obj-annotations-converter

Converts object detection annotations in multiple formats

Supported formats:

• Pascal VOC XML
• IBM Watson Visual Recognition Json
• cloud.annotations.ai Json
• Maximo Visual Inspection import dataset format (custom XML VOC-like with additional prop.json file)

Useful when you have preexisting annotations and want to play with IBM Watson Visual Recognition APIs, Cloud Annotations, Maximo Visual Inspection or Tensorflow

Supported scenarios:

• from watson to voc
• from voc to watson
• from watson to cloud annotation
• from cloud annotation to watson
• from watson to mvi
• from voc to mvi
• from via to mvi for polygons

TO DO:

• implement voc to cloud annotations conversion
• implement cloud annotations to voc conversion
• implement mvi to watson conversion
• implement mvi to voc conversion

Installation:

To install this program, just run

npm install
npm link

then you'll be able to use obj-annotations-converter from a shell.

Usage:

Usage: obj-annotations-converter --from watson --to voc --source . --target ./annotations

Options:
  -V, --version     output the version number
  --from <type>     Set annotation origin format [watson, voc, ca, via] (default: "watson")
  --to <type>       Set annotation destination format [watson, voc, ca, mvi] (default: "voc")
  --source <src>    origin directory
  --target <dst>    target directory
  --dataset <name>  dataset name (needed only when converting to mvi)
  -h, --help        display help for command
