ultralytics.data.utils.HUBDatasetStats

A class for generating HUB dataset JSON and -hub dataset directory.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
path str

Path to data.yaml or data.zip (with data.yaml inside data.zip). Default is 'coco8.yaml'.

'coco8.yaml'
task str

Dataset task. Options are 'detect', 'segment', 'pose', 'classify'. Default is 'detect'.

'detect'
autodownload bool

Attempt to download dataset if not found locally. Default is False.

False
Example

Download *.zip files from https://github.com/ultralytics/hub/tree/main/example_datasets i.e. https://github.com/ultralytics/hub/raw/main/example_datasets/coco8.zip for coco8.zip.

from ultralytics.data.utils import HUBDatasetStats

stats = HUBDatasetStats('path/to/coco8.zip', task='detect')  # detect dataset
stats = HUBDatasetStats('path/to/coco8-seg.zip', task='segment')  # segment dataset
stats = HUBDatasetStats('path/to/coco8-pose.zip', task='pose')  # pose dataset
stats = HUBDatasetStats('path/to/imagenet10.zip', task='classify')  # classification dataset

stats.get_json(save=True)
stats.process_images()

ultralytics.data.utils.autosplit(path=DATASETS_DIR / 'coco8/images', weights=(0.9, 0.1, 0.0), annotated_only=False)

Automatically split a dataset into train/val/test splits and save the resulting splits into autosplit_*.txt files.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
path Path

Path to images directory. Defaults to DATASETS_DIR / 'coco8/images'.

DATASETS_DIR / 'coco8/images'
weights list | tuple

Train, validation, and test split fractions. Defaults to (0.9, 0.1, 0.0).

(0.9, 0.1, 0.0)
annotated_only bool

If True, only images with an associated txt file are used. Defaults to False.

False
