Introduction

Annotation-Factory Python SDK. This package works specifically with Microsoft Cognitive Services detection results. AnnotationWriter takes a JSON object received from Cognitive Services and produces annotation files in both VOC and YOLO formats for use in training machine learning models.

Getting Started

1. Install annotationfactory package via pip:

   pip install annotationfactory
   

Sample to use

from annotationfactory.annotationwriter import AnnotationWriter
import annotationfactory.annotationconverter as converter

example = {
    'tagId': 0,
    'tagName': 'Apples',
    'region': {
        'left': 0.288039029,
        'top': 0.411838,
        'width': 0.291451037,
        'height': 0.4237842
    }
}

# Initialise AnnotationWriter.
writer = AnnotationWriter()

# Initialise annotation handlers.
writer.initVoc("test.jpg", 608, 608)
writer.initYolo()

# Add VOC object to writer.
writer.addVocObject(example)
writer.addVocObject(example)

# Add YOLO object to writer.
writer.addYoloObject(example)
writer.addYoloObject(example)

# Output VOC annotations to file.
writer.saveVoc("myannotation.xml")

# Output YOLO annotations to file.
writer.saveYolo("myannotation.txt")

# Converts VOC annotations back to CustomVision annotation format.
voc2cv = converter.convertVocFromPath("myannotation.xml")

# Converts YOLO annotations back to CustomVision annotation format.
# Requires a txt file with list of label names as an input.
yolo2cv = converter.convertYoloFromPath("myannotation.txt", "class.names")

Run locally

pip install -r requirements.txt 
python example/test.py
