Path Structure

Suppose that the dataset is placed in the ./data folder, the path structure should look like:

$./data/maize_tassels_counting_uav_dataset
├──── images
│       ├──── DJI_0002.JPG
│       ├──── DJI_0007.JPG
│       ├──── ...
├──── labels
│       ├──── DJI_0002.csv
│       ├──── DJI_0007.csv
│       ├──── ...
├──── train.txt
├──── val.txt

• train.txt and val.txt record the train/val split used in the experiments.
