Usage

python VOC2VoTT.py --help

usage: VOC2VoTT.py [-h] [--in_path IN_PATH] [--out_path OUT_PATH] --name NAME

    Creates a VoTT project and annotations from a Pascal VOC dataset.
    

options:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --in_path IN_PATH    Path of the Pascal VOC dataset
  --out_path OUT_PATH  Path to save the VoTT project and annotations to
  --name NAME          Name to give the created VoTT project

The only mandatory argument is --name which is used to specify the name of the VoTT project being created. The absence of an --in_path or --out_path argument will cause the script to use the current working directory for that option.

Notes

Input

Pascal VOC folder

• Must contain two subfolders: Annotations containing the annotations (.xml files) and JPEGImages containing the images.

• Must also contain a pascal_label_map.pbtxt file containing the list of class labels used in the dataset. This file should have the following format:

    item {
      id: 1
      name: 'dog'
    }
  
    item {
      id: 2
      name: 'cat'
    }
  
    item {
      id: 3
      name: 'frog'
    }
