ultralytics.data.converter.convert_segment_masks_to_yolo_seg

convert_segment_masks_to_yolo_seg(masks_dir, output_dir, classes)

Converts a dataset of segmentation mask images to the YOLO segmentation format.

This function takes the directory containing the binary format mask images and converts them into YOLO segmentation format. The converted masks are saved in the specified output directory.

Parameters:

NameTypeDescriptionDefault
masks_dirstr

The path to the directory where all mask images (png, jpg) are stored.

required
output_dirstr

The path to the directory where the converted YOLO segmentation masks will be stored.

required
classesint

Total classes in the dataset i.e. for COCO classes=80

required
Example
from ultralytics.data.converter import convert_segment_masks_to_yolo_seg

# The classes here is the total classes in the dataset, for COCO dataset we have 80 classes
convert_segment_masks_to_yolo_seg("path/to/masks_directory", "path/to/output/directory", classes=80)
Notes

The expected directory structure for the masks is:

- masks
    ├─ mask_image_01.png or mask_image_01.jpg
    ├─ mask_image_02.png or mask_image_02.jpg
    ├─ mask_image_03.png or mask_image_03.jpg
    └─ mask_image_04.png or mask_image_04.jpg

After execution, the labels will be organized in the following structure:

- output_dir
    ├─ mask_yolo_01.txt
    ├─ mask_yolo_02.txt
    ├─ mask_yolo_03.txt

ultralytics.data.converter.convert_dota_to_yolo_obb

convert_dota_to_yolo_obb(dota_root_path: str)

Converts DOTA dataset annotations to YOLO OBB (Oriented Bounding Box) format.

The function processes images in the 'train' and 'val' folders of the DOTA dataset. For each image, it reads the associated label from the original labels directory and writes new labels in YOLO OBB format to a new directory.

Parameters:

NameTypeDescriptionDefault
dota_root_pathstr

The root directory path of the DOTA dataset.

required
Example
from ultralytics.data.converter import convert_dota_to_yolo_obb

convert_dota_to_yolo_obb("path/to/DOTA")
Notes

The directory structure assumed for the DOTA dataset:

- DOTA
    ├─ images
    │   ├─ train
    │   └─ val
    └─ labels
        ├─ train_original
        └─ val_original

After execution, the function will organize the labels into:

- DOTA
    └─ labels
        ├─ train
        └─ val

ultralytics.data.converter.create_synthetic_coco_dataset

Creates a synthetic COCO dataset with random images based on filenames from label lists.

This function downloads COCO labels, reads image filenames from label list files, creates synthetic images for train2017 and val2017 subsets, and organizes them in the COCO dataset structure. It uses multithreading to generate images efficiently.

Examples:

>>> from ultralytics.data.converter import create_synthetic_coco_dataset
>>> create_synthetic_coco_dataset()
Notes
  • Requires internet connection to download label files.
  • Generates random RGB images of varying sizes (480x480 to 640x640 pixels).
  • Existing test2017 directory is removed as it's not needed.
  • Reads image filenames from train2017.txt and val2017.txt files.
