dataset "./JPEGImages" --annotation "./Annotations" --gpu 1.0 /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/h5py/__init__.py:36: FutureWarning: Conversion of the second argument of issubdtype fromfloattonp.floatingis deprecated.

@HardikChauhanSA hello. how did you able to correct the Enter training ... Error: Annotation directory not found train/Annotations error? Currently, it my problem. What did you change in flow --model cfg/tiny-yolo-voc-3c.cfg --load bin/tiny-yolo-voc.weights --train --annotation train/Annotations --dataset train/Images command? Thank you!

hardikchauhan8 commented 6 years ago

do you have annotation folder created containing the xml files for all of your images?

My mistake was that i have created sub folder in my dataset directory in you case train/images.

I have putted all the images to 'images' directory and it solved my issue.

@nightfox8 I have a video and its annotations as csv file, how can I use them to train my model?
